Porthdinllaen Walk, Near Nefyn Snowdonia Classic Campers Tour Snowdonia Mountains and Coast CHOOSE YOUR ADVENTURE IN A CLASSIC CAMPERVAN Porthdinllaen Walk, near Nefyn This circular walk is a great excuse to visit the Tŷ Côch Inn in the pretty hamlet of Porthdinllaen. A popular inn for more than 2 centuries, customers can only reach it either by boat or on foot. It’s an easy walk that meanders back along the Wales Coast Path where you can enjoy the breath-taking views in all directions of this rugged coastline. Distance: Approx. 5 miles Time: Approx. 2 Hours Difficulty: Easy Postcode for Sat Nav: LL53 6DA (approx.) Grid Ref: SH 565 374 Ordnance Survey Map: OS Explorer 253: Lleyn Peninsula West Start Point The National Trust car park on the outskirts of Morfa Nefyn. (A497 Pwllheli – Nefyn, then the B4412 signposted to Morfa Nefyn. Follow signs to the golf course; the car park is on the right opposite the Caffi Porthdinllaen. Directions 1. Turn right at the car park entrance and follow the road to the Nefyn Golf Course car park. Turn left and follow the track behind the Clubhouse. 2. The route continues along a fenced footpath behind the golf course. Go through a kissing gate and follow the right- hand field boundary. After a second kissing gate, turn right and walk along a broad track towards Fferm Porthdinllaen Caravan and Camping Park. 3. As you approach the farm buildings, with the pond on your left, go through a metal kissing gate between the pond and the farm buildings, then turn immediately right. Follow the right-hand field boundary as it drops down to a gateway. 4. Cross the stream and go through another gateway, bear gently right up the field to another gate. 5. Go through the gate and follow the left-hand field boundary, passing a far to the other side of the field to a kissing gate. Go through the gate and continue along the left-hand field boundary to a small gate in the corner of the field. 6. Go through the gate, up some steps, and walk along a short section of raised path to Ty Mawr Farm. At the farm, with the farm building on your left, follow the track which becomes a sunken lane towards the coast and the Wales Coast Path. 7. The path leads to a secluded cove – worth a stop for a picnic! To continue along the walk, after the gate, turn right and join the Wales Coast Path. Follow the Wales Coast Path signs, heading back towards Porthdinllaen and Morfa Nefyn. 8. The walk and the Wales Coast Path, passes through the rear of Aber Gerich, and attractive cove despite the pipeline that runs along the stream out to sea. The path crosses the wide stream by a bridge which in spring is surrounded by a profusion of flowers. 9. The route follows the coastline along the edge of golf course. It is well marked with the Wales Coast Path footpath signs. Watch out for flying golf balls! 10. Follow the coastline out along the left of the ‘finger’ past the coastguard station and continue back the other side of the ‘finger’ and along the gorgeous bay of Porthdinllaen. 11. You arrive at the tiny hamlet of Porthdinllaen, a cluster of cottages and the well-known Tŷ Côch Inn. Here we paused, sat down and enjoyed the view with a well-earned Coffee Latte from Tŷ Côch and drink of water for the dogs. Tide permitting; continue across the sands, behind a group of cottages then along the beach to another small group of whitewashed cottages. If the tide makes the beach walk impassable. Follow the track behind Tŷ Côch up to the golf course and then on to the golf course car park where you will join the road back to the National Trust car park. 12. At the cottages, turn right up the road, then just after the public toilets on the right take the marked footpath up the hill back to the National Trust car park. Please note.

LL53 6EG XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXX www.tydoctor.wales.nhs.uk 10 April 2017 Dr Dai Lloyd Mr Rhun Ap Iorwerth National Assembly for Wales Cardiff Bay CARDIFF CF99 1NA Annwyl Dai a Rhun, Thank you for coming up to Caernarfon to meet with us last week. I hope you found it informative and useful for your ongoing enquiry. My name is Arfon Williams and I have been a General Practitioner in Nefyn for the past 22 years. Unfortunately, I am the sole partner in the practice, caring for about 4300 patients, extending along the north tip of the Llyn Peninsula from Aberdaron to Clynnog Fawr. We have found it very difficult to recruit and we have had to change our whole work model in order to continue to provide a service to our patients in a safe way. The last two years have been incredibly difficult, and without the support of my excellent staff, it would have been virtually impossible for us to carry on. We have made some significant changes to the way we provide medical care, in that we have changed our skill mix, capacity, working day etc. I enclose a letter that I sent to the Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board to explain to them the methods we have introduced in order that they might be able to disseminate that information to help others in a similar predicament. To the best of my knowledge, I do not think that this information has been shared (which is disappointing).

Mae'r dolydd hyn yn agored i ddifrod gan angorfeydd sefydlog sy'n creu creithiau angori mawr ar unrhyw forwellt.

  • Taith Pererin 2 Basingwerk Abbey Saturday 3
    Taith Pererin 2 Basingwerk Abbey Saturday 3 May - Departure Over 20 Pilgrims and supporters have set off from Basingwerk Abbey this morning after a few words of prayer led by Chris. We stop at Pantasaph Priory for lunch, then continue via the Roman Pharos in Coed y Garreg and the magnificent Celtic cross at Maen Achwyfan, to Llanasa, where we take a rest in the memorial garden by the church before continuing to Trelawnyd, which we reach about 5:30. A long first day, highlights including orange-tip butterflies in the woods above St Winefride's Well, the first early purple orchid, gorse now in flower everywhere and an imminent explosion of May blossom. These two scents will now accompany us for the next 11 days as we make our way steadily westwards. We now have our Pilgrim Passports, and Jenny nobly carries the new stamps in her rucksack. These will, in due course, be left in churches and communities, shops, pubs, cafés for all to record their progress along the Way. It's an early (8:30) start from Trelawnyd tomorrow, due to the need to be in St Asaph Cathedral by 3:30 for the service marking the culmination of the Diocesan Year of Pilgrimage. Sunday 4 May - Howard's Tree It's an earlier start this morning after the now customary transport shuffle. We leave Trelawnyd at 8:30 and make better progress than yesterday, soon reaching the top of Rhuallt Hill. There are some really eccentric garden ornaments around Rhuallt - one chap has a Spitfire and a dinosaur (which has acquired a baby since last year), while his neighbour has (among others) John Wayne on horseback, Barack Obama on a park bench, three Jedi Warriors and King Kong.

Greaves. The family were well-known members of the Caernarfonshire gentry. John Whitehead Greaves, J.E. Greaves1 father was involved in the exploitation of slate mines and quarries around Ffestiniog through his company, J.W. Greaves and Son, Porthmadog, in which he was followed by his son. John Greaves was a considerable landowner in his own right, with a large estate at Glangwna as well as property at Bron Eifion, Criccieth. From 1910 he also had considerable investments in Canadian developments. Before succeeding to the Lieutenancy on the death of the previous incumbent, the first Lord Penrhyn, in 1886, John Greaves had served as High Sheriff in both Merioneth and Caernarfonshire, and as Deputy Lieutenant for Merioneth. As Lord-Lieutenant of Caernarfonshire it was his duty to act for the Crown in the County, corresponding frequently with Buckingham Palace and representing the Crown on ceremonial occasions. His position also called for him to chair the Advisory Committee, which was responsible for the nomination and recommendation of Justices of the Peace.
