Waterfalls next to Torrent walk campsite in Wales!

- Our recent visit to the Snowdonia national park in North Wales took us to Torrent walk campsite, just outside Dolgellau. We immediately left our VW California campervan at the site and took a very short hike to the start of the Torrent walk which turned out to be jaw droppingly beautiful!
It gently gains elevation for the duration of the walk, alongside a fast moving river, waterfalls, super green mosses, trees and general woodland wildlife.
It's the best short walk we've done in years! We stopped off for a dinner (lunch for you southerners) break, got the camp cooking kit out and made food and a brew.
Jack our labrador loved being off lead to burn off all that energy too.
Back at camp, we had a campfire, a few beers and woke up to beautiful heavy rain so we simply headed back home, happy and fulfilled.
The campsite itself is a beautiful farm campsite, set in a countryside location with easy access from the A470. It has perfectly good facilities which are, as expected, very clean. You are allowed raised fire pits or, you can hire one from them along with buying their logs.
They also have glamping options throughout the site and, it's perfect for mountain bikers as you have Coed Y Brenin, along with other MTB centres and routes nearby.

Hi guys, many thanks for this video. As soon as we watched it, plan to visit. We are here now and have just walked the Torrent. It is beautiful and just right for a 70 yr young man and wife. Many thanks for the entertainment and ideas of where to visit. Stay happy, keep smiling and enjoy.
WOW! No flies on you two!!
That’s brilliant Geoff, glad you enjoyed it. It’s a stunning little route.
Glad to see you back too, you were missed!
Thanks Christina 😍
😅great to see you all back especially jack 😊lol glad you are well and had a nice break take care all of you
😁 thanks Christine!
Plenty more to come 👌🏼
Apple crumble and custard… 😂😂😂 vanilla? Will give it a go for sure. Cheers Profs!
😄😄 it’s one of life’s experiences!
It’s genuinely a nice drink 👍🏼
Brilliant video as always!! We love Snowdonia so will defo put this place on the list. Your Beer review are truly legendary by the way. my wife said you two are the kind of people we love meeting on campsites. 👍👍
Cheers Jason 🙏🏼
It’s a great location for a very local, short but stunning walk!
I bet you don’t meet people on campsites drinking Apple crumble & custard ale 😄😄
Brilliant video as always you three ❤
It is expensive in the lake district. We are lucky we get paid to live here really 😊
Looks like a beautiful walk, can't beat a waterfall when we've had lots of rain xx
Thanks 😁
What we want, costs a little more in the lakes but there isn’t a huge difference to be honest. Might just be, the properties available right now seem better value in Wales.
Waterfalls make great entertainment but not the best environment to talk to a microphone 😄😄
Nice one moochers ! We all know Sara will drink you under the table Al 😂
Only because she chucks up then carries on 😂🤮
Great video once again just booked the torrent walk site myself to try the waterfall walk in a couple of weeks thanks
Brilliant!
Let us know what you think of it 👍🏼
Haha some strange beers around today, great vid and you all look well, haha i actually thought Jack was eating someone’s spine, had to look twice 😂😂
It’s a platted chew.
Thanks Paul, you’re not wrong! Even surprised me when I saw it on the shelf so I HAD to buy it 😁
Plagiarism is a terrible thing but I'm afraid Ruth and I are going to prioritise that campsite and do that walk in the very near future! It's dangerously close to the Starbucks that used to sell 'Puppuchinnos' too. When you asked Sarah what time it was, Ruth and I both said, 'beer o'clock' at the same time. I don't know if that says more about us or you. 😬 Great vlog. Hopefully catch up with you soon with a few others.
😄😄 I did say after she said 5:30… “I was expecting you to say beer o’clock”
The walk is gorgeous! I can imagine there’d be a few midges in better weather but we didn’t see any, plus there’s plenty of water coming down which is ideal.
See you soon 🍻
Going to have a dodge down that way next year looks a cracking site
You won’t regret it, beautiful setting to reset your mind 👌🏼
Superior forest walk, lovely camp and yes, it’s awesome to see you back. 👏💚💚💚
Thanks Michele 🙏🏼
It’s such a beautiful area of Wales 😍
Great to see Jack, hairy beasties indeed. We’re currently in Jockland & boy is it wet today 🤦🏻♂ 🍻
How are the midges??
We’re heading up this weekend
Unless they’ve aqualungs they’ve no chance… been either wet or windy though not cold tbf. @@Professionalmoochers
@andyblake1849 it’ll no doubt be shite next week if we’re up there 🤦🏼♂️
It’s time you got wet me thinks, though your luck seems to be changing , it’s piss wet again this morning- in New Galloway@@Professionalmoochers
@@andyblake1849 we’re hoping to head that way for new year so let us know if you find any must see spots 👍🏼
Great video, you really must come and stay in in the Bryn when you’re in the area, you would love to meat my locals
Thank you 🙏🏼
It’s definitely on our long list of places to eat and drink 😁
Another great video - thanks. Coincidentally I had a can of that Northern Monka couple if nights ago at the start of our Northumberland trip. Agree with you - not bad but wouldn't buy a load. The chocolate caramel porter they do however was VERY nice.
Might have to try that site although reviews are quite mixed online. I also think £4 pn for a dog is a con. Never seen that much before. Good luck house hunting and hope you make Scotland.
Thanks mate!
The chocolate one is called northern star, got one of those in the fridge 👌🏼
I’ve not read any reviews on the campsite, not sure how you’d downgrade it unless you’re pitched up next to idiots but, we liked it, apart from the dog who doesn’t use the facilities but cost £4 😄
Lovely video, yours always give an objective honest opinion of the campsites which is very useful.
I've decided to book myself in with the Cali to stay a night or two en route to Coniston Park Coppice for a few nights.
Heartwarming to see young Jacque having adapted to the van so well and living the best life with you both
Oh and what on earth were you thinking drinking that beer? I'd rather drink the washing up water from the dishes after a roast dinner than that abomination... Each to their own I guess.
Be lucky.
😄😄😄😄😄 it was genuinely a nice beer, just not nice enough to replace more standard beers.
It’s a great location, you’ll love the walk if you explore it 👌🏼
Don’t let Jack fool you into thinking he’s behaving, he’s a great actor but, he absolutely loves the life!
😂😂😂
I prefer my beer tae taste of beer 😂😂
😄😄 so do I but you gotta push the boundaries now and again 😉
@@Professionalmoochers I'll let you dae that 🤣🤣 where are you heading tae in Scotland?
@@DunkfaeOotnAbootWiUs hoping head towards Ullapool and slightly further north but we’ll let the weather dictate that 😁
@@Professionalmoochers ach we tried that 2 weeks ago and ended up over at the Moray Coast because the weather was murder polis
Lovely Video, I’ve saved this campsite for another time, thanks for sharing, is the walk close to the site? I always watch but I’ve got a brain like a siv lol 😂
😄😄 yes it’s really easy!
Turn right out of the campsite and less than 5 minutes, you’ll see a sign for torrent walk on the right hand side of the quiet country road. If you go over the river, you’ve gone too far 👍🏼
@@Professionalmoochers thanks 🙏
What was the camp site called sorry did I miss it???
It’s called torrent walk campsite 👍🏼
Bloody hell, how much milk?! 🤣🤣
Too much! 😄
What? Wait! You have a mushroom knife?
Hasn’t everybody?? 😄😄
It has a curved blade and a built in brush for removing dirt, definitely a gimmick but pretty cheap and enables me to keep my other knives in relevant pockets/pouches to continue to do knife stuff 👍🏼
