Wales Coastal Path

And now for something completely different.

I just found out this morning that this weekend sees the official opening of the Wales Coastal Path. This means that it’s now possible – if you have the time, the energy and sensible shoes – to walk the entire length of the Welsh coast. There’s a nice article here that picks out five particularly interesting stretches. One,  around the Llyn Peninsula, is of particular interest to me because it includes this picture of ancient church of Saint Hywyn, which is  almost on the beach in Aberdaron. The great Welsh poet R.S. Thomas was vicar here for a number of years.

Anyway, here’s a promotional video about the Wales Coastal Path, which gives an idea of some of the stunning views at various points around this beautiful country.
