Borth-y-Guest is a small, unspoiled village on the bank of the Glaslyn
estuary. It can be reached on foot by a path from the far end of the
Porthmadog quayside, or by road from the centre of the town. Beyond the
village there are fine walks leading to a series of small coves, and
excellent views towards Portmeirion and across the bay to Harlech.
Morfa Bychan is a small village a short way past Borth-y-Guest,
and about 2 miles by road from the centre of Porthmadog. From the
village, a road leads to the "drive on" beach, known as Black
Rock sands. Adjoining the beach is the Greenacres Caravan park. The
beach is ideal for families, with dunes, a long, sandy beach, caves
at the western end, together with excellent views across the bay. At low
tide it is possible to walk along the shoreline to Criccieth. The
English meaning of the name Morfa Bychan is "Little
Marsh". |
