Deliberately chose a really short, straightforward walk today. I couldn’t be bothered bringing the pushchair so it needed to be one that I knew Anwen could do. The weather was really hot so I wanted somewhere easy and preferably shady.

It is now the summer holidays (hurrah) so hopefully we’ll get a few more treks in over the next few weeks. Today’s walk is a family favourite and an old go-to.  Nant Y Pandy (more commonly known as the Dingle) is a 43 acre Nature Reserve in Llangefni in the middle of Ynys Môn. It is a wooded valley which is bisected by the Afon Cefni  (River Cefni - Av-onn Kev-knee).  I used Strava to measure today’s route rather than OS Maps, so the distance may not be 100% accurate.
