Barmouth loop (Bomber Lane)

Called the Barmouth loop cause the two lanes loop round forming a loop around Cadair Idris, the top lane is often called Bomber Lane since a bomber crashed on it. North end is a SH648128 one approach is to come though Arthog up a very steep UCR.. The other approach is along the top UCR from Dolgellau this is a nice scenic route in itself. The lane itself is easy and non damaging, brilliant views of Barmouth, Shell island and sometimes the Ireland itself, the crash site is around SH639119 look for a large plate in the wall.

Heading from the north, there is a lane leading off at SH628098 and heading west, it was very boggy, however now the whole surface replaced with waste slate maybe the signs to things to come. Still very plesant drive towards the coast.

Otherwise head south to the radio mast, the lane becomes tarmac, and has a lot of private cattle grids, technical not the correct legal row as they are private, but never known any objections.
