About the trail

The Llŷn Coast Path explores one of the most remote and beautiful corners of Wales: the Llŷn Peninsula. It’s an ancient landscape of tiny hedge-lined fields and gnarled oak woodlands, surrounded by a coastline of rugged cliffs, isolated coves and wide, sandy bays.

The path connects the many ancient sites once visited by pilgrims on their way out to Ynys Enlli, or Bardsey Island, at the very tip of the peninsula, including abbey ruins and outstanding churches. This rich history is rivalled only by the trail’s complete tranquillity, as well as breath-taking views from Yr Eifl back along the entirety of the peninsula from coast to coast. A spiritual leg of the Wales Coast Path.

We offer multiple holiday options along this trail. If you wish to experience the entire trail, simply select the first option from the list below.

Customer reviews from the Llyn Coast Path

“An amazing holiday on the Llyn Peninsula, we had great weather, great scenery and views, great accommodation and all expertly organised, as ever, by Contours! A wonderful and varied coastal walk! And we already have some booked for the rest of this year!”
Mrs Parker, UK
“Another great hike thanks to Contours Walking Holidays. A very arduous and challenging holiday in a remote section of Wales. Would definitely book another holiday with Contours.”
Mr Kuhns, USA
“Fantastic views. Moderately difficult walk. Bags always arrived on time. Already planning the next trip.”
Mr Harmey, UK
“This was a fantastic walk across stunning scenery of long, deserted beaches, interesting little coves, major castles and historic towns. I loved it! Really enjoyed exploring an area I hadn't been to before. Everything worked perfectly and the weather held out as well! It was a great holiday in a fantastic part of the world which is well worth exploring and has not yet become as busy as many other coastal areas such as the SWCP. Booked quite a few so far so will probably book another one... or two maybe next year.”

“Another very successful holiday - thank you. I always enjoy my Contours holidays. I often tell others how satisfied I am with your holidays.”
