Introduction
Not only does Pen Llŷn boast a network of paths along a coast that
takes in mountains, cliffs, coastal farmland and beaches, it also has
a richness of winding lanes. Many of these lanes and footpaths that
criss-cross the peninsular are bordered by cloddiau (hedgebanks),
on which grow beautiful communities of flowers, ferns, mosses and
lichens. The labyrinthine lanes are best explored by bike or on foot.
Walking is not only good for the soul, but also increases your
chances of experiencing a myriad of diverse wildlife along the way.
These walking routes are guides only - do feel free to deviate from
them and devise your own adventures. Nevertheless we hope they
will give you a taste of this beautiful area and a glimpse into the
lives of those pilgrims, saints, farmers and fishermen in whose
footsteps you will be treading.
