After an amazing evening at Porth Iago we headed back along the Northern coast of the Llyn peninsula. Morfa Nefyn was our first stop where we did a walk along the beach and round the headland at Porth Dinllean. We didn’t expect to find a golf course on the headland nor the seals basking in the sun on the rocks just offshore.
We couldn’t go to Wales and not visit a slate attraction so our next stop was the Inigio Jones slate museum. This was actually a really interesting self guided tour around a slate works that has been established since 1861 when they produced slates to write on in school.
Anglesey was next on our list and we decided to try staying somewhere a little different. It was our first time using Wild With Consent which negotiates access with landowners to allow camping vans to stay in more remote areas. We weren’t too adventurous for our first location which was in a field of a small holding just outside Amlwch. It wasn’t too hard to negotiate the 3 gates and the grass track and the camping spot was lovely. The owners provided a fire pit which was relaxing and meant Illya could cook the steaks he bought from the local farm shop. The local cows were very curious and kept peering over the fence.
We learned from the landowner that Anglesey is famous for its unusual geology and copper mines. The coastal path at Camaes Bay gave us great views of the tectonic mélange (mix of rocks!). And Parys mountain was a great self guided tour around the disused copper mines.
Sadly this is the end of this trip but we loved being back in Wales and will return.
