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 £675 per person
This twining route along the southern shore of the Llyn Peninsula weaves together long sweeps of dunes with forays inland, sampling oak woodland, heath and granite crags, and narrow footpaths across the headland.
Between the active harbours, the metal frame of the Tin Man statue, the Georgian manor houses and the remains of manganese mines, this corner of Wales - and this leg of the famous Wales Coast Path - is full of local art and history.
In short, the southern half of the Llyn Coast Path is a scenic, deeply engaging walk with something new to discover at every turn.

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:
