This coastline near Rhoscolyn offers a wild and uncommercialised beach experience with no amenities, ensuring a pristine natural environment for those seeking peace and tranquility. Located just 0.8 kilometers from Rhoscolyn center, Porth Wen (also known as Traeth Borth Wen) is famous for its dramatic Victorian brickworks ruins that add an atmospheric industrial heritage backdrop to the coastal scenery. The beach remains relatively uncrowded even during peak season, making it perfect for visitors who prefer unspoiled landscapes enhanced by the haunting beauty of abandoned Victorian kilns, chimneys, and rusty remnants that once produced fire bricks for the steel industry.
