Braich Anelog is a prominent cliff and slope located in the county of Caernarfonshire, Wales. It is situated on the westernmost point of the Llŷn Peninsula, overlooking the Irish Sea. The name "Braich Anelog" translates to "Anelog Arm" in English, derived from the Welsh word "braich" meaning arm or promontory, and "Anelog" being the name of the nearby village.

This natural formation boasts breathtaking views and is a popular destination for nature enthusiasts, hikers, and photographers. The cliff stands tall, reaching an approximate height of 150 meters (492 feet) above sea level. The rugged and steep slope of Braich Anelog provides a stark contrast against the surrounding landscape, adding to its allure.

The area surrounding Braich Anelog is known for its diverse flora and fauna. The cliff is home to various bird species, including choughs, peregrine falcons, and kestrels. Wildflowers, such as thrift and sea campion, add vibrant splashes of color to the rugged terrain.

Visitors can enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of the Irish Sea, the St Tudwal's Islands, and the beautiful coastline. On clear days, the view extends as far as the mountains of Snowdonia National Park in the distance.

Braich Anelog offers a peaceful and serene environment, providing an excellent opportunity to connect with nature and escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

The start of a testing little hill The coast path near Pennant makes a shortish but very steep ascent of the northern spur of Mynydd Mawr. Meanwhile a sea mist creeps in from behind, soon enveloping the headland and obliterating the view along the path.
