Y Pen Llyn ar un wefan! The Llyn Peninsula in one website!

South-east Llyn is where the mountains of Snowdonia roll down into Tremadog Bay. Porthmadog is the gateway to Llyn, and has a long high street full of shops. Criccieth is a small seaside town and is overlooked by it's castle ruins on a small hill jutting out into the sea.

Other smaller villages in this area are:

Tremadog - Built by William Alexander Madocks and the childhood home of "Lawrence of Arabia".

Borth-y-gest - Picturesque little village on the side of the Glaslyn Estuary, a couple of shops and lots of walks around the surrounding countryside and estuary side.

Morfa Bychan and Black Rock Sands - Black Rock Sands is probably the biggest beach on Llyn, when the tide is out. The beach is good for bathing and beach games. The seaside village of Morfa Bychan lines the back of the beach and is home to the Porthmadog Golf Course.

Llanystumdwy - Childhood home of Lloyd George. Now has a museum in his memory, he is buried on an island in the Afon Dwyfor.
