Hall Hotel

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. See
www.pixaerial.com to look at the quality of the walking country.
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 Llithfaen. 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 for
lunch. Then walk up the other side of the valley to make an
interesting ascent of the Iron Age Hill Fort Tre’r Ceiri, before
returning to your car. 12 miles.

Day 3 We will drive you back to Llithfaen from where you will take the pass through a conifer forest
to Nant Gwrtheyrn Heritage Centre
www.nantgwrtheyrn.org.
This former quarrying village is now the picturesque location of a
Welsh Language School. From here follow the coast path through a
forest of stunted oak trees to the tiny pilgrim’s church at Pistyll,
which is often strewn with wildflowers near to religious festivals.
You will then head on to the neighbouring towns of Nefyn and Morfa
Nefyn where you can stop for lunch, a good location for this might
be the Tŷ Coch inn on the sands at Porth Dinllaen
www.tycoch.co.uk. From here
continue on to Edern and the hotel. Distance 12 miles.
Day 4 Today
will be a short day to help you recover from the previous two days.
Set off west from the hotel along the coast path. Once you reach Porth Towyn make a detour inland to Tudweiliog where you can have
lunch at the Lion Hotel before catching the bus back to Edern.
Distance 6 miles.

Day 5 After breakfast drive in your own car to Porth Oer and park at the National Trust car park. We will pick you
up from here and drive you back to Porth Towyn from where you will
follow the coast path back to your car. This section is classic
coastal walking with rocky cliff tops interspersed with sandy coves.

Day 6 Drive back down the peninsula to Porth Oer from
where you will follow the coastal path all the way around the
headland to Aberdaron itself
www.aberdaronlink.co.uk
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. 9 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 www.bardsey.org. 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.
