Aberdaron

The bridge at Afon Daron and Afon Cyll-y-felin

Aberdaron is a small fishing village at the tip of Wales's northern peninsula, the Lleyn.

Beyond it lies Bardsey, in legend the island of 10,000 saints and now a favourite bird-watching place. Nowadays, Aberdaron's main trade is tourism and its beach was awarded the Blue flag rural beach award in 2005.

The bridge, which stands at the confluence of the Afon Daron and Afon Cyll-y-felin, is often photographed. The poet R. S. Thomas was vicar of the church which stands right next to the shore. At times the congregation could not hear the service for the sound of the wind and waves.
