Porth Amlwch - Porth Eilian

We did this walk on Bank Holiday Monday, 30 May 2006. The weather was not ideal. The forecast had suggested some showers but there was a hint that the north coast could be clearer. It began to drizzle as we arrived at Porth Amlwch and it continued all the way, although it was mild.

The walk took us from Porth Amlwch to Porth Eilian along the coastal footpath, then back inland - more or less Rogers Volume 2 Walk 5 in reverse.

This was a fairly gentle walk. The drizzle didn't help comfort or visibility; as we approached Point Lynas its foghorn grew louder.

On the beach at Porth Eilian there is a small cave, just big enough to shelter from the rain and eat our picnic. Public toilets just above the beach were open and very clean.

There's a lot to see at Porth Amlwch. We had thought we might, at the end of the walk, call at the Amlwch Heritage Centre for a coffee and cake, but we were a little too damp by then. This will wait for another day.
