Duration: 1 hour 50 minutes

Distance: 3.25 miles / 5.2 km

Start: SH 374 936

End: SH 401 945

Parking: There are plenty of car parks at the start of the walk in Cemaes Bay.

This walk follows the coastal path from Cemaes to Porth Wen Brickworks. There's no car park at the end of this walk, so the best thing to do would be to walk back to the start.

The walk starts by St Patrick's Bell (A) on Cemaes beach, and then you'll walk to the East. If the tide is high, you can walk along the path above the beach.

Walk through the car park and take the first left onto the coastal path. Continue on the coastal path, and as you reach Padrig Bay, walk on the path directly in front of you and you will reach the road. Turn left and walk along the road until you reach Llanbadrig Church (B). After visiting the church, continue east along the coastal path.

As you walk along this stretch, look out to sea towards the north and you will see Middle Mouse Island (C). Continue to walk for around a mile, and you will reach Llanlleiana (Ch). From here, re-join the coastal path across the headland.

Continue on this steep path for around a mile, and before reaching Porth Wen, turn down to the left towards Porth Wen Brickworks (D). This is the end of the walk. You can follow the same path back to the start.
