Wales Coast Path Circular Walks Gwynedd – Aberdaron

The Wales Coast Path is a wonderful linear walk, but we often want circular day walks. Cyngor Gwynedd are developing a number of circular walks along the Wales Coast path, with this circular route from Aberdaron being one of the first in place.

This walk covers all the diversity of Llŷn and its Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. You will discover the peninsula’s coastal paths – both north and south, embark on a gradual climb along the slopes of Mynydd Anelog which offers fantastic panoramic views, before returning through agricultural farmland and along the small valley of Afon Daron.

You can visit the Gwynedd Wales Coast Path Circular Walk homepage, or download the route leaflet directly here.
