The IPaper has listed Llwybr Cadfan Pilgrimage Trail as one the best hikes you haven’t tried in UK and Europe.
Llwybr Cadfan, named after the 6th-century Saint Cadfan, launched on Saturday 28 September 2024 at St Cadfan’s Church in Tywyn, Gwynedd. The launch event saw 20 pilgrims, including the Archbishop of Wales Andrew John, embark on the first stage of the trail.
Llwybr Cadfan stretches 128 miles (207 km) from Tywyn to Ynys Enlli (Bardsey Island) and has been developed by the Diocese of Bangor and funded by the Church in Wales Evangelism Fund. It aims to offer both spiritual seekers and adventure enthusiasts a chance to explore the rich heritage and natural beauty of North West Wales.
The full trail, which takes approximately 12 days to complete, includes visits to 17 historic churches and six holy wells. It passes through areas of outstanding natural beauty in Meirionydd, Eifionydd, and the Llŷn Peninsula, before culminating at Ynys Enlli (Bardsey Island), a location renowned for its spiritual significance.
Make 2025 the year you walk Llwybr Cadfan!
