This holiday will give you an opportunity to undertake a linear walk from start to finish staying in a series of friendly local guest houses on B&B terms and without having to carry packs. Your luggage will be carried for you and you will be met at the beginning of the holiday by the tour organizer who will fully brief you on the walk and explain the maps. This holiday will take you through some of the best coastal walking in Europe and allow you to see something of the local culture and people.
Tour Itinerary:
Day 1: Arrive at the Parc Elernion set in wooded countryside near Trefor. This is a farmhouse with tastefully furnished rooms. You can park your car here for the duration of the holiday and use it to access local pubs and restaurants for evening meals.
Day 2: We will meet you after breakfast and take you to Clynnog Fawr. We will brief you on the route, lend you detailed maps and demonstrate a GPS unit to you which will be a directional aid. Clynnog Church was the traditional assembly point for medieval pilgrims making the journey to Bardsey Island and whose footsteps you follow. Then you will set out on the first section of the walk over the high moors at Bwlch Mawr. This is wild and rocky moorland with lovely views of the foothills of Snowdonia. This part is often shrouded in low-lying cloud so your GPS may come in very handy! The path will lead you down to the Village of Llanaelhaearn - lunch option at the Rivals Inn, before walking on to the Parc Elernion. 11 miles. Option to walk up to the Tre’r Ceiri Iron Age fort - an extra 2 miles.
Day 3: Walk over the pass to the beautiful and isolated valley of Nant Gwrtheyrn, the path snaking down the sheer sides of the valley. The route then continues along the cliffs through wind-stunted oak woodland before reaching chough country and the tiny pilgrim’s church at Pistyll finishing in the seaside village of Morfa Nefyn and your new accommodation at the Glascoed Guest House where your luggage awaits. This is a family run guest house with a large family en suite room (Distance = 10 miles).
Day 4: Set off along the coast past the celebrated Inn at Porth Dinllaen and some of the best coastal scenery in the UK and on to Porth Colmon from where you will head inland to Carrog Farm, a working farm with well appointed and comfortable en suite rooms and a warm Welsh welcome. (Distance = 12 miles).
Day 5: You walk back to the coast all the way through to Porth Oer and then on around the National Trust owned headland at the tip of the peninsula - stunning views of Bardsey Island - finishing in Aberdaron itself. The will stay the night in the Pretoria Guest House which has recently been completely refitted and is in a quiet location near to the village centre. (Distance = 12 miles).
Day 6: Walk to Porth Meudwy not far from Aberdaron and take the Enlli ferry across to Bardsey Island. This is a beautiful place, full of wildlife and steeped in history. Visitors have three hours to explore before returning to the mainland. The cost is £25 per head payable to the Bardsey Island Trust. You will return circa 3:30pm.
Day 7: After breakfast we will return you to your car for your journey home, which will give you the chance to sample the delights of Snowdonia, or visit the local National Trust house at Plas yn Rhiw.
