Setting off from Valley station, we crossed the Stanley Embankment along the A5. A spring tide was flowing into the Inland Sea - and how! We've seen this in the other direction in an earlier post , but this was as if a huge plughole had been opened in an otherwise flat and extensive sea. The picture doesn't quite do justice to the 2m fall visible in the sea just below us.
Penrhos Coastal Park was busy enough, then once past the viewpoint at Gorsedd-y-Penrhyn the walk was quieter.
The path passes 'The Battery' a structure which looks as though it might have housed cannon overlooking the bay, but about which there's not much written that we have been able to find.
Arriving at the port, we crossed the Celtic Gateway Bridge to the town before returning to the station for the return trip.
Access by train is the advantage, but on the whole we have to say this is not one of the most scenic stretches of the path.
