Llyn Coastal Path Walking Holidays

The Llyn Coastal Path (or Lleyn Coastal Path), is a fascinating walking route winding around Wales’ lovely northern Peninsula, a designated ‘Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty’.

Your walk has the precedent of being an ancient route, the Pilgrim Trail tracing the spiritual journey taken in early centuries by pilgrims from Bangor, along the north and south coasts of the Llyn peninsula where they both met at Aberdaron where pilgrims waited to cross to Bardsey Island, ‘The Isle of 20,000 saints’.

Your walking holiday begins at Caernarfon in the Menai Straits and heads out about as far west as you can get on the Welsh mainland. At Aberdaron it returns along southern coastline of sandy Cardigan Bay to Porthmadog.

The 90 mile (150km) can be walked in a week without too much exertion and provides a great deal of variety in a compact route ; seashore to (small)mountain tops; sand dunes to cliffs; unspoilt Welsh speaking villages and popular seaside towns.

The Llyn Coastal Path is not entirely a coastal walk, inland sorties ascend hills with stunning views in all directions - west to the Irish coast, east to Snowdonia, north to Anglesey and south to Ynys Enlli. and a magical view of the holy island of Bardsey.

The walk features a fascinating amount of history found together in few other places in Britain: 12C coastal castles of Edward I at Caernarfon and Criccieth; Britain’s largest Iron age hill-forts; many unusual 6C Celtic churches along the trail, the 6th century hermit church of Hywyn at Aberdaron - it was here that pilgrims waited and prepared themselves for the short, but highly dangerous crossing to Ynys Enlli, the holy island of Bardsey.

At Llanystumdwy you can visit the birth place of Lloyd George, Prime Minister of Britain during WW1 , and at nearby Tremadoc the birthplace of TE Lawrence, Lawrence of Arabia.
