From Mynydd Mawr, the 500 foot summit at the western extremity of the Lleyn peninsula, are magnificent views of the coast and Bardsey Island. This beautiful headland is an area of wild heath and the rare chough may be seen here as well as sea birds. A Site of Special Scientific Interest, it is a wonderful promontory to explore. There is a car park on the summit but, for those who have the energy, the best approach is by coastal footpath from Aberdaron.
