The tiny beach with a 'world class' pub worth the drive from Greater Manchester

Dotted along the coastline of North Wales are dozens of picturesque beaches, but one of them stands out in particular as its home to one of the best pubs in Wales. Ty Coch Inn is a small red-brick pub nestled in a sandy cove on the north coast of the Llyn peninsula.

The pub has over 800 ‘excellent’ and ‘very good’ reviews and an overall TripAdvisor rating of four out of five. Ty Coch Inn boasts 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”, Wales Online reports.

Located in the coastal fishing village of Porthdinllaen in Gwynedd, it’s one of a handful of buildings on the small idyllic jut of land, and sits on the sandy curved shores of an area of outstanding natural beauty. Wales Online also featured it in its guide to the 50 best pubs in Wales.

Porthdinllaen is around a two-and-a-half hour drive from Manchester, but it's well worth the journey - although it doesn’t end there. The nearest car park to the pub is a 20 minute walk away, 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. One visitor described the beach walk as “glorious” and said the pub was “one of the best inns on any beach in the world”. Another described it as a "hidden gem."

They added: "If you like something quirky, off the beaten track and with a stunning location then this is the place for you." Those who enjoy a longer walk can
