Things to see and do Aberdaron

An opportunity to discover the island of Bardsey, Welsh for "tidal island", renowned for its wildlife (especially seabirds), flora and religious history. During the crossing, our knowledgeable staff will inform you about many of the island's features. Depending on weather conditions, tours may be cancelled: if in doubt, call ahead. The parking lot is a ten-minute walk from the pier, so don't hesitate to contact them if you have reduced mobility. They can adapt and help you.

To the south of the village, overlooking the Irish Sea, you can visit this church dating back to the ^6th century. Saxons, soldiers of the ^12th-century Welsh prince Gruffydd ap Rhys, as well as Cromwell's soldiers during the Civil War, are said to have taken refuge here. Even today, religious expeditions to the island of Bardsey (considered the "Rome of Wales" in the ^12th century) set off from this church. You can also visit the cemetery, where some tombs date back to the ^6th century. For further information, visit the website.

Follow the path to the western tip of Wales, Mynydd Mawr, from where you can see the island of Bardsey (about 10 km). You can get there by car or by foot. Take the road from Aberdaron and park after the livestock pass. The trail leads you to the end of the tip. Grandiose!
