Hiking

Garn Boduan is an Iron Age hillfort and hill near Nefyn on the Llŷn Peninsula. In a fascinating survey in the 1950s the traces of over 170 round houses were identified on this site and around 100 round houses are still visible on the ground. Between 100 and 400 people may have lived in this fort high up here on the hill. The lower stone rampart is the original defence built in the Iron Age. Fine views can be had over the surrounding Llŷn peninsula and nearby Nefyn from here. it is also a UK listed Marilyn.
