Area information
Llyn, Snowdon's arm, is the dramatically beautiful 24-mile-long peninsula pointing into the Irish Sea. Its status as an official Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, which goes back more than 50 years, recognises the exceptional qualities of its coastline, along which you'll find mile after mile of sandy beaches, towering headlands, sheltered coves and open bays rich in wildlife, all interlinked by the Llyn Coastal Path. Llyn is a stronghold of Welsh culture and language with a fascinating religious heritage. Visitors can trace it all by following the Pilgrim's Route along the peninsula then taking a boat trip to Bardsey Island, a wildlife haven and National Nature Reserve designated by the Countryside Council for Wales.
The Snowdonia Mountains and Coast region is the biggest, boldest mountains in Wales and England and are to be found here in the Snowdonia National Park. There's also a long coastline of sandy beaches, spectacular cliffs and glorious estuaries, large castles and steam railways and much much more. Coed-y-Brenin cycling centre within easy reach and the new zip wire and Bounce Below Centre.
