Start at the coastal village of Trearddur, known for an early Celtic female named Saint Ffraid (St Bridget in English), its wonderful beaches, its fine houses and famously unique sailing boats. As we tour the village we'll learn who lived there over years and I'll share what I know about its heritage and culture. You will hear stories of saints and sailors, and the village's role during World War II.
Leaving Trearddur we will appreciate the rugged Holy Island coastline, following part of the Coastal Path as it hugs the cliffs of the tempestuous Irish Sea as we head towards the hamlet of Rhoscolyn. Breathtaking views of Snowdonia and the Llyn Pennisula, superb geology along the route and a Holy Well whose waters are reputed to sooth the mind. We will visit the gothic style Church of Saint Gwenfaen, an early Celtic female saint with a tragic tale.
On this Trail, you will be accompanied by a local Welsh-speaking guide who will give meaning to the names of places we meet along the way.
