Day 2: After breakfast we will ask you to follow us in your own car, parking at the end point of the day’s walk in Llithfaen. We take you on in our minibus to the start of the walk at Clynnog Fawr church. This was the traditional assembly point for medieval pilgrims making the journey to Bardsey Island. The first section of the walk takes you over high moors at Bwlch Mawr and on to the Rivals Inn at Llanaelhaearn (lunch option) and then up an interesting ascent of the Yr Eifl range spectacular Iron Age fort of Tre’r Ceiri and back to your car at Llithfaen.

Day 4: You walk directly from the guest house to meet up with the coastal path following this south-west along the coast until you reach Porth Towyn heading inland until you reach Tudweiliog where you can stop for lunch at the Lion Hotel. You can then catch the local bus back to Morfa Nefyn to pick up your car so that you can drive to your new accommodation at the Pretoria in the center of Aberdaron close to a number of pubs and cafes. Distance 8 miles or more if you wish.
Day 5: After breakfast park your car at the National Trust Car Park at Porth Oer and we will take you on to Porth Towyn from where you can follow the path along rocky coves and sandy beaches to your car. Distance 10 miles.
Day 6 After breakfast we will return you to Oer from where you will follow the coastal path all the way around the headland to Aberdaron itself. This section provides magnificent 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 office. Distance 10 miles.
