This was the first time since our holiday we had driven to Anglesey on a day trip to walk some more Wales Coast path. A very early start had us parked up in the car park at Cemaes Bay at around 8.15am. Once we arrived to catch a bus, I looked on google maps, and it was saying the bus was due in 3 minutes, we made a dash for the bus stop on the High Street, just as we got there the bus was approaching. That was a stroke of luck I thought, as google maps say the busses were only once an hour. We were much luckier than I had anticipated as after a conversation with the bus driver, he explained that there were only three busses running that day, and that they were all early. We departed the bus at Amlwch recreational grounds (Opposite the Co-Op) and made the short walk to Port Amlwch where we once again picked up the trail. Heading away from the Port, up through a park and then some fields until we once again reached the coast, there were a few small rocky outcrops and a small hill to walk up on the way to Bull Bay. Just before Bull bay after a stunning walk along the coastline the path lead us up onto a road and we had a short walk along the main road to the beautiful village of Porth Llechog (Bull Bay). Then the path gets more rugged again, it was not long before we reached Porth Wen, a large bay we had to head around and passing the site of the old Porth Wen Brickworks, we had to make time for a quick explore. (Unfortunately my camera played up here and I did not realise until I got home, tso there is some wobbly footage) Then up and the coast path was unforgiving, firstly in parts it was like we walking on a ledge, then the big hills came, two large dips down to the sea level and back up again. A lovely beach was found at the old China Works, and we eventually made it to Cemaes, just before the end the gopro batteries and chargers all dies so I had to film the last bit of the walk on the phone. It was the most tiring section we had walked of the coast path to date, the ice creams were very welcome at Cemaes Bay. Then for the drive home. We spotted dolphins for the first time along the way and a seal. The views were amazing and we loved every minute of this walk even though on tired legs.

Starting at the bottom of Quay Street facing the end of the harbour, at ///universes.flagging.upholding face the harbour and there are three paths in front of you, take the path to your left, DO NOT go up the steps, but continue along the path although it looks like an access path to a brick shed building. As you approach the building you see the path heads around to the right, pass the building and just before the path comes to an end at the edge of the harbour, take the path leading away to your left. ///comply.backtrack.owned This dirt track heads up and turns right across a small bridge and then left again and up to a road/track ///tumblers.invested.tramps Turn left, A couple of Meters and the road bends left, turn right onto the car park and then the grass at the far end. Head straight, keeping left at the park and to the left of the parks equipment until you see a gate near ///senders.boot.thrillers at the far end, pass through the gate and turn left. Follow the stream (We could not see but hear water flowing) until it leads out to a gate onto another road. ///giant.materials.wriggle At the junction go right, and follow this lane that looks like its heading to an abandoned factory, a few meters along turn left onto an open green space. ///badly.ironclad.deflection you immediately cross an old railway track remains, keep to the main path through here which leads out onto a dirt track ///professed.garages.shared Turn right and follow the track. Keep straight on this dirt track which eventually turns to a dirt path and leads you to the coast. here the path turns left and follows the coast. ///somewhere.deflation.pelt Keeping near the coast the path takes a sharp left turn ///wiggles.dose.enough then shortly after the creek turn right heading towards a rocky outcrop. Keep to the path, a dirt track and rocky outcrops keeping close to the coast and eventually you arrive at some steps leading down to a creek. ///employers.regulates.crush Pass the steps and take the path nearside the coast once again (If you walked up the steps turn right at the top) The path follows the rocky coastline for a while and then heads inland following a small creek, the path then continues away from the coastline and leads up away from the sea. ///flickers.marble.robes It heads up and higher back close to the sea again, continue on this path until it leads to a gate onto the main road. ///trifle.reclining.fewest Turn right onto Bull Bay Road. Follow the pavement passing a small parking area with a telescope, a nice little rest stop looking out to the bay. Continue along the road which follows the coast for a while, taking your first right towards the little beach, just after the Bull Bay sign ///meatball.appetite.bedroom Continue along this minor road to the little beach at Bull Bay. At the beach the road bends round to the left, continue straight at the bend (Toilets are just around that bend though) and take the first path immediately after the beach on your right hand side. ///attending.snowy.wool Follow this path around as it heads away from the beach and up onto a small road. ///clusters.snacking.revived Turn right here, At the end of the road look for the path to the left heading towards the sea. ///gone.shuffle.crouches Take the dirt track that heads up slightly and follows the coasts edge again. ///atlas.monorail.evenings This is straightforward a case of keeping to the path closest to the edges for a while, heading slightly in to avoid the crevasse ///splits.decompose.losing eventually the path turns left as you arrive at a large bay ///puppy.magazine.vaulting at Porth Wen, follow the path around the bay, eventually the dirt/grassy paths lead to a track, head right along the track ///happen.cowering.jazz Bear straight at a junction along the track ///drain.boat.parked heading towards a house. Pass the house, so the house is on your right hand side and head for a gate a few Meters past the house. ///grub.responses.skipped which leads onto a field.

Keep to this path near the edges of the rocky coastline, taking care at the small rocky outcrops. You will eventually arrive at some steps heading down. A lot of steps. ///done.mainly.groups Down the steps and then up again ///factoring.brightens.opera The path splits at the top, take a right ///incoming.hobbyists.coasting and keep to the path passing a couple of small rocky outcrops along the way until you reach the small tower remains. ///tycoons.sped.archduke Keep to the path passing the remains of the Coronation Tower of King Edward VII. this path eventually after a small rocky outcrop takes a sharp downward turn. ///aboard.courier.tightrope Take care as the path heads down steeply, zig zagging down to the beach. Passing the old Porcelain works and beach to your right, continue ahead to the concrete steps. ///perky.recorders.fussed Up again, the concrete steps turn to dirt path steps, continue up finding the trodden path that eventually leads to more steps. ///dock.contoured.expose Continue along the path which eventually leads to another smaller staircase. ///shaky.grant.perusing keeping to the path that stays near the coastline once again for a while. Eventually passing Eglwys Llanbadrig Church ///highways.shipwreck.rockets Just after the church you have the choice, to turn left (A shortcut) or to follow the headland out and around. Both paths meet back up at the small car park next to the entrance to the Church. ///uncle.hypocrite.sunk here follow the lane heading away from the Church (Which is situated at the end of the lane) This heads down, a short walk down and take the path on your right leading away from the lane. ///thud.partied.ember Follow this towards the sea, and at a T Junction in the path turn left. ///eggplants.author.museum This path runs around the top of the cliff along the coast, passing a couple of beaches below.
