Visit to Wales: Porthdinllaen Headland

On our visit to North Wales last month we stayed in a National Trust holiday cottage at Porthdinllaen which is a tiny beachside village/hamlet on a headland on the north side of the Llyn peninsular. Most of the headland is a golf course but there are paths around it which make for some interesting walks and wonderful views. We were lucky with the weather – our few days here missed the rain but there were very strong winds. Here is a selection from our short stay:

If you like this type of scenery then this could be a worthwhile visit – weather permitting…
