Ynys Gifftan is an island near the south-east shore of Traeth Bach, the Dwyryd estuary near Portmeirion in Merionethshire. There is a public footpath to it across the estuary; it can be reached on foot at low tide and is 125 feet high.[1] The island has been uninhabited since the mid-1960s and the island's single cottage is in a state of disrepair.[2] It is one of 43 (unbridged) tidal islands which may be reached on foot from the mainland of Great Britain.[3]
