The unofficial capital of the stunning Lleyn Peninsula is the bustling market town of Pwllheli, a traditional seaside town that offers a good selection of shops, pubs and restaurants. Renowned for its sailing and water sports, the town is home to a marina which holds 400 boats, and two beaches, one of which holds a Blue Flag Award. The Lleyn Peninsula has incredible scenery, remote bays, sandy beaches, beautiful coastal walking, and excellent golf courses. The peninsula is recognised as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and a large part of the coastline is owned and managed by the National Trust. The pretty harbour town of Abersoch; Criccieth, with its medieval castle, and the wildlife haven of Bardsey Island are all close by. The magnificent scenery of Snowdonia and the Isle of Anglesey are waiting to be discovered in this stunning part of North Wales.
