Wales: Cemlyn Bay / Cemaes / Rhoscolyn – 1.+2.8.2023

The tide was in not long ago – you can tell that the water nearly reached our van!

It was so sunny, we just had to go for a little walk around Cemlyn Bay.

We even saw a seal!

Some more impressions of that area.

The village Cemaes is the most northerly village of Wales.

At „The Bell“ we went for a coffee.

We then drove back to Holy Island, to do a walk in Rhoscolyn. We often chose walks from our „Rother“ walking booklet.

The tide was out, people used the beach for playing. On the last photo you can see that access to one of the houses is via the beach!

After walking past a few houses we soon reached the coastal path.

The National Coastwatch is occupied by two people.

The coast is fantastic, with steep cliffs, stacks and little islands, and lots of heather and gorse 🙂

There are two arches: Bwa Gwyn (the white arch) and Bwa Du (the black arch).

We used more than just a couple of 36 shot films 😉 Luckily our cameras are digital !

We missed the turning to finish off the loop walk, so we had to find our way back…

We had a delicious meal at „The White Eagle“, and in return we could spend the night on their carpark. We experienced that in quite a few British pubs 🙂

The tide was in the next morning. Now it’s probably more difficult to access the house. It rained at night – the flooded path made it difficult to get to the loo.

A wedding couple had their photographs taken at the beach 🙂 We then went for a walk in the other direction.

When we passed a holiday park, we saw how they „build“ the big mobile homes.

The Silver Bay seems to be reserved for the holiday park. The little kiosk sells ice cream for dogs! This seems to be common in Wales.

The sky looked threatening …

… so we hurried back along the coast.

It started to drizzle by the time we were back at the van. We then drove north. As is so often the case, we wondered about the peculiarity of the British to park even on narrow roads ! As soon as there are no double yellow lines 😉

The RSPB has a visitor centre at the South Stack.

South Stack played an important role in the second world war. And in the old days a lot of ships shattered all around the island of Anglesey 😦

It was too late to go walking, and it was raining anyway. We parked on the side of the road for the night …

… but first we enjoyed the view 🙂
