Aberdaron
The walk starts from the centre of Aberdaron. Follow the road to Porth Oer and after a ¼ mile turn left opposite Dwyros. Follow the lane downhill for some 200 yards, turn left at the National Trust sign for "Cwrt". The path crosses a wooden bridge and continues as a track for 3/4 mile toward the headland, with views of Aberdaron and the isles of Ynys Gwylan Fawr and Ynys Gwylan Bach.
The beautiful cove, Porth Meudwy, comes into view, this was an embarkation point for pilgrims to Bardsey Island and is now a busy lobster fishing cove.
Unfortunately at Porth Meudwy all the height we have gained is quickly lost as the path descends once again to sea level. But that is the nature of the walk and the path quickly climbs again continuing on to Porth Cloch where the path turns inland to a metalled road. Bear left then on through a signposted gate. Head toward the ladder stile but don't cross it. Instead bear right through another gate in the corner of the wall. With the fence on the right continue ahead for 1/2 mile across the heath land of Mynydd Bychestyn. until reaching a lane. Bear left down the lane then cross over a gate before continuing right along the path, keeping the fence on the right.
The heights above Porth Felen offers views toward the "Gate of Paradise", the holy Isle of Bardsey. (A place of pilgrimage for a thousand years and described as being half way between this world and the next.)
From Porth Felen cross two ladder stiles and bear right uphill keeping the fence on the right, then bear left till the path turns right bearing inland. With Mynydd Gwyddel on the left bear left down hill keeping to the right of stream. The remains of St Mary's Church will be found on your right after some 1/4 mile.
From here it is possible to visit St Mary's Well, but take care, and it is at your own risk......obviously! The Well is reputed to have been blessed by the Virgin Mary herself and was the last chance for the pilgrims to receive a blessing before the crossing to the Holy Isle of Bardsey.
Follow the stream to the clifftop and continue down the steep steps to the shoreline rocks. The Well is approximately 30 yards to the right, but a visit is only recommended at low tide.
To continue the walk leave the remains of the church and head north west toward the base of the mountain slope. Follow the narrow path with a steep slope to the sea on the left and In ½ mile bear right uphill to the summit of Mynydd Mawr. From the summit follow the road north east for a few hundred yards until the road bends to the right.
Bear left on the path, crossing stiles, and keeping fences to the right, and keep close to the coast for approximately 1 mile until reaching a field below Mynydd Anelog. Cross the stile and bear right along the top edge of field. Leaving the field turn left uphill, keeping to the track with the fence on your right. After approximately 200 yards bear right at the post and continue for approx. 1/4 mile to Gors. Follow the lane back to Aberdaron village.
Llyn Cregennen (organised walk)
The second archaeological walk from Pensychnant to Caer Seion, an Iron Age hill fort on Conwy Mountain, will be held on Sunday, July 13th. This walk is part of a joint project between Conwy County Borough Council and Gwynedd Archaeological Trust. The Countryside Council for Wales has also contributed to the project which includes installing an interpretation panel and improving the paths around Caer Seiont. The walk will be an important educational tool and will help to improve people’s enjoyment and understanding of the area’s hill forts. Coinciding with this event and with support form Cadw, Gwynedd Archaeological Trust will carry out a small research excavation at the site. The walk will start at Pensychnant Car Park (SH 275 377) at 2pm and return by 5. The distance will be approximately three miles. see SITE for more details
