Walking the final stretch of the Isle of Anglesey, this stage is 80 miles and includes the famous Welsh village of Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch and the RAF Valley airfield.
Crossing back into Wales across the Menai Bridge, the Walk continues along the Coast to Caernafon with its famous Castle. This stretch passes around the rocky promontory of Porth Dinllaen from where you can admire views to the east and west along the Llŷn Peninsula’s northern coast. Here, you have a good chance of seeing seals close to shore. As you walk toward Aberdaron you will see Bardsey Island, once a destination for pilgrims. According to legend, three visits to Bardsey was equivalent to one visit to Rome. As covered on the BBC programme, Coast, the sands at Porth Oer (Whistling Sands) often ‘whistle’ when you walk on them!
This stage will be walked by Mark Horwood and his team.
