Becws Islyn The former corrugated iron <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/357618">SH1726 : Becws Islyn Bakery Aberdaron</a> was demolished in 2015 and replaced by a newly built bakery, shop and coffee house. It is an impressive building and a great addition to Aberdaron, though the colour-washed walls and thatched roof are very much out of character with the otherwise white and grey grittiness of this windswept village.
