Discovering Snowdonia

Episode 2 of 6

Julia Bradbury continues her series of walks along Britain's lost rail empire as she visits the Mawddach estuary in north Wales, a beautiful part of Snowdonia.

Julia walks along the stunning Mawddach estuary in north Wales. The area between Dolgellau and the coastal resort of Barmouth is one of the least visited parts of Snowdonia, but in the 1860s it received a great rush of holidaymakers, taking advantage of the new railway that connected the valley to the cities of England.
