B E W A R E ....................... !!! Car Parking in Snowdonia is very limited and can be expensive if a space can be found The alternative is to leave your car behind and use the Snowdon Sherpa Bus network IMPORTANT Commencing October 2021       Gwynfor has SUSPENDED all their direct "2S" Sunday connections along the Cambrian Coast between Barmouth and Porthmadog via Harlech You are strongly advised to consider a Monday to Saturday trip instead       Very limited alternative BUS journeys are available via Dolgellau with a long wait at Dolgellau on return       There is also a limited Sunday "Cambrian Coast Raiway Line" train service via Harlech BUT NOTE THE MUCH CHEAPER "1 bws" Day Ticket is NOT VALID ON THE ALTERNATIVE TRAINS       - click here for further details of the public transport journeys still available or here for details of the last Sunday and Public Holiday journeys from all parts of Snowdonia back to the Cambrian Coast This "unofficial" website attempts to show what is available..... and to encourage greater use of the network also includes some suggested "trips round Snowdonia - without your car"
