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 parked at the Aberglaslyn national trust car park and walked to Beddgelert and back. The river was in full flow after heavy rain, which made the waterfalls dramatic. The first part of the route is a narrow rocky path. We didn't feel unsafe, but it is reasonably challenging walking and you do need good walking boots. The second part is an easy strong on a well made path into Beddgelert.

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!
6. New Precipice Walk

The New Precipice Walk and the Precipice Walk are two entirely different walks. The New Precipice Walk is not easily accessible for buggies or people with mobility issues. The climb up through the forest from Llyn Tan-y-Graig is beautifully peaceful and the panoramic views at the top over the Mawddach estuary and Cader Idris are simply stunning. It's about 7km - although we got a little lost and added some distance! We went on to find the start of the Precipice Walk and walked around the beautiful reservoir Llyn Cynwch. On a sunny day this would make a perfect picnic spot for those with younger children.

8. Porthor Beach (Whistling Sands)

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!

We go here regularly to use the pool and gym and find it relaxing and reasonably well equipped. It is easy to use and easy to get to. If we want to there is a good bar with nice food to round off the visit
