A very pleasant walk along the coast from Aberdaron - first inland along the Wales coast footpath which then headed across farmland and then back onto the coast proper. Lots of Choughs, splendid views, warm sunshine and field mushrooms - for tea! St Hywyn's Church is worth a visit too, with its pilgrim connections to Bardsey Island. Click here for more about the church and pilgrimage to Bardsea, where 20,000 saints are supposedly buried and the Britain's first monastery was founded 1500 years ago.

| Aberdaron Church. |

| With this being such a spectacular setting I thought it might have appeared in a film or two - appearently not - just Songs of Praise - several times. |

| Sixth century gravestones, commemorating the priests Senacus and Veracius. |
