Llyn Peninsula reaching 30 miles into the Irish Sea, is also known as Snowdon’s Arm. The cosy, seaside towns of Criccieth, with its castle, and Pwllheli and Abersoch are springboards into a land that’s steeped in Welsh culture, with stunning, sandy beaches and fascinating wildlife.
The Wales Coast Path runs round the peninsula passing forts and churches pointing the way to Bardsey Island. Boat trips take you to this sacred centre of pilgrimage and internationally renowned nature reserve. Learn the heritage and legend of Llyn at Nant Gwrtheyrn – “the forgotten village” – and visit the 16th century manor house and gardens at Plas yn Rhiw.
Work up a thirst by walking – no cars allowed – to the Ty Coch pub, in the village of Porthdinllaen. It’s right on the beach, literally.
