Freshwater West to Angle – Wales Coast Path
This section of the coastal path was one of the first section we completed, and now I look back it was a while ago in May 2017. But it hasn’t gone anywhere, it’s still there and remains a great walk. There’s a particular kind of hush that falls over Freshwater West the moment you step…

The Hidden Tombs of Morfa Bychan
Auntie was away for a week with her girls and I was left unsupervised for a week. So I kidnapped Wilf the Dog and we set off in the motorhome for a couple of days to Pendine. It has a fantastic beach where Wilf can run his legs off, which he did. I hadn’t planned…

Castles & Coalmines
Laugharne to Amroth Late September day in 2019, just a few months before the whole world was turned upside down by the COVID-19 Pandemic, we completed the next section of the Wales Coast Path starting in Laugharne. There are places that feel less like destinations and more like pauses in time—little pockets where history, landscape…

Llansteffan to Black Scar
It is always a pleasure walking along the Wales Coast Path, each turn of the path brings something new, often unexpected. It is also fantastic for my little brain to be outside and not sat next to a computer. Though this last statement is more relevant to the time we walked this section, as now…

Shipwreck Sands – Burry Port to Kidwelly
My goodness, it’s been almost 4 years since Auntie and I last strolled along this beautiful stretch of the coastal path. So much has changed since then – both in our lives and in the lives of others. Retirement came for me last August after 44 years of nursing, and I finally have the opportunity…

St Trillo’s Well
Not only does Wales boast the smallest city on the UK, St David’s; or the smallest cathedral, St Asaph’s, but we also have arguably the smallest chapel – St Trillo. And when we say small, think tiny. Sitting almost in the sea protected only by the concrete sea defences to the north and tucked into…

Porth Neigwl – Hell’s Mouth
It’s taken me a while to get around to finishing this post. Aunty and I walked along this stretch of the coast on a cold and windy April day as soon as we could get away after the lifting of the COVID lockdown restrictions at the start of 2021. And it is now almost the…

St Tudwal’s Lighthouse
On one of pair of small islands laying just off the southern tip of the Lleyn near Abersoch you can find the neat and small St Tudwal Lighthouse. The light was erected in 1877 to mark and protect shipping at the northern end of Cardigan Bay. By lighthouse standard sit’s not that tall at 10.7m…

Abersoch to Pwllheli
Hmmm….. i’m afraid I’m going to have to start this blog or a slightly negative note. I fully understand that most people would not agree with me, but this is my blog and as writer, editor and publisher (makes me sound like a megalomaniac) I retain the right to be irrational. I don’t like Abersoch.…

Criccieth to Pwllheli – Castles, sand and sea
Easter weekend 2021 – lockdown in Wales has finished and Auntie’s gamble with booking the holiday paid off. We are now allowed to travel further than ‘local’ distances, within Wales at least, though no-one can yet travel across borders in the UK, except for essential travel. After a week of warm weather the forecast for…
