...Pagans & Pilgrimages
The historic Lôn Goed is a tranquil 8km oak-lined path which dates from the early 19th century. It was built from the coast inland to transport stone to the Mostyn Estate, and was immortalised by renowned poet R Williams Parry (1884-1956) in his famous poem 'Eifionydd’. As a result, Y Lôn Goed is a place of pilgrimage for Welsh language poetry lovers and is a place of sanctuary at the heart of the Eifionydd countryside. The path doubles as a wildlife corridor, so look out for polecats, bats, barn owls, hares and weasels as you walk the linear route. If you reach the coast, pop into Tafarn y Plu in Llanystumdwy before you head back. This characterful pub sits opposite David Lloyd George’s childhood home and is a favourite for writers tutoring and attending the nearby Tŷ Newydd Writing Centre.
