Cilan Head

Cilan Head is a headland on the tip of the Llŷn Peninsula of Gwynedd in northwestern Wales, near Abersoch.

[1] Cilan Head is the southernmost point of the peninsula, on roughly the same latitude as Dyffryn Ardudwy, between Harlech and Barmouth.

[2] To the north of the head is the hamlet of Cilan Uchaf, a holiday home and a horse riding school.

[4] The BBC describes Cilan Head as "an area of common ground covering 215 acres", with "grazing rights for 900 sheep, 79 cattle, 30 geese and three ponies on the headland".

The cliff, near the Ty’n Tywyn Quarries, consists of a mixture of shale and grit bands.
