Welcome to the Edge of Wales Walk

Section 7 Mynydd Mawr to Aberdaron
	Aberdaron is the most westerly village in Llŷn. An old fishing and shipping settlement, its church was founded in the 6^th Century by St Hywyn, a follower of St Cadfan. This magnificent 12^th Century double naved church was known as the "cathedral of Llŷn" and enjoys a spectacular setting overlooking the beach. Also in the village is the "Gegin Fawr", the "Big Kitchen", where Pilgrims since the 13^th Century have been able to take their last meal before crossing to Bardsey Island.
Distance 4 miles / 6.4 km
Terrain This is all gentle but spectacular cliff walking through National Trust property overlooking Bardsey Island, on to the wild headland of Pen y Cil and then to Aberdaron Bay. There is plenty of coastal heath-land rich in bird life and wild flowers in which to wander undisturbed.
