We set off early and parked near the castle at Criccieth, Having a little walk to the train station via the main high street. We had a short wait for the train and headed for Pwllheli where after a quick coffee stop we continued on our walk back along the Wales Coast Path. The first leg of the walk after walking around the quay at Pwllheli was to head to the beach via Plas Heli and then a long beach walk to the Penychain Headland, up and around the headland to the old Butlins camp, now Haven and outskirt the camp before heading inland and doing a long road walk, after crossing a few rivers the walk takes us off the main road and through farmland heading back to the coast, reaching the river Dwyfor which leads us back to the coast, then alongside the beach back into Criccieth.
