04.07.25 - Tremeirchion Footpath Closures (Saesneg yn unig...)
Sections of the Trail in this area are going to be closed for work on the Power Lines. The closure affects the route after St Beuno's College. The section closed is from the lane at Ysgubor at Grid Ref SJ 0834 7384. (see Page 20 in the Guide Book). When the work starts a signposted and waymarked route will be in place.

Please note that this diversion does not go through the village of Tremeirchion.

The work has not yet started and the diverted route will be in place before work commences. Hopefully the work will only take a few weeks.

29.01.25 - REGARDING THE ANNUAL PILGRIMAGE (Saesneg yn unig...)
We have very much enjoyed the company of those who have joined us over the years, but due to logistical reasons we are no longer able to offer our annual guided pilgrimage. However, it will continue to be open for walking by individuals or groups right through the year.

The North Wales Pilgrim’s Way is now well established, fully waymarked, and is on the OS map. We are delighted that more and more people are walking it, either in one go, or in sections.

We will continue to maintain the NWPW, to keep the website updated and our Facebook page open.

We hope that walkers/ trekkers and pilgrims will continue to enjoy this wonderful route!

The pilgrim stamp that was situated in Penygroes will now be re-sited in a box at a lych gate of the Woollen Mill (Self Catering), half a mile beyond Penygroes on the route as you cross the river Llyfni which will provide a nice dry place to stamp one’s passport. Also available at St Beuno’s church in Clynnog Fawr.

The Pilgrimage: the Road through North Wales:- On the 29th March (Good Friday) BBC2 featured the Pilgrims Way on their 'Pilgrimage' series. This was followed by 2 further episodes, all now available on iPlayer if you missed it. Filming took place last September in good weather and the Celebs' & crew were guided & advised by our volunteers. The celebrities include Christine McGuinness, Spencer Matthews, Amanda Lovett, Eshaan Akbar, Sonali Shan, Michaela Strachan & Tom Rosenthal. It is definitely worth a watch.

14.07.23 - (Saesneg yn unig...) We have decided to mark the 10th anniversary by putting a bench at the halfway point – but the exact halfway point is just alongside Aber Falls. There are benches there already, and so we felt it would be best to place it at the top of the long climb beyond Aber, at the site of a previous bench. A natural resting point for a weary walker, with extraordinarily beautiful views.

The bench was duly made by members of the team using local oak. The problem then arose of how to get the heavy bench up the mountainside! We contacted the University Farm and Research station at Henfaes, and Mark Hughes came to our rescue. The bench was brought on a trailer from St Asaph, and Mark took the trailer by tractor up the steep access track to the top of the hill and to its destination. There then followed an enjoyable couple of hours digging out the remains of the previous bench, laying the specially made concrete blocks level, and bolting the bench in place.

It proved an educational event also, as Mark patiently answered our many questions about farming, weather, ecology, history, geography and balancing tourism with farming. The bench seemed to cope with five people with ease, and the first walkers to use it were, appropriately, a local couple with two dogs. Let’s hope it will provide a good resting place for many walkers in the years to come.

Our thanks to the University farm for allowing us to site the bench on their land and to Mark for his great help with the project. Diolch yn fawr iawn!

Some of the hospitality venues and transport options across the route are only slowly finding their feet again after the Covid-19 restrictions so early contact with them is advised before setting out on the North Wales Pilgrim’s Way. Although most restrictions will be eased from now on the Welsh or UK governments may re-impose some constraints either locally or nationally if new variants show signs of taking hold, so please take note of any future announcements. Hospitality venues are only too keen to be able to offer accommodation and bookings are expected to be heavy and our advice is to book two or three base sites across the route as most places will not accept a single night’s booking as it may block a potential longer stay”.

29.06.16 - Mae ffolder yn Eglwys Sant Hywyn, Aberdaron erbyn hyn i bererinion gofnodi eu taith ar hyd Taith Pererin Gogledd Cymru. Mae’r llyfr i’w gael ar fwrdd y pererinion sydd y tu hwnt i’r stondin lyfrau ar y chwith. Byddem yn ddiolchgar iawn pe baech chi’n ei arwyddo - Diolch.

Prosiect Pasbort Pererinion Gogledd Cymru
Gan ddilyn y Seintiau Celtaidd cynnar, mae pererinion wedi bod yn cerdded llwybrau gogledd Cymru ers canrifoedd tuag at ynys sanctaidd Enlli. Mae’n anodd gwybod lle yn union oedd y llwybrau gwreiddiol ond, erbyn hyn, mae’n bosibl teithio ar Lwybr Pererin Gogledd Cymru sydd newydd ei sefydlu. Mae hwn yn llwybr troed hir ar hyd gogledd Cymru o Abaty Dinas Basing ger Treffynnon i Aberdaron, gan basio drwy rai o’r golygfeydd prydferthaf yng Nghymru... rhagor o fanylion
