| Trefor
Once a busy mining village, Trefor has
become relatively quiet now. The granite quarried high on the slips of
Yr Eifl above the village, only had a short journey to the harbour to
be shipped off to the large cities in South Wales and England. Granite
from Yr Eifl has even been used to make curling stones for the winter
Olympics!
Much of the harbour here dries out at
low tide, however, there are still a few boats moored here, mainly for
fishing purposes, as long sandy beaches are as far away as Nefyn and
Dinas Dinlle from Trefor so pleasure craft are more concentrated in
those areas.
The old pier is popular with
fishermen and crabbers young and old!
The nearest harbourmaster is based at
Porth Dinllaen, see contact details above.
