Wales Coast Path, Abersoch

2 miles; Abersoch, Wales, UK
We didn’t know it at the time but this was to be our last section of the Coast Path. It was basically a long beach walk and a stroll along a golf course. Pretty, though, as has been the case all along.
Beach Huts
Abersoch is a popular seaside holiday destination, and these beach huts are a veddy British thing. They can be either municipally- or privately-owned, and some may even have minimal amenities, such as bottled gas or electricity. They’re used basically for a place to sit out of the sun and to store personal items, and to change into or out of swimming clothes. The privately-owned ones can go for some eye-watering prices. In January 2016 a beach hut was sold in Brighton, Victoria, Australia for a record $285,000.
Borth Fawr Beach
Borth Fawr beach stretches northwards from Machroes to the headland at Abersoch. It made for a very pleasant stroll.
Lace-cap Hydrangea
It’s always a bit jarring to see a plant that is strictly a cultivated garden plant here in the states that seems to have escaped that cultivation in other countries. I remember also be struck by the profusion of brightly-colored flowering fuschia in Ireland that grew wild along the roadsides and trail sides.
Wild Blackberries
Lots of yummy blackberries along the road/trailsides, too.
Shoe
Awww… Some little Welsh kiddo lost his groovy VW Vanagon shoe! So cute!
