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.

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!

We visited Plas yin Rhiw tea gardens for lunch which was lovely. The location is special and the Manor House and gardens are a retreat for artists to find inspiration. As we had the dog with us , we could not visit the house but took it in turns to have a look around the Manor gardens which are exceptionally pretty. You can enjoy sea views from the tea rooms if you sit outside and even on a blustery day, they are well sheltered as it is set in a copse.
5. St Hywyn's Church

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!

8. St. Peter's Church & Shrine of Our Lady of Pen Llyn
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 5 reviews
St Peter’s is the Parish church of Pwllheli and part of the Church in Wales ministry area of Bro Enlli. Built in 1886 to replace the former parish church it is grade 2 listed. Built by the eminent church architect Aldrich Scott and containing many fascinating historical stained glass windows it’s worth spending some time enjoying the beauty of the building itself. It is also home to the re-opened medieval Shrine of Our Lady of Pen Llyn and houses the important relic of a piece of the Veil worn by the Blessed Virgin Mary at the foot of the cross. This can be viewed by appointment. Open most days Tuesday to Sunday 9am-3pm there are also various weekly activities Sunday - Sung Mass 10.30am Tuesday - Weekday Mass 10.30am, Free Lunch 12pm, Foodbank 2-3pm Wednesday - Rural Market (March-December) 9am-12pm, Parent & Toddler group 1pm-3pm Friday - Free Lunch 12pm, Foodbank 2-3pm, Meditation & Benediction 3pm Saturday - Shrine Mass of Our Lady of Pen Llyn 10am
