Yr Eifl and Nant Gwrtheyrn

 We are in Rhyd this week, and the fantastic  weather continues in North Wales. Today we climbed the highest point on the Llyn Peninsula, Yr Eifl.. At 564 metres, this is a challenging, but  not too strenuous climb -just a little scrambling and boulder hopping near the top. The views back to the Snowdonia mountains are stunning, and on a really good day (there was a slight haze today) you can see the Wicklow mountains in Ireland and the Isle of Man. 

We then walked down to Nant Gwrtheyrn - this is a heritage centre site  below Yr Eifl, where the historic mining village of Port Nant has been restored and is now used as a conference and visitor centre - it is in a  stunning location on the Llyn Peninsula north coast and well worth a visit.
