Lleyn Peninsula

Westward-extending peninsula in north Wales, between Cardigan Bay and Caernarfon Bay. Its coastline is designated as a National Heritage Coastline and an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It includes the resort of Pwllheli. Bardsey Island, at its tip, is the traditional burial place of 20,000 saints.

It is a low plateau with a number of mountains, of which Yr Eifl (564 m/1,850 ft) is the highest. The area is rural with a predominantly Welsh-speaking population. Other resorts along the coast include Criccieth, Abersoch, Aberdaron, and Nefyn. Activities include surfing, sailing, and sea angling.
