It is difficult to think of an area with
so many advantages for the wildlife that inhabits its interior,
coastline and surrounding seas. A warm damp climate, remoteness
from areas of high population or industrial pollution and very
little intensive agriculture underpin favourable habitats for
wildlife. These habitats range from ancient pasture, small areas
of wooded swampland, high heath and moor-land, cliffs and rocky
offshore islands.
The surrounding waters have a direct gulf-stream influence, with
strong tidal streams bringing nutrients to the prolific undersea
life. The rich seas support a thriving population of marine
mammals and dense colonies of breeding seabirds that inhabit the
cliffs and offshore islands in the spring and summer months.
Those of us who live here consider ourselves to be very
privileged to share this very precious part of Wales with the
vast variety of creatures that make their home here. We hope you
will enjoy the Llyn Peninsula countryside and its wildlife and
will join us in our efforts to protect and preserve it.
