Llanbedrog to the Warren - Wales Coast Path Circular Walk

This is a 4 mile circular walk with a leg to the beach at Abersoch. It passes through woodland, open limestone moor, a sandy beach and some quiet lanes. It takes in a church, an art gallery and some fine statues. Start by parking your car at the National Trust car park in Llanbedrog, visit the nearby St Peter’s church and then enter the grounds of Plas Glyn y Weddw which has a grade 1 art gallery, a good bookshop and a wonderful cafe. Walk past the new outdoor theatre and follow the Quarryman’s Trail sign which will lead you through the Winllan Woods and on to the Iron Man Statue.
