At the foot of Yr Eifl, the tallest hills on the
peninsula, lies the village of Trefor, which owes its very existence
to the quarries on the hills above it. Granite from Yr Eifl quarry
has been used to make Olympic Curling Stones, as well as many curb
stones in the larger towns and cities of England and Wales.
Trefor's small harbour offers a small sandy
beach, on this otherwise fairly rocky stretch of coastline, as a
wander to the end of the old pier illustrates as you look either way
along the shore. The pier is popular with fishermen and there are
many walks which explore the coast and hills that start from the
village.
Trefor is a close community with basic facilities
available at it's centre. The village is roughly 8 miles from Pwllheli and 12
miles from Caernarfon.
