Barmouth – OS Wallpaper Download April 2026
This month we continue with our aerial photography series and to tie in with the new release of our Outstanding Walks Wales/Cymru guidebook, our flying team have selected an aerial image of Barmouth and the Grade II* listed Barmouth Bridge.
Barmouth is a seaside town in the north‑west of Wales, lying on the estuary of the Afon Mawddach and the sweeping coastline of Cardigan Bay. It’s an exciting base for outdoor exploration, offering spectacular coastal and mountain scenery in every direction.
The area is ideal for walking and cycling, with access to the famous Mawddach Trail, while the sheltered estuary and open bay provide excellent conditions for kayaking, paddleboarding, and sea swimming.
With Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park just a short distance away, Barmouth is perfectly placed for those looking to combine coastal adventure with more challenging mountain escapes.
Outstanding Walks Wales/Cymru guidebook
If you’re looking to explore beyond Barmouth and find more of what Wales has to offer, our new Outstanding Walks Wales/Cymru guidebook is an excellent source of inspiration.
The beautifully produced guidebook brings together 60 hand‑picked walks showcasing the very best of the Welsh landscape, from gentle coastal strolls to challenging full‑day mountain hikes. The collection includes 26 short walks, 23 half‑day routes and 11 full‑day adventures, making it suitable for a wide range of abilities and ambitions.
Covering iconic destinations such as Eryri (Snowdonia), national parks, UNESCO World Heritage Sites and lesser‑known hidden gems, the book is packed with inspiration.
Alongside the walks, you’ll find 48 ‘Don’t Miss’ sites and 42 picture‑perfect locations, brought to life with stunning photography and thoughtful storytelling.
