The Lleyn Peninsula extends from Snowdonia National Park and stretches 30 miles into the Irish Sea from North Wales. Its landscape is very different from the rest of North Wales ; the mountains drop sheer to the sea but are interspersed by wide bays, rocky coves and great expanses of sandy beach. There are enchanting fishing villages and, inland, white-washed farms and small fields. Populated since the earliest times, Lleyn still bears traces of ancient Man, with Iron Age hill-forts and Neolithic tombs, standing stones and tracks whose origins are lost in Time.
