Arrive at Bryn Eisteddfod between 16.00 and 18.30 the previous night. Meet up at 19.00 to have an informal chat before the evening meal.

We arrive in Aberdaron for lunch. There is a choice of eating places including the Gegin Fawr, the last stop for pilgrims before attempting to cross the sound to Bardsey Island (Ynys Enlli in Welsh). Free time to explore the church of St. Hywyn or wander on the beach before we leave for Mynydd Mawr with spectacular views across to Bardsey Island and back up the peninsula to the Rivals. On a very clear day it is possible to see the Wicklow mountains in Ireland.

Travelling to our last stop of the day we follow the Southern pilgrim route to Llanbedrog. Here there is time to view the church, visit the art gallery at Oriel Plas Glyn-y-Weddw, take tea in the café or beautiful gardens or walk down the wooded approach to the beach. We arrive back at Bryn Eisteddfod around 18.00 to meet up before the evening meal.

Free time then to relax for the evening !

Day 2 After another splendid Bryn Eisteddfod breakfast we leave for Caernarfon Castle at 9.30. The guided tour of the castle will last for an hour and there is time allowed to visit the Royal Welch Fusiliers museum and castle shop before leaving at 12noon for Beaumaris on Anglesey.

Free time to have lunch at one of the many cafés, stroll on the pier, with spectacular views of Snowdonia, or visit the old courthouse or jail. The 45 minute guided tour of Beaumaris Castle starts at 14.30, after which we leave for Penmon to explore the church, monastic buildings, St. Seriol’s well and ancient dovecote.

Refreshments are usually available at Blackpoint with views of the Menai Straits, Puffin Island and working lighthouse. At 17.00 we leave Penmon, arriving back at Bryn Eisteddfod around 18.00 again allowing time to meet up informally in the bar before the evening meal.
