Mynydd Mawr

Our first full day and a trip to the far end of the peninsula and Mynydd Mawr. A glorious day with a glorious walk! Gorgeous coastline with Choughs and cracking views....and the rare Golden Hair-lichen. 

Ynys Enlli / Bardsey Island ...

..and zooming in to the lighthouse - the tallest square tower lighthouse in the UK. 

Looking east along the south side of the Lleyn.

Nice lichen-covered cliffs and rocks. 

and a close up...

And then the bright unmistakeable yellow /orange of the Golden Hair-lichen Teloschtes flavicans.

Bardsey again.

From Trwyn Maen Melyn looking east.

Chough.

And then in the evening back to Traeth Penllech, for a walk on the beach ...
