"Y Lôn Goed (Tree Lane in English), is in a quiet, agricultural area of Gwynedd. The road, which winds its way through the countryside for about five miles from the sea at Afonwen near Pwllheli to Hendre Cennin near Bryncir, was probably built between 1819 and 1828 under the direction of John Maughan, steward of the Talhenbont Estate, Plas Hen, to facilitate the transport of lime, coal and peat.
The logic behind the trees was that they would help drain the land, making it easier for the estate farmers to carry lime from the kiln at Afonwen to the different farms and thus improve the soil. Traffic ceased on Lôn Goed in the early 1860s with the arrival of the railway to Bryncir and Afonwen." (Information "borrowed" from Facebook)
This is a beautiful walk and we park at the Bryncir end of the walk. Maybe one day we should put a vehicle at both ends and walk all the way down. Anyone up for it?
Today we took Ross and Beti, so everyone has had a special walk this week, and I've had three special walks. After doing the walk Linda and I went exploring another section of a walk going in the opposite direction. From what I can see online further up that track takes us up towards a farm, and out onto a single track lane, but hell with a couple of dogs in tow I think we'll have to go back to find out.
