John Morgan from Aberystwyth Ramblers tells BBC Wales reporter John Meredith what he loves about the Ynyslas walk...(Need help with RealPlayer?)The 360 degree sweep is a view to please any pair of eyes. Look across the sea to the north-west to spot Bardsey Island off the Lleyn Peninsula. Some swear they can make out the summit of Snowdon to the north, while New Quay head is prominent to the south.
Most distinguishable are the resorts of Aberdyfi, across the river on its Gwynedd shore, and Borth overlooked by cliffs to the south. Inland of Borth is Cors Fochno, which is regarded as one of the most impressive lowland raised bogs in the UK.
More immediate, to the north, are the dunes of Ynyslas itself. Notice 'blow outs' where erosion has been caused by the wind scouring the sand or the over-trampling of the protective marram grass.
Descend the steps towards the sea 
to come to the end of this boardwalk. At the foot of the boardwalk, look out for bee orchids which flower here during June and July. You may recognise sea spurge, a perennial capable of growing up through sand when covered in the more unstable dunes near the sea.
The boardwalk ends where the beach begins. A red flag warns you not to bathe from the beach because of the strong currents here.

Looking at Ynslas here at home we can't wait for a bit of sunshine so that we can visit, its especially lovely in the early evening to have a lovely stroll and watch the twinkling lights as you look over towards Aberdovey.

Make your way along the boardwalk to the viewpoint platform. This is the highest point in the dunes and on a fine day, the views from here can be stunning.
