Aberffraw coastal path walk to the church of St Cwyfan and return. A really nice little walk taking in part of the Welsh coastal path on Anglesey. Starting in Aberffraw at the free public car park, you leave the car park via the hump backed bridge and then follow the coastal path signs, the walk then follows the coastal path to the church of St Cwyfan. From here the walk comes inland on lanes to complete the horseshoe back to the car park in Aberffraw. Great coastal views off the west coast of Anglesey with Snowdonia in the distance to the south. The walk takes you to the old church of St Cwyfan standing on the walled island of Cribinau, a unique place, well worth the visit.

Yr Eifl’s 3 peaks are called The Rivals in English, the last includes the magnificent hill fort Tre’r Ceir.
A stunning walk, with great views and history. Starting at the public car park you follow the obvious track taking in the the first peak on the left affording great views of the sea and coast. (GPX does not include this as unfortunatley it was in my rucksack left at the bottom of this peak!). From there you walk to the main peak Yr Eifl, the last section is a bit of a scramble, but so worth it at the summit. from this peak you walk down and back up to the third peak which houses the famous Tre’r Ceiri Hill Fort – a well preserved hill fort with both walls intact in places and many circular foundations of dwellings. From this peak you walk back to the start. A really worth while walk!

Coed Y Brenin forest North Wales, a nice walk at just under 7 miles on decent forest tracks. There are a lot of mountain bikes on half this route (we did not realise it was a mountain bike center!), bikes aside a really nice walk. Starting at the visitor center car park the fist of half of the walk is along Llyn Eden (River Eden) and it is beautiful, after the river a steep ascent though woods then back on forest tracks for the return leg. There are great views and a lot of bird life, we saw two jays!

Great walk taking in a few miles of the Welsh coastal path. Starting at Hells mouth (Porth Neigwl) and walking around the headlands before cutting back across countryside to Hells mouth (Porth Neigwl). Fairly easy walk although it does have some up and down sections, and can be boggy near the end of the countryside section. Spectacular views of cliffs and beaches and a lot of bird life.

A really nice walk from the village of Penmachno walking around Moel Pen-Y-Bryn mountain. A fairly easy walk as only one steep uphill section, and only just over 7 miles long. The walk starts in the village and has varied terrains from tracks, forest paths, open fields, farm tracks and a bit of lane. It can be a bit boggy in sections so take the right gear. It has great views of the valley, rivers and hills. Unfortunately we chose a very wet day for it, but the weather in this area can be varied, so be prepared!
