This is the view of the Dwyryd Estuary in one direction from our room and this....
was the other way. The Portmeirion hotel is right on the edge of the Estuary.
There is a walk away from the village, which goes along the water's edge towards the sea for some way and then turns inland.
These two images show stumps of trees studded with coins. Apparently, this practice began in America and I understand there is someone doing a PhD about it.....otherwise, I don't know anything else about these studded stumps...we did find another one elsewhere in North Wales.
The view looking back along the path at the curve where the pathway ceases to be paved. Looking towards the Arenig and Rhinog mountains.
This is the point at which the pathway meets the beach. This doesn't seem to have a particular name but the stretch of water is the Afon Crigyll as it reaches the sea. The Crigyll is the main river that occupies the Dwyryd but there are small, somewhat ragged-looking tributaries which feed it.
I didn't walk any further than this but it is possible to follow the path back inland, higher up the hillside and see other features that have been established on the Portmeirion estate before returning to the village.
