Location - the Lleyn (Llŷn) Peninsula

We are situated in the heart of the Lleyn / Llŷn Peninsula (National Grid Reference: 4:29:34W / 52:52:19N - Ref: SH323334) - which is the recognizable arm of North Wales that points towards Ireland.

Lleyn / Llŷn is approximately 35 miles long by 10 miles at its widest. The hills are rich in prehistoric remains with holy wells and a pilgrimage route to Bardsey Island. Even today no main road penetrates to the tip of the peninsula. Guarded by Caernarfon Castle in the north and Harlech in the south, the area is now designated as one of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Between both coastlines, the mountains offer walking opportunities and magnificent views as they plunge down to the sea, allowing coastal villages to nestle in the coves. On a clear day look across Caernarfon Bay to Anglesey or Ireland and to the south Cardigan Bay. This area retains the Welshness of Wales, the language being used during daily transactions by young and old alike.

We are conveniently situated for all that Lleyn / Llŷn can offer you as a walker, water-skier, yachtsman, pony trekker, golfer, scuba diver or just someone who wants to lie on the beach. There are numerous activities nearby, for example: golf at Pwllheli, Abersoch and Morfa Nefyn; horse riding; clay shooting/archery; quad bikes; ten pin bowling; gardens; galleries etc. We are also close to the many attractions found in Lleyn / Llŷn, for example: Snowdon, Llanberis, Portmeirion, Ffestiniog Railway, and castles. There are many good local pubs and restaurants nearby these and attraction details are available in your cottage and are also available on our sister web site: www.llanbedrog.info.
