Clashnessie / Clais an Easaidh is a small crofting community on the North-West coast of Scotland; specifically in the Assynt area of Sutherland.
The township (the old Scottish term for a crofting village) is scattered around the sandy beach of Clashnessie Bay and derives its name from the Gaelic clais an easaidh, meaning glen (clais) of the (an) waterfall (easaidh), referring to the waterfall at the head of the shallow glen in which most of the houses stand. Although 100 miles (160 km) north of Inverness, the village's micro-climate is generally mild, due to the closeness to the Atlantic Ocean Gulf Stream.

Beautiful views from Llandanwg Beach of Mountain Range in the distance.
Llandanwg Beach sits between the towns of Barmouth and Harlech on the southern side of Tremadog Bay. It is also part of the wider Snowdonia National Park and situated close to the pretty Afon Dwyryd estuary.
The sand dunes to the back of the beach conceal the tiny church of Saint Tanwg which dates from the 13th century. A small path winds through the dunes and leads you to the beach from the central car park area or you can take a trail from Cardigan Bay. As you sit on the pristine sands you will also be able to enjoy vistas of the rugged Rhinog Mountains in the distance.
The beach here shelves gently into the sea making this a good place to swim, although there is no lifeguard so care should be taken. When the tide is low, it reveals a causeway out to pretty Mochras which is also known by its local nickname of Shell Island due to the plethora of different hued shells found on the its beach.
Due to its strategic position, Llandanwg Beach is shielded from the well known Welsh winds which can be a little fresh at times meaning that you can enjoy this area even in the off-season. The beach is also well-loved by locals including fisherman who come here for the plentiful supplies of bass, mackerel, flatfish, and dogfish. With that in mind keen anglers will find plenty to do here, or you can explore dainty rock pools or simply go for a stroll on the soft, pristine sand.
Amenities at Traeth Llandanwg include disabled access and the village is also home to the quaint Y Maes Cafe close to the beach which operates from June to October.
Aberporth bay has two main beaches, known as Dolwen and Dyffryn beaches. They lie between the headlands of Trecregyn ('cregyn' means 'seashells' in Welsh) and Fathgarreg ('carreg' means 'rock') and are divided by another, smaller rocky headland - Pen Trwyn Cynwyl (Cynwyl's headland, named for a warrior saint who is said to have been with King Arthur at the battle of Camlan). The headlands are ideal wildlife spotting sites, including the bottlenose dolphins of Cardigan Bay.
The beaches are separated at high tide but at low tide there is a wide expanse of sand that stretches between sheltering headlands. Around these rocky outcrops there are plenty of rockpools and some caves to explore at low tide.

Cullen is a village and former royal burgh in Moray but historically in Banffshire, Scotland, on the North Sea coast 20 miles east of Elgin
Criccieth is a beautiful seaside resort town on Cardigan Bay, on the Southern side of the Llyn Peninsula. Known as the ‘Pearl of Wales on the Shores of Snowdonia’, this attractive Victorian seaside resort is popular with tourists for its fantastic beaches and its traditional Welsh charm.
The town began developing into a seaside resort back in 1868, when the Welsh Coast railways were beginning to be constructed. Since then, Criccieth has become a popular location for those seeking relaxing coastal breaks in the UK.
Overlooking the town on its headland stands the remains of the 13th century Criccieth Castle. The origin of the name ‘Criccieth’ has been disputed over the years, but many believe it is a reference to welsh words ‘crug caeth’. These words translate to ‘hill captives’ - the hill on which the castle was built upon was once used as a jail.
Criccieth Castle was originally built by Llywelyn the Great, in the early 13th century. Llywelyn was a Prince of Gwynedd, and ruled Wales for over 40 years. After his reign, the castle was succeeded by his son.
Much later, Edward I took control of Criccieth Castle, which eventually led to the Welsh residents of the area revolting against this. Just over 100 years later in 1404, the castle was completely sacked and was never reoccupied – leaving only what can still be seen today.
Situated ten miles north of Lochinver, Clashnessie Bay is a clean, quiet and beautiful beach. With a rocky inlet and a big sandy shore, the beach is a fabulous adventure for children and full of things to explore. A short walk upstream will take you to the Clashnessie Falls, a fifteen meter waterfall, dropping from the lochans above. Clashnessie Bay is famous for its ever changing weather and water colour, from tranquil turquoise to white foamy waves.
I spotted this young lady riding her horse at Borth, Ceredigion, Wales. I was able to track her down on FB and gave her a set of images, she was chuffed to bits as it was her first time on a beach with her horse.
A cold and crisp New years eve morning is an ideal time to look back to those holiday snaps.
