This is an opportunity to tackle a linear walk along the North Coast of Lleyn, the Edge of Wales Walk, and yet to have the convenience of staying in one location without having to repack everyday. This holiday will make part use of your own car together with our minibus we can ensure that you do not have to keep doubling back. You walk only in one direction towards your destination, Bardsey Island.
Tour Itinerary:
Day 1: Arrive at the Woodlands Hall Hotel in Nefyn. This is a pleasant three star hotel surrounded by trees with en suite rooms. Evening meals are served in the restaurant. If you arrive in good time then there is the option of walking up to the hill-fort Carn Fadryn, which has panoramic views of the entire peninsula -some 4 miles away.
Day 2: After breakfast we will meet you and ask you to follow us in your own car to the end point of the day’s walk in Llanaelhaearn. We will then take you on in our minibus to the start of the walk at Clynnog Fawr. Clynnog was the traditional assembly point for pilgrims making the journey to Bardsey Island, and contains a fine church, chapel and holy well dedicated to St Beuno. You can then set out on the first section of the walk over the high moors at Bwlch Mawr, which will lead you to the Rivals Inn at Llanaelhaearn. 8 miles.
Day 3: We will lead you to Pistyll where you can park your car and we will take you on to the start of your day’s walk near Llanaelhaearn. This involves an interesting ascent of the Yr Eifl range and the Iron Age fort of Tre’r Ceiri, followed by the Nant Gwrtheyrn Heritage Centre Distance 8 miles.
Day 4: We take you to Pistyll from where you walk back to your hotel in Edern via Nefyn and the famous pub on the beach at Porth Dinllaen. 8 miles.
Day 5: You will walk directly from the hotel to meet up with the coastal path and follow this south-west all along the coast until you reach an agreed point on the coast near Llangwnnadl, from where we will return you to your hotel. Distance 11 miles or less if you wish.
Day 6: On this day we ask you to drive down the peninsula to Porth Oer from where you will follow the coastal path all the way around the headland to Aberdaron itself. This section provides spectacular views from the hills at the tip of the peninsula, both south-west to Bardsey Island and north-east along almost the entire length of the route. It’s a great opportunity to see just how far you’ve come! Once you reach Aberdaron, pop in for a well deserved cup of tea at our offices before we drive you back to your car. 11 miles or less if you wish.
Day 7: Return in your car to Porth Meudwy not far from Aberdaron. Here you can park before taking 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 of the return trip is £25 per head payable to the Bardsey Island Trust, a charity that works to preserve this unique location. You will return circa 3:00pm and can then return to your hotel.
Day 8: Check out and drive home via the delights of Snowdonia.
