The perfect location to explore the newly opened Llyn Coastal Path
Bring your friends, family or your walking club/society to stay at Carrog Farm Cottages and enjoy the Llyn Coastal Path. Stay a week or ten days at Ty Taid and walk the whole 84 miles or take a short break and choose specific parts of the path which may be of interest to you.
The Llyn Coastal Path is 84 miles long. It starts at Caernarfon and takes your right round the coastline of the beautiful Llyn Peninsula ending at Porthmadog. The coastal path has some of the most spectacular views in Wales. Snowdonia meets the Llyn Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty meets the Irish Sea!! Spot the bottle nosed dolphins and Atlantic grey seals or do a bit of bird watching! Bring your binoculars – you might see a chough or two!
The majority of the route is public footpaths, quiet country lanes and beaches. Sometimes the path goes inland, on higher ground – there are a few steep climbs.
The coastal path is based on an ancient pilgrimage route to Bardsey Island, a tranquil and peaceful island off the tip of the Peninsula, a place steeped in history and traditions. Why not take a boat trip to Bardsey to end your holiday in style?!
Take a break from walking to sample some of the other sights and attractions of the area, eg:
Caernarfon Castle – architecturally the most magnificent castle in Wales.
Glynllifon – once the large estate and mansion of the Newborough family who made their fortune from slate – now a beautiful country park with woodland paths and café.
Caer Arianrhod – seen at low tide at the beach at Dinas Dinlle, a kilometre from shore and said to be the castle of one of the legendary characters of the Mabinogi.
Nant Gwrtheyrn – once a quarry village cut off from the rest of the peninsula by a steep climb, now a Welsh language and culture centre.
Porthdinllaen – a beautiful beach with its’ seaside pub the Ty Coch Inn. Enjoy a drink on the beach!
Porthoer or Whistling Sands – a beach where the sand actually does whistle while you walk!
Plas yn Rhiw – the old home of the Keating sisters, now owned by the National Trust. Enjoy the house and the spectacular gardens sheltering fromthe prevailing winds from Hells’ Mouth (a surfers paradise).
Cilan – the headland with spectacular coastal views.
Cricieth Castle – this is the furthest West ventured by the English to subdue the Welsh in days gone by. The castle was left in ruins by Owain Glyndwr and his men in the fourteenth century.
Llanystumdwy – birthplace of David Lloyd George – take time to visit his grave and the museum dedicated to his life and work.

Yr Eifl Tre’r Ceiri – The Rivals 3 peak walk
Published May 8, 2017
Yr Eifl’s 3 peaks are called The Rivals in English, the last includes the magnificent hill fort Tre’r Ceir.
A stunning walk, with great views and history. Starting at the public car park you follow the obvious track taking in the the first peak on the left affording great views of the sea and coast. (GPX does not include this as unfortunatley it was in my rucksack left at the bottom of this peak!). From there you walk to the main peak Yr Eifl, the last section is a bit of a scramble, but so worth it at the summit. from this peak you walk down and back up to the third peak which houses the famous Tre’r Ceiri Hill Fort – a well preserved hill fort with both walls intact in places and many circular foundations of dwellings. From this peak you walk back to the start. A really worth while walk!
