 WALKING on the LLEYN PENINSULA

 

The Lleyn Peninsula Coastal Path, Jon Cantrell - The western coastline of England and Wales has three peninsulas pushing out into the sea. The Cornish and Pembroke peninsulas have famous coastal paths, but while the Lleyn cannot match the sheer scale of its big brothers, it has no trouble competing when it comes to grandeur of scenery. For hundreds of years pilgrims have walked this coast to reach the holy island of Bardsey at the tip of the peninsula. The route connects the historic pilgrim sites dating back to the 6th century. In doing so its 90 miles cross a variety of landscapes from rocky cliffs to secluded bays. The route is suitable for cyclists, particularly those riding mountain bikes. Details of cycle routes are included. Each chapter of the guide ends with two or three shorter or circular walks which provide a taste of the different sections of the Lleyn. Published June 06.
