This will be our third visit to the Llyn Peninsula in recent years –an area  rich in historical monuments and sites. We start at Pistyll Church, a secluded rural church off the B4417 road, where a local historian will tell us about the history of the church and locality. We will then circumnavigate, on foot, the National Trust land nearby visiting the relics of several sites of archaeological interest and seeing some excellent views of the coast. After a picnic stop the coach will take us to another path to walk across open land and then up to the iron age hillfort of Tre’r Ceiri where CADW have recently carried out some restoration work. Following our descent from there the coach will take us to Nant Gwrtheyrn Language Centre to see the new Visitor Centre and have a meal at “Caffi Meinir, the Centre’s restaurant.

The first part of the walk is on field paths, which can be soggy in places, having a couple of fairly easy climbs. The route to Tre’r Ceiri is a more defined path, the final part quite steep. Total walking time will be about 5½ hours. Stout walking shoes and waterproof clothing are recommended and – most important – a picnic for the mid-day stop.

The coach will pick-up at Llangefni Library, Llanfairpwll Post Office and Coed Cyrnol, Menai Bridge. After the meal at "Caffi Meinir" we should be back in Llangefni by 8.30pm.

The cost for the day will be £20 per person. As usual numbers are restricted to 50  - first come .....

The excursion will be limited to 50 persons. A coach will leave from Holyhead picking up passengers at the usual places on its way to Menai Bridge where it will meet a feeder coach from Amlwch. The main coach will depart from Menai Bridge in time to arrive at Faenol for a tour starting at 10.00 am. During a guided walk we will visit the old and new halls, the mausoleum, the old church and some of the gardens. Stout footwear recommended. We will also be shown some of the conservation work done and the new teaching areas. Coffee and biscuits will be served before we depart for Llanberis. We will visit “Electric Mountain” to see the remains of the 12^th & 16^th century boats recovered from Llyn Peris. You may buy lunch at the café here or have a picnic outside by the lake. We then go to the Slate Museum for a guided tour including the 50ft waterwheel, the workshops and restored quarrymen’s houses. (Weather and time permitting there MAY be the option of a boat trip on Llyn Padarn).  We end the day with a meal at the Tyn y Coed Hotel, Capel Curig and should be back in Menai Bridge by about 7.45 pm.

The cost will be £22.50 per person.

PLEASE NOTE: a SEATING PLAN will be operated on the main coach, seats being allocated strictly in the order bookings are received.

Our guide for the afternoon will be the Rev. Edgar Jones who knows the history of the local churches very well. He will meet us at Llanfigael Church(SH328828) at 2.00pm and, after telling us about this church, will lead us to Llanbabo Church(SH378868) where we will learn about this one. We will then go to Llynnon Mill where a tour of the mill and refreshments will be made available at cost.

Llanfigael is signposted off the B5109 road about ½ a mile from Bodedern, some 1 ½ miles from Llanynghenedl. There is ample roadside parking there. We will go in convoy (an orderly one, of course) to the other two sites. Parking will be arranged at Llwyn yr Arth Farm, about 100 yards before reaching Llanbabo, look out for the AAS signs. If you wish to take tea at Llynnon please return the appropriate section of the booking form to the organisers by 29 August.
