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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
5. 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!

Great for leisurely dangling a crab/prawn net or just watching the boats bobbing up and down or just the sea lapping against the beach. Good parking....toilets too!
9. Criccieth Castle
Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 781 reviews
Advance booking required Spectacular coastal castle built – and destroyed – by powerful Welsh princes Criccieth is truly a castle to capture the imagination. Crowning its own rocky headland between two beaches it commands astonishing views over the town and across the wide sweep of Cardigan Bay. No wonder Turner felt moved to paint it. By then it was a picturesque ruin – destroyed by one of Wales’s most powerful medieval princes, Owain Glyndŵr.

Worth the £5.60 entry fee per adult. Interesting info display before you visit the castle. Well keep grounds. Amazing views from the top... plenty of seating for peaceful relaxation.

Flat beach with beautiful views. We visited when it was raining but it was still beautiful. Looks like the tide comes in high though. Easy access from town.
