A change in weather. Yesterday's glorious sunshine gives way to a sea haar, low mist, rain and the walk is accompanied by the incessant bellowing of the Fog Horn. Most fitting for this rugged, dramatic section of coastline.
We start from the pub car park and head up past the church and onto the headland.

A couple of things of interest along the coast - the Medieval St Gwenfaen's Well, where casting two quartz pebbles into the water is a cure for mental illness - and the coast guard lookout tower. With two coast guards on full lookout - peering through the binoculars towards the ocean.

A drop down to a tiny harbour and lanes back to the pub.
Midday on a Tuesday and the car park is filling up with people waiting for the 12pm opening. This is a good sigh - you are never sure whether such isolated pubs will be open midweek. But as our waitress confirmed on entry, we are heading into "silly season".

This is a Good Beer Guide Pub - and it did have three handpulls from the Conwy Brewery on. The reason for the queues, however, is the food. This is a gastro pub. You know.... most tables set out with cutlery. Fish and chips for £17.50. That kind of thing.
The Clogwyn gold hit the spot. The fish finger sandwich made from the cut off bits of the £17.50 fish and chips, less so. Great chunks of batter. Little fish.
