Walking
The Lleyn Peninsula reaches west from the mountainous heartland of
Snowdonia to form both the northern limit of Cardigan Bay and the
southern arc of Caernarfon Bay to the north. It is the northernmost
and smallest of the three great peninsulas which dominate the west
coast of England and Wales - Lleyn, Pembrokeshire and Cornwall.
Lleyn has much in common with these larger cousins; its coastline is
both dramatic and beautiful with numerous fine sandy bays, isolated
coves and magnificent cliff scenery. Inland, a range of fine
volcanic hills give superb views of the entire peninsula along with
the neighbouring peaks of Snowdonia.
Walking on any the Lleyn Peninsula's circular walks which explore
some of the finest sections of the coast along with a number of
Lleyn's more prominent hills. With distances from 2.5 to 7 miles,
all abilities are catered for - from those looking for a casual
half-day walk to add colour to a holiday, to the more ambitious who
may walk here as an alternative to Snowdonia.

Why not follow the footsteps of the 5th Century Celtic monks and
venture along the Pilgrims' Trail?
The West part of the Church of St Cian (Llangian) is of the 13th
Century. Within the grounds there is a rough stone pillar
commemorating the resting place of Melus the doctor. It is the only
record in Britain of a doctor on early Christian inscriptions. The
stone is of the 5th or early 6th Century.
