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.

We came here as a family of adults back in September☺️ Paul made my booking, answered all my questions and put me at ease!!! An easy and efficient process. We booked segways, and you have to arrive around 15 mins before to fill in paperwork and then the fun begins???? Very covid safe.. but despite coronavirus, this was one of the highlights of our holiday☺️ stepping onto the Segway for the first time was a little scary, but Davs was fun, positive, and reassuring and gave us the best possible experience!! Our mum was the most nervous but actually turned out to be the best at it☺️ We formed a team of the ‘curly wurlys’ and played games against another group. It was fantastic!!!!!!! Honestly can’t recommend this place enough, if only we lived closer we would definitely come back again!! Would recommend this experience to everyone.. despite having been home from our holiday for a while, we’re still talking about our Segway experience???? Thank you so much guys☺️

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

Plas yn Rhiw

Reviewed By derekcbap - Nantwich, United Kingdom

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.

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!

Had a great time on brewery tour - more interesting than many as it covered how company got going as well as making beer. The beer is excellent and bar is dog friendly :)
