Dangerous sections of path shut

WALKERS TOLD TO USE DIVERSIONS

- By ANDREW FORGRAVE

TWO sections of the Wales Coast Path have been closed in Gwynedd due to "dangerous conditions".

Walkers had reported dicing with death on the path on the northern Llyn Peninsula.

The sections affected are between Traeth Towyn and Porth Ychain near Tudweliog; and from Porthor to Anelog a little further west. Diversions are in place.

Online a walker reported the footpath has been "slowly slipping for a while". Another said it was "where we literally nearly died". A third said: "Can't believe we made it round."

In late January, a wooden walkway was swallowed by a large sinkhole in the same area, between Trefgraig Plas and Bodferin near Llangwnnadl. Members of the public were warned to "not walk past under any circumstances".
