The journey takes less than half an hour by bike and about an hour on foot. As you leave the station's main entrance turn right to reach the main road and right again under the railway bridge. Proceed along the path on the left hand side of the road. As you near the Dyfi river bridge, cross over the road again and continue through the gates and alongside the riverbank until you reach the footbridge on the left hand side. Cross over the footbridge and continue through the gate and along the pathway until you reach the white cottage. Turn right onto the minor road and continue downhill across the stream. Take the first left immediately after the bridge (there is a sign to CAT here), and continue along this lane for approximately two miles. CAT Visitor Centre is clearly signposted on arrival. Cycle parking is available on site
