Perched on a headland with sweeping views over Cardigan Bay, Criccieth Castle is a blend of history and scenery. Built by the Welsh and shaped by centuries of drama, this ruin is bursting with tales to tell. Wander the crumbling walls, imagine battles long past, and don’t forget your camera - the views are legendary! 

Stretching for nearly 4 miles along the Llŷn Peninsula, Porth Neigwl is the go-to spot for surfers, sunset seekers, and wild beach lovers. Known as Hell’s Mouth for its dramatic sweep of coastline and big waves, it’s the place to catch a break - or just breathe in that fresh sea air. No fuss - just raw, natural beauty and plenty of room to roam.

If you’re in the mood for some classic Welsh charm, make a beeline for Llanbedrog’s Glyn y Weddw Arms! Here, a toasty fire keeps things cosy during winter, and outdoor seating for golden days. A little further up the road you’ll find the community-run pub, The Ship, with tasty treats, wood-burning stoves, and a medley of games and puzzles to brighten up your afternoons.

Being right on the edge of Eryri National Park (Snowdonia) means you’re perfectly placed for adventures. From peaceful woodland strolls to dramatic mountain hikes, there’s always a new trail to tackle and a view to fall in love with. So go on, lace up those walking boots, the mountains are calling!

Planning a grand holiday feast? The Spar at Llanbedrog is your go-to for all the basics. But, for a full-blown grocery haul, head to the town of Pwllheli! It’s where you will find big-name stores for stocking up everything!
