Llŷn Peninsula Essentials

The Llŷn Peninsula features a diverse collection of historical and natural landmarks. This selection includes the 13th-century Criccieth Castle, perched on a rocky headland, and the Iron Age hillfort of Castell Odo. Coastal highlights range from the rare "singing" sands of Porth Oer to the secluded Porth Iago cove. The region's heritage is further reflected in the 17th-century manor house Plas yn Rhiw and the 12th-century St Hywyn’s Church, a historic resting point for pilgrims traveling to Bardsey Island.
