Traeth Bach, Portmeirion The Observatory Tower and Traeth Bach, Portmeirion For such a small island, Bardsey has a colourful history largely as a place of pilgrimage since the early years of Christianity – it’s often called the “island of 20,000 saints” owing to its popularity for visiting pilgrims.Today the remains of the thirteenth century Augustinian Abbey of St. Mary can be seen on the island. If you want to relax on a beach in Wales soaking in the view of a castle, this pretty resort is the place to do it. Both East and west beaches are a mixture of sand and pebbles – the lower the tide, the more the sand you’ll find. The ice cream from Cadwalader’s, just below the castle, tops it off perfectly. The route starts at Caernarfon at the impressive Caernarfon Castle, and heads south through the town, crossing the River Seiont on the way. You continue to Llanwnda and Groeslon where you pass the lovely Glynllifon Country Park. It's well worth taking a short detour from the path and visiting the park with its woodland, gardens, parkland and river. There is also a cafe, a maze and exhibits such as steam power pistons restored by Fred Dibnah.
