A substantial landslip has caused damage to several beachfront properties and has led to warnings for those walking along nearby coastal paths.

Cyngor Gwynedd confirmed that some private homes have been impacted, but fortunately, no one was inside when the landslip occurred. The chairwoman of Nefyn town council, Mared Llywelyn, reported that the floors of certain buildings have collapsed, raising concerns among the local community. This incident follows a series of recent landslips that have also affected public pathways in the area over the past week.

She highlighted that last year’s extreme storms and this year’s increasing rainfall have contributed to the situation worsening. One of the affected routes—a path connecting Nefyn with Morfa Nefyn, which was previously widened and resurfaced—has been closed after part of it was lost to a landslip.

As a safety measure, a portion of the coastline adjacent to the landslip has been cordoned off.
