See local bus Walk time: time tables for details of check at: 4-5 hours www.traveline.cymru/journey-planner WEATHERMAN WALKING PAGE 3 PORTH NEIGWL TO ABERSOCH, LLYN Directions The Wales Coast Path goes through the car park next to Porth Neigwl shoreline Porth Neigwl Beach, and it’s a sandy path of a few hundred yards through the dunes to the massive 4-mile expanse of golden sand, edged with dunes. The car park is small and has no other facilities. Porth Neigwl PORTH NEIGWL Porth Neigwl Beach (SH 28252 26461) BEACH Porth Neigwl has another name, Hell’s Mouth. It was named that by sailors because of the treacherous ‘gnarly’ waters. No seaman 1 who knew the area would ever try and seek shelter in this bay. Those who did sometimes came to a sticky end. In 1898 a slate-carrying schooner, called the Twelve Apostles, was caught in a storm and blown into Porth Neigwl. The crew managed to fight their way to shore, but the ship was wrecked. She was just one of 30 ships known to have wrecked in this bay – at low tide you can often see some of their remains. During the second world war, this beach was used as a bombing and firing practice range for airmen from RAF Penrhos, just along the coast. At one time, there was a model aircraft propelled along a narrow gauge railway along the beach for trainee gunners to practice on. Odd sections of concrete wall scattered in the dunes date from WW2. WEATHERMAN WALKING PAGE 4 PORTH NEIGWL TO ABERSOCH, LLYN Directions From the beach, turn left, with the sea on your right towards the mountainous Mynydd Cilan Porth Neigwl dunes ahead. The footpath goes along the shore and across the dunes for about 0.8 of a mile. PORTH NEIGWL Porth Neigwl Dunes (SH 28775 25950) DUNES Dunes During the summer, the dunes here are the site of a very rare bee, the Osmia xanthomelana, 2 also known as the Mason Bee – the rarest solitary bee in Britain. It hadn’t been seen since the 1920s until the 1990s when they were spotted at two sites on the LLyn Peninsula. While it is still rare – there are still only about 50 females in each site – Natural Resources Wales teams have been working to improve the habitat for them at Porth Neigwl. The Mason bees get their name due to them using mud or other ‘masonry products’ in building their nests, often in the dunes. WEATHERMAN WALKING PAGE 5 PORTH NEIGWL TO ABERSOCH, LLYN Tasting local honey Honey bees Derek says, “Having found out about the Mason Bee, I was taken to see some honey bees on the Peninsula. It is said that every third mouthful of food we eat has been created by pollination, thanks to bees, so they are pretty important creatures. The honey they produce also has good healing properties, and it’s believed that if you suffer from hay fever or allergies, local honey can prove to be a benefit. I tried some of the Llyn honey on a scone and have to say it was blasus iawn – delicious in Welsh!” WEATHERMAN WALKING PAGE 6 PORTH NEIGWL TO ABERSOCH, LLYN Directions Back on the Wales Coast Path I’m now heading up onto the Mynydd Cilan Peninsula headland of Mynydd Cilan. It’s quite a climb – about 400 feet. It’s a well-marked path and rises for more than a mile before plateauing out. You’ll have to share the path with grazing sheep at times. Derek and Warren Kovach next to St Seiriol s Well TIP OF MYNYDD Tip of Mynydd Cilan (SH 29535 23181) CILAN From the tip of Mynydd Cilan, there are spectacular views out across the Irish Sea. If you look 3 straight ahead, the next place you would see is Cuba. Climbing Mynydd Cilan Bird watchers have reported recent sightings of curlews, which is great as they are on the global ‘at risk’ list and haven’t been seen in the area for some time. WEATHERMAN WALKING PAGE 7 PORTH NEIGWL TO ABERSOCH, LLYN Directions The path continues past the site of an ancient burial chamber at Tryn Llech-y-doll before going inland for about a mile and a half. It crosses farmland before returning to the sea above Porth Ceiriad. Porth Ceriad Coast Path above Porth Ceiriad (SH 31270 24954) COAST PATH Porth Ceiriad is a pretty south-facing cove with a beautiful sandy beach. It’s one of the best Mynydd Cilan Sign 4 beaches in the area but a bit of a hidden gem as it’s fairly remote. There’s a good walk down from the car park and involves crossing fields then going down steep steps to get to the shore. It is, however, a magnet for experienced surfers, producing large, powerful waves. The cliffs here are of particular interest to geologists, with the folded layers of rocks revealing millions of years of geological evolution. WEATHERMAN WALKING PAGE 8 PORTH NEIGWL TO ABERSOCH, LLYN Directions The coast path veers away from the beach and climbs further up the headland, turning the ‘corner’ at Trwyn yr Wylfa. It passes overhead of the Pistyll Cim waterfall, and soon two islands can clearly be seen about half a mile offshore. leaving Porth Ceriad St Tuwdals east and west ST TUWDAL’S St Tuwdal’s Island east (SH 34146 25902) ISLAND EAST St Tuwdal’s Island west (SH 33446 25238) 5 The islands take their name from St Tudwal, a Celtic monk who became a hermit on the east First view of St Tudwals islands island in the 6th century. It was also the site of a later priory, and the only house on the island was once a chapel for pilgrims wanting isolation and quiet prayer. The islands are havens for wildlife, especially seals. WEATHERMAN WALKING PAGE 9 PORTH NEIGWL TO ABERSOCH, LLYN Directions The views of the islands continue for about a mile Former Engine House before the coast path dips inland and drops through farmland to the hamlet of Machroes, once the centre of a thriving lead mining industry. PENRHYN DU Penrhyn Du Engine House (SH 32251 26226) ENGINE HOUSE There were once several lead mines in this area, and Penrhyn Du, or ‘black headland’, is 6 thought to have been the first of them. It was opened in 1638 and ran until the 1890s. This building once pumped water from the Penrhyn Du mine. It’s likely to have been built by Cornish workers as mining skills were in short supply locally. The nearby cottages called Sheep near Machroes Cornish Row also denote the link with Cornwall. The proximity of the sea would have helped mine owners to bring such heavy machinery to this area, when overland transport was poorly developed. The lead could be loaded onto ships at Penrhyn Du point, a little north of here. There are several mine shafts (vertical tunnels) on the land next to the engine house. Some have been filled; others remain open but are fenced off for safety. The engine house is in a private garden, to which there is no public access. WEATHERMAN WALKING PAGE 10 PORTH NEIGWL TO ABERSOCH, LLYN Directions From here, the path joins a stone road, currently in a poor state of repair, and drops down in Machroes. It follows the coastline and passes near a good sea-front cafe and large car park before crossing the golf course. , Waterfront Cafe Machroes Abersoch Golf Club ABERSOCH Abersoch Golf Club (SH 31568 26666) GOLF CLUB The golf course dates from 1907 and was designed by Harry Vardon, a golfing superstar in his 7 day. Vardon, who was born in Jersey, won the Open Championships a record six times.

  • Marine Character Areas MCA 14 TREMADOG BAY & DWYRYD
    Marine Character Areas MCA 14 TREMADOG BAY & DWYRYD ESTUARY Location and boundaries This Marine Character Area (MCA) encompasses the shallow waters of Tremadog Bay, nestled between the Llŷn Peninsula and the Snowdonia coast in north-west Wales. It includes the tidal extents of the Glaslyn and Dwyryd estuaries, up to the High Water Mark. The MCA is characterised by shallower waters (informed by bathymetry) and markedly lower wave climate/wave exposure compared with the surrounding MCAs. The rocky reef of Sarn Badrig forms the southern MCA boundary, with associated rough, shallow waters as marked on the Marine Charts. The coastal areas which form the northern boundary of the MCA are contained within NLCAs 4: Llŷn and 5: Tremadoc Bay. www.naturalresourceswales.gov.uk MCA 14 Tremadog Bay and Dwyryd Estuary - Page 1 of 9 Key Characteristics Key Characteristics A sweeping, shallow bay with wide sandy beaches, and a distinctive swash-aligned coastal landform at Morfa Harlech. To the north, the rugged coastal peak of Moel-y- Gest is a prominent landmark. Extensive intertidal area at the mouth of the Dwyryd estuary, with a meandering channel running through it, and continuing inland. Ynys Gifftan is located in the estuary. Shallow mud and sand substrate overlying Oligocene and Permo-Triassic sedimentary rock with a diverse infaunal community. Traditionally, mariners used sounding leads on to follow the ‘muddy hollow’ from off St Tudwal’s East to Porthmadog fairway buoy. Includes part of the designated Lleyn Peninsula and the Sarnau SAC, recognised for its reefs, shallow inlets and estuaries. Extensive intertidal habitats and river channels designated SAC and SSSI (Morfa Harlech and Glaslyn) provide important bird feeding and overwintering sites and habitat for rare plants and insects.

  • The North Wales Pilgrim's Way. Spiritual Re
    27 The North Wales Pilgrim’s Way. Spiritual re- vival in a marginal landscape. DANIELS Andrew Abstract The 21st century has seen a marked resurgence in the popularity of pilgrim- age routes across Europe. The ‘Camino’ to Santiago de Compostela in Spain and routes in England to Walsingham in Norfolk and Canterbury in Kent are just three well-known examples where numbers of pilgrims have increased dramati- cally over the last decade. The appeal to those seeking religious as well as non- spiritual self-discovery has perhaps grown as the modern world has become ever more complicated for some. The North Wales Pilgrim’s Way is another ancient route that has once again seen a marked increase in participants during recent years. Various bodies have attempted to appropriate this spiritual landscape in or- der to attract modern pilgrims. Those undertaking the journey continue to leave their own imprints on this marginal place. Year by year they add further layers of meaning to those that have already been laid down over many centuries of pil- grimage. This short paper is the second in a series of research notes looking specifically at overlapping spiritual and tourist connections in what might be termed ‘periph- eral landscapes’ in remote coastal areas of Britain. In particular I will focus on how sites connected with early Celtic Christianity in Britain have been used over time by varying groups with different agendas. In the first paper in this series, I explored how the cult of St. Cuthbert continues to draw visitors to Lindisfarne or Holy Island in the North East of England.

  • SEASIDE TOWNS in WALES: a ‘Benchmarking’ Study
    SEASIDE TOWNS IN WALES: A ‘benchmarking’ study Christina Beatty, Steve Fothergill and Ian Wilson Centre for Regional Economic and Social Research Sheffield Hallam University Report to Visit Wales The findings in this report are the sole responsibility of the authors and do not necessarily represent the views of Visit Wales or the Welsh Assembly Government November 2009 1 Contents Summary 1. SCOPE OF THE REPORT 2. STATISTICAL EVIDENCE • Population • Language • Employment • Economic status • Skills and qualifications • Benefits • Seasonal unemployment • Earnings • Business stock • Migrant workers • Economic output • Housing • Deprivation 3. ASSESSMENT Many of the statistics presented in this report have been compiled from data held on NOMIS: National Statistics ( www.nomisweb.co.uk ). Crown copyright material is reproduced with the permission of the Controller, Office of Public Sector Information (OPSI). 2 Summary This report provides a new information base on seaside towns in Wales. It presents a range of statistical evidence on socio-economic conditions and compares the figures with averages for Wales as a whole. The report is directly comparable to two recently completed studies for seaside towns in England and, where possible, makes comparisons between seaside towns in Wales and those in England. The report is the first of two outputs from new research funded by Visit Wales. The second output, anticipated shortly, is the inclusion of Welsh seaside towns alongside their English counterparts in a study measuring the scale, location and trends in the seaside tourist industry. The report focuses on ‘seaside towns’ or ‘resorts’ – that is, places where seaside tourism is an important part of the local economy – rather than on all places along the coast.

  • Snowdonia & the Llŷn
    © Lonely Planet Publications Pty Ltd SNOWDONIA & THE LLŶN 3 PERFECT DAYS DAY 1 // CONQUER THE MOUNTAIN Check the weather forecast before making an assault on Snowdon (p226). If you’re fit, catch the Snowdon Sherpa bus to Pen-y-Pass and take the Pyg Track (p227). Time your descent via the Rhyd Ddu Path to catch the Welsh Highland Railway (p244) back to Caernarfon. If you’re not up for climbing, head to Llanberis and take the Snowdon Mountain Railway (p227). You’ll be up and down the mountain in 2½ hours, leaving plenty of time to check out the National Slate Museum (p230) and Dolbadarn Castle (p231) before stocking up on mead at Snowdon Honey Farm (p231). Head to Caer- narfon and watch the sunset over the Menai Strait from beside the city walls before dining at the Black Boy Inn (p235). DAY 2 // BE A PILGRIM Spend the morning exploring Caernarfon Castle (p233) before heading for the Llŷ n Peninsula. Ideally you’ll have prebooked a boat to Bardsey but if they’re not running, make do with gazing at the island from Braich-y-Pwll (p239). Abersoch (p241), Cric- cieth (p243) and Porthmadog (p244) are good places to stop for the night, but Harlech (p218) has the best restaurants – along with another World Heritage castle. DAY 3 // A SCENIC OVERLOAD Wherever you ended up, take the scenic A498 through the Pass of Aberglaslyn and back into the national park. Spend the day pottering along the route between Beddge- lert (p228) and Betws-y-Coed (p222), stopping at the lakes, lookouts and falls.

    Second homes: Developing new policies in Wales Author: Dr Simon Brooks Second homes: Developing new policies in Wales Audience Welsh Government departments; public bodies in Wales; community councils; third sector organisations in Wales; private sector companies in Wales; organisations working with communities; and other interested parties. Overview This report was initiated following the award of a small grant by the Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol to Dr Simon Brooks, Associate Professor in the School of Management at Swansea University, to scrutinise policy on second homes in Wales and Cornwall. The original aim was to prepare a brief report focussing on the comparison between public policy solutions based on taxation policy (Wales) and planning policy (Cornwall). However, due to the increasing interest in this subject area, the Welsh Government’s Minister for Mental Health, Well-being and Welsh Language asked if the research could be expanded in order to scrutinise some wider issues regarding second homes and to make policy recommendations.
