The Llyn peninsula, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, mixes Snowdonia’s hills with Anglesey’s stunning coastline. Then it adds a unique mysticism all of its own.

Christian pilgrims began making the trip to Bardsey Island (known as the Island of 20,000 Saints) in the 6th century. Today you can follow in their footsteps along the Pilgrim’s Way, a route forming part of the peninsula’s 84-mile coastal path.

Harbour village Abersoch is dubbed the “Rock” of North Wales for its watersports (it hosts Europe’s largest wakeboarding festival). Morfa Nefyn on the northern coastline is one of the most photographed bays in Wales.

If you like messing about on the water, there’s more good news – the peninsula enjoys a unique micro-climate, giving warmer weather and higher sea temperatures.

The principal town of Pwllheli has one of the busiest markets in the country, while nearby Llanstumdwy is the childhood home and burial place of prime minister Lloyd George.

So even if the climate isn’t kind to you, there’s plenty to keep you occupied on the Llyn Peninsula.
