Llyn Coastal Path

Walk this stunning part of the Welsh Coastal path from the Castle in Caernarfon in the NE along the pilgrim's route to the beautiful church at Clynnog Fawr, and on to Trefor and the Iron Age hill fort of Tre'r Ceiri. Walk the sandy beaches of Nefyn, Morfa Nefyn and Porth Dinllaen, and Porth Penllech and Porth Oer/Whistling Sands as you head to Uwch Y Mynydd - the Lands End of the Llyn and overlook the tranquil island of Ynnis Enlli/Bardsey island. Stay a while and explore more and continue your walk allong the southern coast to Abersoch, Llanbedrog, Pwllheli, Cricieth and Black Rock Sands and Porthmadog. If you're interested you can stay with us a few days at our B&B and we will happily provide the daily shuttle service to and from any point on the walk from Clynnog Fawr to Pwllheli. That takes all the hassle out of organising your walk and you will stay in some luxury with us. You will not be disappointed check out our reviews on Trip Advisor.

The Llŷn Peninsula is a bit of a hidden gem and the coastal path is truly lovely. Unspoilt with a great variety of patchwork countryside thanks to the active progressive farming in the area. Wicklow Mountains clearly visible from north west part of path on a clear day.

Porth Ceiriad Beach

Reviewed By HayleyRaye

The beach is beautiful & clean & at certain times of the day you will be the only one on it, the steps on the way back could be a little tiring for some but overall it's great!

Mynydd Mawr

Reviewed By digitalnomad365 - Sheffield, United Kingdom

Fantastic place to enjoy the scenery of the Llyn Peninsula, you can see most of it over to Snowdonia. We parked at the top next to the old coastguards hut, and then walked following the coastal path, and circling back through country lanes and back up via the coastal path to the headland again. Campsite nearby would be a great place to stay too. If you like walking it's ace, but the weather made it. Nothing to do for miles if it was raining!

Porth Neigwl (Hell's Mouth)

Reviewed By Johnfrisbee - Christchurch, United Kingdom

Wow, such a long, wide and wild-if-windy beach. Perfect for a gentle stroll, or blowing off the cobwebs, depending on the weather. You get a real sense of isolation here, with not that many fellow walkers, (midweek/October). It's well signposted on the local road, with a small car park. Then around 5mins walk along a sandy path through the dunes... And then - the view! We enjoyed reading the various signs, learning a little of the beach's history and wildlife. (The more signs and info the better methinks. History and wildlife very important, as well as giving areas like these context.) We loved it here, spending a very happy hour, walking part of this huge beach. Oh that we had more time to cover it all...no matter, we'll return someday.

Plas Glyn y Weddw

Reviewed By amandacH4897LV - Caernarfon, United Kingdom

I am lucky enough to come here every week for a Welsh language course. Everything about this place is lovely. The staff are always friendly and welcoming, the art and ceramics on display (and for sale) are very tempting; and the cafe serves great coffee and food. Today we had our Christmas lunch, they kindly set us up in one of the exhibition rooms, I’m not normally a fan of commercial Christmas dinners as they tend to be an opportunity to sell poor quality at an inflated price, not so here. The turkey was plentiful and moist, pigs in blankets and stuffing - very tasty - and more than enough vegetables. The after lunch coffe/tea was served with mince pie - can’t normally stand the stuff but this was gorgeous, accompanied by friendly service we all had a lovely lunch thank you Diolch yn fawr iawn, cinio Nadolig blasus iawn

Pwllheli Beach

Reviewed By bringmetothebeach123

What a beautiful place of earth this is! remote and clean and yet close to all amenities of the hustling and bustling little town of Pwllheli! Here you find both - blue flag beaches, excellent sailing waters, peace and quiet, family fun AND all this only a stroll away from shops and hospitality. What a fabulous experience!

Porthor Beach (Whistling Sands)

Reviewed By 356manfredb - Telford, United Kingdom

We travelled to Porth Oer to see the Whistling Sands Beach which we learnt about from watching a TV programme. Althought the short walk from the National Trust Car Park is quite steep it is well worth to see the Whislting Beach with its rugged Coastline. Unfortunately we were unable to witness the "whistling effect" as ther was a very strong wind which drowned out most noises. There are also Coastal Paths which can be taken along the Coast, however we did not do so on this occasion. Well worth a Visit if in the Area!
