Holibobs in Wales, Part Deux.
Wednesday's walk wasn't the longest, but it was probably the most dramatic in terms of scenery.
We got the bus from Tregwynt Mill to the tiny village of Abercastle, and walked back to the cottage along the coast path. It was mostly fairly level, apart from the dip down to the beach at Pwllstrodur.
The bus driver was new and seemed quite nervous. As were we by the time we got to Abercastle. We were quite glad to debark and take to Shanks' Pony instead.
The start of the path in Abercastle.
The rather overenthusiastically named "harbour" at Abercastle :)
A short way along the path, it runs beside a ruined building
A view through on of the windows of the coast path in the opposite direction
The cliffs in the direction of AberMawr - the inlet on the right of the picture is Pwllstrodur beach, the only significant slopes of the walk (down to the beach and back up again on the other side)
Waterfall just above Pwllstrodur.
Pwllstrodur beach. We had our lunch here. Rob pointed out how special it was, because you can only get to this beach by walking (or, I suppose, on horseback, possibly).
Waterfall at the top of the beach
The climb up to the top of the cliffs again wasn't as bad as I'd feared, which was heartening - and a little way along the path at the top were these pretty blue flowers.
View back toward Abercastle
A shot to show the variety of flowers growing on the cliffs.
AberMawr beach on the right, Aber Bach beach on the left. Our holiday cottage is just visible on the bit of land between them.
Aber Mawr beach.
Thursday and Friday were incredibly windy and involved very little walking as all the stuff on the Coast Path advises Being Very Careful in windy weather - I'd probably be alright, but Rob is lighter and might well do a Mary Poppins if he wasn't lucky!
So just a couple of photos from those days :- the waves at aber Mawr
And the photographer at sunset.
Not a bad holiday, but not as nice as the ones we've had on Mull, I think - less wildlife for one thing.
