THE LLŶN PENINSULA
The Llŷn Peninsula is an area of outstanding beauty and interest, but don’t take our word for it - look for yourself!
The following links, web sites and local places are presented in good faith, may be interest and are all relatively close to Cae’r Efail.
Firstly the Gwynedd Council site is excellent, log on and search for activities, tourism and you will be spoilt for choice

“Delightful manor house with ornamental garden and wonderful views”
Plas Newydd, Llanfairpwll, Anglesey LL616DQ, Telephone: 01248714795
Home of the Marquis of Anglesey, with spectacular views of Snowdonia, one of the UK’s finest mansion house settings, large gardens, woodland walks and a marine walk along the Menai Straits and military museum with relics from Waterloo
Penrhyn Castle, Bangor, Gwynedd LL574HN, Telephone: 01248353084
“19th-century fantasy ‘castle’ with spectacular contents and grounds, magnificent views over Snowdonia, unique furniture collection and the best private art collection, in context, in Wales”
Porthor - The tranquil sandy coastline of Porthor is a must if you’re in this part of the world. A 3ml path from the beach will take you to the high headlands and cliffs at Anelog. From here on a clear day you can see Snowdonia, Anglesey and even Ireland. The beach at Porthor is known as the Whistling Sands, due to the squeaking noise the sand makes underfoot.

National Slate Museum, Llanberis, Gwynedd,LL55 4TY, Tel: +44 (0)1286 870630
The Museum building is sited in the Victorian workshops built in the shadow of Elidir mountain, site of the vast Dinorwig quarry. Not so much a museum as a pocket of history, it is as though the quarrymen and engineers have only just put down their tools and left the courtyard for home.
