Lleyn Peninsula
Unmistakeable in so many ways
Explore Lleyn Peninsula
The Lleyn has a stunning, unspoilt coastline and a markedly slower pace of life. One of Wales’ best-kept secrets and the perfect place to ‘leave it all behind’.
The Llŷn (Lleyn) Peninsula, in Gwynedd, is found south west from the Isle of Anglesey. It stretches out for about 30 miles from North West Wales into the Irish Sea. It is another of Wales’ Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), meaning it is protected in terms of conservation due to its beautiful, unspoilt coastline.
The Llŷn has a distinctive, unspoilt character and a personality all it’s own. It’s sunny southern coast draws walkers, wakeboarders and dinghy-sailors, while the ancient pilgrimage site of Bardsey Island, at it’s tip, is a haven for wildlife.

Whistling Sands Walk (Porthor)
Known for its famous ‘Whistling Sands’, this secluded gem of a beach is one of our most perfect beaches in Wales. You cannot help but be captivated by its beauty. Explore a great family beach and enjoy a great place to relax.
The English name for Porthor,’Whistling Sands’, is derived from the squeak or whistle emitted by the peculiar shaped sand particles being rubbed together when walked on in warm weather. The sound can be made by stamping or sliding the feet on dry sand.
This is a wonderfully sandy beach that is perfect for sunbathing and swimming. The shallow sandy beach stretches out into the bay and is ideal for swimming or paddling. There is an excellent cafe on the beach and the coastal path runs in both directions for a great walk.

Plas yn Rhiw
A delightful manor house with ornamental garden and wonderful views. The view of Hell’s Mouth from the car park sets the tone for any visit.
The woodland walk is a floral delight, the gardens are colourful and vibrant with a profusion of wisteria and rhododendrons. The house itself is full of interest and the room guides provide fascinating extra insights into the history of the place.
A longer walk to the croft is also well worth the effort. The on site cafe is extremely handy for decent coffee and a light lunch.
