Gyrn Goch to Porthdinllaen

A big day on the Llŷn: over the headland to Nant Gwrtheyrn's hidden valley, on through Pistyll and Nefyn to Porthdinllaen.

Carrying on down the Llŷn from where I left off at Gyrn Goch, you run down to the beach at Trefor, round the headland and up over Garn Ganol, then drop down the far side to Nant Gwrtheyrn, a former quarry village that's now the Welsh language heritage centre.

The path follows the coast to Pistyll, heads slightly inland and drops to Nefyn, then runs along the beach and round the headland to Porthdinllaen and the Ty Coch Inn. Nearly fifteen miles, so it's a big one.
