Start Point
Llanddona Beach Car Park. To reach the car park from Llanddona, take the road by the side the Owain Glyndwr which leads down to the beach. The road down is not for the faint hearted as it's narrow and steep but there are passing places. Take it slowly, it's worth it as you will be rewarded with spectacular views and a lovely walk. Halfway down the road divides in two, take the left hand fork, it's a slightly easier descent and leads down to the large car park just back off the beach.
