Hill-Bagging

Coastal View SW From Dinas Dinlle.

This was the view looking south west down the Lleyn coast to the hills of Yr Eifl and Gryn Ddu from Dinas Dinlle early on Sunday morning. I was there to bag the P30 called Dinas Dinlle with my P30 Guru, Chris Watson. More weekend pictures can be seen here.

Dinas Dinlle is a small settlement in Gwynedd, north-west Wales, with a large sand and pebble beach with vast areas of sand from mid-tide level. The foreshore consists of natural pebble banks. The popular beach offers views towards the Ll?n Peninsula (Penrhyn Ll?n) and towards Ynys Llanddwyn (Llanddwyn Island) on Anglesey. The area is a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI).
The cliff above the beach is known as Boncan Dinas and is occupied by an Iron Age hill fort, Dinas Dinlle. This fort has been eroded by the sea, such that only a double semi-circular rampart remains. Finds of Roman pottery indicate a reoccupation in the 2nd or 3rd centuries
