Llangrannog, its cliffs, and the peninsula of Ynys Lochtyn offered some of the most otherworldly and dramatic coastal scenery I've ever witnessed.

Who knew the Ceredigion area of mid/west Wales offered all this?

There are LOADS more photos from this hike, and I implore you to gaze upon them here iancylkowski.com/blog/2024/9/9 👍

This image captures a dramatic coastal scene at Llangrannog near Cardigan in Wales. Rugged, golden-hued cliffs dominate the foreground, their layered rock formations sculpted by time and the elements. A large, distinctive rock formation known as Carreg Bica juts out from the cliff face, resembling a sentinel overlooking the sea. The shoreline is a mix of sandy beach and rocky outcrops, with foamy waves gently lapping at the shore. The sea stretches out to meet a clear blue sky dotted with wispy clouds, creating a serene backdrop to the raw beauty of the Welsh coastline.
A secluded beach nestled between towering cliffs at Ynys Lochtyn peninsula near Llangrannog, Wales. The golden sandy shore is embraced by imposing grey rock faces, their sheer height emphasised by the tiny figures of beachgoers below. Sunlight bathes the right-hand cliff in a warm glow, illuminating the verdant vegetation that clings to its slopes. The sea, a mesmerising turquoise, laps gently at the shore, creating a serene contrast to the rugged landscape. The scene captures the raw beauty of the Welsh coastline, where dramatic geology meets tranquil waters, offering visitors a sense of awe and isolation amidst nature's grandeur.
The rugged beauty of the Ynys Lochtyn peninsula near Llangrannog, Wales. In the foreground, jagged rock formations create a dramatic coastline, their layered striations telling tales of ancient geological processes. A small, secluded sandy cove is nestled amongst the cliffs, its golden sands a stark contrast to the dark, craggy rocks surrounding it. The sea crashes against the shore, its turquoise waters frothing white as they meet the land. Dominating the scene is a majestic, verdant hill rising from the sea, its slopes a patchwork of lush greens and earthy browns. The sky above is a canvas of swirling clouds, lending an air of moody grandeur to this breathtaking Welsh landscape.
The dramatic coastal landscape of Ynys Lochtyn peninsula near Llangrannog, Wales. Towering cliffs of layered rock face the deep blue-green sea, their rugged faces carved by millennia of wind and waves. The cliff tops are adorned with lush grass and wildflowers, creating a stark contrast to the dark, craggy rock below. White-capped waves crash against the base of the cliffs, highlighting the raw power of the ocean. In the distance, the coastline stretches on, fading into a misty horizon. A lone figure stands near the cliff edge, providing scale and emphasising the majestic grandeur of the scene. The image captures the wild, untamed beauty of the Welsh coast, with its interplay of land, sea, and sky.

@IanCykowski Thanks for sharing these with a CC license - if you don't mind, I'll use one as the header pic in my newsletter for Welsh learners later this week. (Thanks for the reminder about the parasols, too - I'll try to get out to Lochtyn in the next few days, if this wind drops!)
