 Mynydd
Tir-y-Cwmwd
(132m)
Overlooking Llanbedrog, Mynydd Tir-y-Cwmwd (132m) is a major
landmark along the south coast of the peninsula. It’s high plateau
splits St. Tudwal’s Roads with Llanbedrog Bay and commands excellent
views right along the coast, with the tip of Ynys Enlli (Bardsey)
visible to the north-west and the mountains of Mid Wales to the south
east.
Steps lead up the steep northern side of the hill and reach the top
where you are greeted by the “iron man” – a statue which has been
replaced twice since the original wooden figurehead off a ship that
apparently sank in the bay stood here. Take a moment to enjoy the
peace and quiet you’ll find here whilst taking in the fantastic views
– Llanbedrog beach is directly below you and you get an excellent
birds-eye view from here. There are then a network of paths
criss-crossing the plateau and eventually leading to the triangulation
pillar on the summit.
A more gentle climb to the top starts from the lane leading to the
quarry beach (this is a very thin lane and worth noting!), there is a
small car park for a few cars opposite the small track which leads up
to the top. Alternatively park near the village hall in Llanbedrog and
walk up the lane next to it (this is the one that eventually leads to
the quarry beach).
