The stunning Llyn Peninsula boasts a rich culture and heritage, gorgeous harbours, stunning beaches and dramatic sea cliffs. It is a protected Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty where you can walk the Wales Coast Path and enjoy the sensational seascapes and landscapes.

Abersoch is delightful with cafes, restaurants, quirky shops and two fabulous beaches. The main beach offers wonderful watersports and excellent views towards St Tudwal’s Islands. The beach is flanked by some of the most expensive beach huts in Wales. The harbour beach is great for crabbing and watching the boats. One of the biggest attractions is the ‘micro-climate’ which is attributed to Abersoch’s location on the Llyn, surrounded by the sea on three sides.

To the west of Abersoch, at Y Rhiw, you will find Plas yn Rhiw, a 17th century Welsh manor house set in beautiful ornamental gardens with outstanding views of the bay. It is owned and run by the National Trust. As the road climbs, you will pass Porth Neigwl, otherwise known as Hell’s Mouth Beach which is highly rated as the best for surfing in North Wales.

Bardsey Island is also known as the ‘Isle of 20000 Saints’ . It is one of Wales’ natural wonders and was declared a National Nature Reserve in 1986 due to its amazing bird life. Legend has it that this remote island is home to 20,000 saints who are buried on the island. The stretch of water separating it from the mainland is known in Welsh as Ynys Enlli due to an abundance of rip tides and whirl pools which can make the crossing interesting. The wildlife on the island is extensive with many migrant species pulling over for a pit stop or to breed and nest. Migratory birds visiting include chiffchaffs, goldcrests, wheatears, sedge, willow warblers, whitethroats and spotted flycatchers. Resident species include ravens, little owls, oystercatchers, chough, razorbills, guillemots, fulmars and kittiwakes.

Llanbedrog boasts a photogenic line of colourful beach huts and a superb beach. Oriel Plas Glyn-y-Weddw is its wonderful arts centre and gallery. Porthdinllaen is a stunning coastal hamlet brimming with quaint houses above a stunning half moon of golden sand, another great photo opportunity. The village and beach are owned by the National Trust and access is by foot only. It boasts a lovely characterful waterfront pub. Beside Porthdinllaen you will find Nefyn with its maritime museum, pretty harbour and a sweeping crescent of sand. Its headland golf course is extremely scenic.

Llithfaen is a quaint inland village set in a fascinating landscape. On Yr Eifl mountains you will find Tre’r Ceiri, an astonishingly well-preserved prehistoric village which was occupied until about 2000 years ago. Nearby is the Welsh Language and Heritage Centre, Nant Gwrtheyrn.
