A self-guided walking holiday around the Llŷn Peninsula along the Wales Coast Path.
From £740 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 £1345 per person
Our complete Llŷn Coast Path walking holiday journeys 111 miles around the spectacular Llŷn Peninsula from Bangor to Porthmadog. The trail follows in the footsteps of ancient pilgrims on the trek out to Bardsey Island as it skirts around the shoreline of the peninsula on winding trails through wild and remote scenery.
This quiet corner of Wales features ancient woodlands, rugged clifftops and sandy beaches, as well as several intriguing historic sites and plenty of wonderful towns and villages, all surrounded by fantastic views, making this section of the Wales Coast Path a truly memorable walking adventure.

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:
Due to the high costs incurred by booking a Solo Traveller on this trail, we can only provide prices on application. Please contact us for further details.
You can add rest days at any of the overnight stops:
Visiting proud Caernarfon Castle and its more battle-worn counterpart, Criccieth Castle.
Walking into the lime-washed fishing village of Aberdaron, where pilgrims once rested before crossing the treacherous waters of the Bardse Sound to the Isle of 20,000 Saints.
Seeking out St Mary’s Well, which is covered twice daily by the sea but emerges, brimming with crystal clear water, from the ebbing tide.
You can add rest days at any of the overnight stops:

“Amazing landscapes, perfect weather, well organised support by Contours.”Mrs Tillotson, UK
“Fabulous trip with excellent scenery, well waymarked.”Mr Anderson, UK
“It is a beautiful and interesting walk. We have done multiple walks with Contours and have never had a hitch.”Mrs Sutherland, USA
“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.”Mr Madge, UK
“In spite of the weather the holiday went well and on the days when the sun shone, it was a joy appreciating the magnificent scenery.”Mr Whitehorn, UK
“The scenery and the accommodations were first class. No negative comments to raise here.”Mr Gunn, UK
“Fantastic views. Moderately difficult walk. Bags always arrived on time. Already planning the next trip.”Mr Harmey, UK
“Another great hike organised by you all at Contours!”Mr Darwen, UK
“A superb peninsular walk with a wide variety of stunning scenery, in a quiet area that still feels a bit off the beaten track. Reminded me a lot of Cornwall, but not nearly as "touristy". The route has a lovely mix of cliffs, beaches, hills and marshland. All the accommodation was excellent (as it usually is!). Lots of wildlife, including quite a few seals in the sheltered bays.”Mr Julyan, UK
