This spectacular section of the New Precipice Walk gives gorgeous views across the Mawddach Estuary, as the river winds its way towards the Irish Sea. Look closely and you'll see Penmaenpool and its toll bridge. As well as this wonderful scene, don't forget to gaze east towards the distant Aran mountains.
