the lleyn Peninsula<br />
The Lleyn Peninsula is truly the jewel in the Welsh scenic crown. It starts at Snowdon’s peak<br />
and reaches out to Bardsey Island, forming a land of outstanding natural beauty with many<br />
areas protected by the National Trust as Wales’ Heritage Coastline.<br />
The land is steeped in early Celtic religious history, with 20,000 saints allegedly buried on<br />
Bardsey or Ynys Enlli - island of the tides. On the mainland, there are many examples of early<br />
Christian churches such as St Mary’s at Bryncroes where St Mary’s Well was an important<br />
watering place on the Pilgrim’s Route to Bardsey.<br />
The Heritage North Coast<br />
The Heritage North Coast offers breathtaking views from the top peaks of the ever dominant<br />
Yr Eifl (The Rivals) mountains. Visitors to the area can enjoy the wonderful watersports and<br />
surfing opportunities in the grand sweeping bay formed by Nefyn, Morfa Nefyn and Porth<br />
Dinllaen, where a the 27 hole golf course is probably the finest in Wales.<br />
Further along the Peninsula, Aberdaron’s beach is a delight while at nearby Porthoer, or<br />
Whistling Sands, the white golden sand mysteriously whistles below your feet! Overlooking<br />
Porth Neigwl (Hell’s Mouth) at Rhiw, the lovely National Trust property Plas-yn-Rhiw is a<br />
delightful 17th century Regency Manor House with many unusual and rare plants set in<br />
ornamental gardens.<br />
