A great walk to do if you're in Aberdaron is around the headland of the Llŷn Peninsula, up to the top of Mynydd Mawr. You can see all the way over to the Wicklow mountains of Ireland on a fine day. There's also a great view of Bardsey Island and all the way down the Llŷn Peninsula to the Rivals.

You can do the whole circuit, though it can be up to eight miles long and might take you a few hours. You can always take some shortcuts down a few country lanes though!

You basically start in Aberdaron, and follow the coast round to the south west. First you'll come to Porth Meudwy, where the boats go over to Bardsey. Then carry on along the coast, though you must cut the corner by Pen y Cil due to a recent landslip there.

Head back along the coast and eventually you'll come to St Mary's Well, a rockfall which local legend has it was visited by St Mary. It's a quite unusual well because it fills with fresh water from an underground spring, despite being under sea level at high tide. You should only go down to see it up close at low tide though. However, you'll be up on the cliffs, away from the surf for the majority of this walk.

Then you can head up to Mynydd Mawr and past an old coastguard station up on the top - there's a really nice view down to Bardsey Island from there. Then head north up to Mynydd Anelog, the highest hill round here.

You could then carry on as far as Porth Oer, or Whistling Sands as it's also known - a lovely little beach. Finally, head down the lanes back to Aberdaron.

I don't do half as much walking as I should, but I do take the dog out for walks every day. I originally come from the West Midlands and then Oswestry, so it's great to live here and see the sea out of my window every day - it's a lovely place to live.
