Dinas Dinlle is a long shingle-and-sand beach on the coast south of Caernarfon, with an Iron Age hillfort on the grassy headland at its northern end — slowly slipping into the sea as the cliff erodes. Good for a blustery walk, with views out to Anglesey and, on the skyline, Yr Wyddfa. There’s no station near; it’s easiest reached by road from Caernarfon.
