Llanbedrog is a village of two halves. The lower
half, below the A499 is quiet and has access to
the beach, as well as walks all over the
headland which dominates the village. A recent
toposcope outlines all of the main peaks of
Snowdonia that are visible from the summit. On
the north east side of the headland is a statue,
"the weary traveller" which was originally a
wooden figurehead off a ship that sank in the
bay. The current statue is the second
replacement and because of it's construction is
said to sing in the wind.
St. Pedrog's Church is one of the most
picturesque churches on the peninsula and it's
neighbouring church hall is home to many
interesting exhibitions throughout the season.
The beach at Llanbedrog is owned by the National
Trust and there is a large car park on the cliff
tops directly behind the beach. The beach itself
is probably one of the most photographed in the
area, surrounded by trees and dominated by
Mynydd Tir-y-Cwmwd headland. There is a cafe on
top of the beach selling ice cream in the
summer.
The second part of the village is that above the
A499 which stretches along the B4413 towards
Mynytho, gaining height as it does so. The
village has two pubs, a shop, pharmacy as well
as a petrol station.
