Hiking

A beautiful Welsh town with everything you need to top up before heading off in to the Snowdonian mountains. You may even pick up some of the language as it's generally Welsh speaking.

Hiking

Porthmadog is a coastal town in Gwynedd (Wales). It is located 8 km east of Criccieth, 18 km south-west of Blaenau Ffestiniog, 40 km north of Dolgellau and 32 km south of Caernarfon. The population of 4,185 at the 2011 census was estimated at 4,134 in 2019. The town grew in the 19th century as a port for local slate. As this trade declined it became a shopping and tourist centre, close to the Snowdonia National Park and the Ffestiniog railway. It is now a busy port town with a good range of shops and attractions, including nearby Portmeirion.
