Description of a circular walk near Bull Bay, on the north coast of Anglesey.

Car park to ruined windmill

Turn left out of the car park, then right shortly, up a driveway.

Turn left onto a path and you will come to a kissing gate into a field. Bear left to a stile just beyond the field gate, then right up the drive towards ‘Tŷ Gwyn’. Turn left over the field to ‘Glasfryn’.

Cross the lane down to the field, follow the stone wall.

Then bear left over the hill to the kissing gate. The windmill is well in view. Go down the dip across the stream and up the hill in between the two stone walls. At the top you will find yourself very close to the farmyard and windmill.

Go through the farm gate on your right.

Ruined windmill to Porth Wen

Go through the next farm gate on your left, passing in front of ‘Pant-Y-Gaseg’ farm and then go through the gates on the left side of the house.

Follow the track down the hill, through the farm gate, up the hill through the gorse and over the stile. Keep to the right of the next field and at the track turn left.

Turn right at the junction. Go past ‘Porth Wen’ house, then just before ‘Castell’ farm bear right through the farm gates and two sets of gateposts onto the Coastal Path.

Porth Wen to car park

Follow the coastal path around the eastern cliffs of ‘Porth Wen’.

The path is well-defined which enables you to study the amazing cliff formations, the twists in the underlying rock and the steep-sided inlets. You will pass through a couple of kissing gates and will eventually come to a way marker after ‘Ogof Pwll y Delysg’.

Then bear right towards the ‘Bull Bay Hotel’. Pass next to the hotel, turn right and you will see the car park ahead.
