The route
Coast path south-west from Llangrannog over Ynys Lochtyn and on to Penbryn beach. Retrace your steps or by lanes.
Worth knowing
- Penbryn is a National Trust beach reached down a wooded lane and is far quieter than Llangrannog.
- Constant climbing and descending; the total ascent is much more than the distance suggests.
- Dolphins and seals along the whole stretch.
What you’ll see
Cliffs and coves, both beaches, seals below, and dolphins offshore.
Background
