LLŶN PENINSULA

Cae’r Odyn is situated near to the north facing coastline of the Llŷn Peninsula. The villages of Nefyn and Morfa Nefyn (Porthdinllaen) are nearby and the market town of Pwllheli is some 6 miles away. Llŷn is designated an ‘Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty’ on the strength of its exceptional coastline of coves, headlands and beaches that are rich in wildlife.

You can travel around the Llŷn freely by car to visit a number of nearby towns and villages. To reach some of the more bespoke rural communities and some fabulous beaches, you will need to navigate your way through narrow country lanes and possibly farm tracks and footpaths.

Many of the local landmarks can be reached via the Llŷn Coastal Path, which is a 10-15 walk from the park.

Public transport is limited to buses and there is a bus stop near to the site in the village of Edern. There are regular buses running west to the villages of Tudweiliog and Aberdaron and east to Morfa Nefyn, Nefyn and Pwllheli.

There is also the Llŷn Coastal Bus that provides journeys throughout the Llŷn at attractive rates.

Local Beaches

Llŷn is home to some of the finest beaches Wales has to offer. Within a short distance of our park, you'll discover quite a few of them. Porth Towyn (Tudweiliog), is a firm favourite along with Nefyn. A little further away, is Porthor (Whistling Sands) where it is believed that as you walk along the golden sandy beach, you hear the sand whistle beneath your feet.

However, the most popular, and probably best known of them all is Porthdinllaen (Morfa Nefyn). It is here that you will discover the Tŷ Coch Inn which was recently voted amongst the Top 3 beach bars in the world.

Llŷn Coastal Path

The Llŷn Coastal Path forms part of the All Wales Coastal path. It stretches from the Afon Dwyfor near Criccieth along a 40 mile stretch of rugged coastline to the beach of Aberdesach. It takes you to some of the more bespoke coves and beaches which can only be accessed on foot. It truly is an experience the whole family will enjoy.

The path also links to rural footpaths which takes you to some fabulous locations. Take a walk up to the highest peak of Llŷn, Garnfadryn, where you will experience a full 360 view across the whole of the Peninsula together and take in the Eryri (Snowdonia) mountains. On a clear day, you will also be able to see the Wicklow mountains of Ireland.
