ARTHOG

Arthog Visitor Information
The village of Arthog (meaning ‘Bear’s Cave’) is positioned on the wooded lower reaches of the Mawddach Estuary's south shore. Arthog Map & Directions

In earlier days Arthog served a cluster of slate quarries, the remains of which can still be seen on the hills behind the village. Many will know the village from time spent at the Arthog outdoor education centre, a facility owned by Telford and Wrekin Council, and visited by generations of school groups over the years.

Arthog is well positioned for outdoor activity, especially walking, and public footpaths connect the village to the Mawddach Trail, Arthog Falls, Cadair Idris and Cregennen Lakes.

The Mawddach Trail is also a popular (and forgivingly flat) cycle way which connects with Barmouth and Dolgellau. For those looking for a tougher ride, the Mawddach Trail forms part of the less forgiving Mawddach Big-8.
