Weatherman Walking: Abergynolwyn, the Tal y Llyn railway and the Dysynni

Lovely to see Weatherman Walking on BBC 2 this morning (5th October 2025), in which Derek Brockway visited the Talyllyn Railway, stopping off to walk at Abergynolwyn’s  Nant Gwernol station, taking a look at the history and Abergynolwyn itself, before heading out along the Dynsynni valley.  The footage is excellent, and there are some useful factoids in the chat. It was so good to see the area looking at its lush green best in the sunshine. It is available to view on iPlayer for the next six months.  This episode is shared with two other areas as well.

If you want to follow the main route taken, you can see this on the BBC’s Wales: Nature and Outdoors pages.

    Also series 7 episode 1 – Aberdyfi and the Best of 6: Northern Nostalgia – a walk up Cadair and swim in Lynn Cau.

    Brings back lovely memories, due to ill health haven’t visited for nearly 10 years. I miss Aberdyfi and surrounding area so much……

      Oh that swim in Llyn Cau, where he yelled his head off! You would not have got me in there with a bulldozer behind me, so hats off to him. Like you, it is great to see so many lovely scenes after too long away. xx
