Porth Dinllaen
« on: October 31, 2006, 19:32:26 »
On Sunday the 29th I took the family for a drive and ended up in Porth Dinllaen near Nefyn on the Lleyn Peninsula.




We saw this grey seal


The water must have been cold

Been there my self, its fab midday in the middle of July and only a dozen or so vehicles there.
Very clean beach and  a credit to the locals.
Only down side it could do with some nice bogs

When I was about 12 or 13 I went camping for a week at Criccieth, we went out one evening for a walk and ended up at this pub on the beach it was fab, finally tracked it down to PorthDinella, been back to the beach but will go to the pub next time.
Can you drive along the beach to it?

Here's a few more pics.









This is on the Morfa Nefyn side of the beach.

Brings back memories. The Crusader camp was above the Nefyn Beach but a little closer to Morpha than Nefyn.

I remember being able to walk along the cliff top to the pub on the beach or you can park in a car park at the entrance to the golf club and walk along their track, which drops down to the buildings on your pictures. I think vehicle access is restricted to residents.

A bit of useless info:

Porth Dinllaen was the original location for the ferry on the London to Dublin rail link. The line only got as far as Porthmadog before the britannia bridge was completed by a competitor and provided a rail link to Hollyhead.

This could have been a much busier place.
