Nestled in the coastal fishing village of Porthdinllaen in Gwynedd, Ty Coch Inn is one of a handful of buildings located on the small idyllic jut of land, and sits on the sandy curved shores of an area of outstanding natural beauty. Boasting views across the Irish Sea and the Snowdonia mountain range, the location has been described by reviewers as “world class”, “unrivalled” and “a bucket list for those seeking a quiet escape”.
With its nearest car park located 20 minutes’ walk away, Ty Coch (red house in English) is only accessible by foot, making it one of the most remote pubs in the UK. Parking at Morfa Nefyn, owned by the National Trust, visitors to the pub can either walk on a footpath through Nefyn Golf Club, or at low tide, can choose the scenic route across the beach.
