The Llyn Peninsula

Quiet walks with spectacular scenery lead from the end of the drive. We are midway between the north and south coasts, with sandy beaches and cliff walks within 5 minutes drive time. There are good restaurants and bistros nearby where we are happy make reservations for you.

Portmeirion, the castles of Caernarfon, Cricieth, Harlech, Beaumaris and Conway and Bodnant Gardens make great days out, as do journeys on the Snowdonia and Welsh Highland Railways. Llechwedd Slate Mine & Llanberis Electric Mountain are just two of many informative centres worth visiting.

In the immediate locality ten pin bowling, clay pigeon shooting, archery, go-karting, quad- biking, classical horse riding, waterskiing, surfing, sailing, hovercrafting and boat trips can be arranged.  The golf courses of Nefyn, Pwllheli, Abersoch, Cricieth, Porthmadog and Harlech are all in easy reach and offer a wide variety of challenges.

Out of season, have the beaches and roads to yourselves. The climate is mild and the Lleyn has a micro-climate that is often drier and sunnier than the forecast shows. Pwllheli Marina is only 4 miles away and The Old Rectory has ample parking for boats. Follow the Pilgrims’ Trail past ancient churches; walk up Boduan Mountain to see Iron Age hill forts and gaze across to Ireland, Anglesey, Snowdonia and South and Mid Wales. An ancient peat bog, a Site of Special Scientific Interest, is close by, in an area designated of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
