A self-guided walking holiday around the Llŷn Peninsula along the Wales Coast Path.
From £675 per person
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.
From £735 per person
Follow an engaging mixture of high and low paths with views over the ocean and the mountains of Snowdonia, on a walk along the North Section of the Llyn Coast Path.
The walk begins on the flat shore of the Menai Strait, presided over by the Iron Age hill fort of Dinas Dinlle, and hits its hilliest section beyond Clynnog Fawr. It turns wild past Porth Colmon, traversing the Whistling Sands of Porthor and touring the ‘Land’s End of Wales’ at Braich y Pwll headland.
This half of the Llyn Coast Path may take more climbing to complete than the South Section, but that makes it all the more scenic.

This itinerary lists our preferred overnight stops for this tour. Sometimes there may be a shortage of available accommodation in a preferred location, in which case we will transfer you from the trail to your accommodation and back again at no extra charge. Overnight stops marked with a (T) will always require transfers as standard.
Overnight stops marked with an (L) have very limited accommodation, and therefore more often than not will also require a transfer, particularly on bank holidays and weekends. We will use non-transfer accommodation wherever possible.
The daily mileages quoted are average trail miles only and do not include the distance from the trail to your accommodation. We do not expect you to have to travel more than a mile from the trail to your accommodation in most cases; should your accommodation be further than this, transfers will be provided as standard if practical. A very limited number of stops will require you to travel on foot up to two miles off the trail, however these instances will be clearly communicated to you if applicable.
Further transfers may also be required due to some accommodations having a two-night minimum booking policy, especially at weekends.
Below are the additional costs that may apply depending on your requirements. Dog-friendly tours are subject to a Daily Dog Charge, which will be listed below if applicable. Our standard prices per person are based upon two people sharing a room; if you are on your own, or are part of a group but require a room of your own, then the Solo Traveller or Single Supplements apply respectively:
You can add rest days at any of the overnight stops:
Ascending to Bwlch yr Eifl and Yr Eifl, two of the highest points on the Wales Coast Path.
