Welcome to Abersoch and the beautiful Llŷn Peninsula: officially an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and a treasure of a place to locals and visitors alike.

Tourists first began to visit here around the turn of the last century and although much has changed since then the essence of Llŷn remains the same; an area very much dominated by its landscape, a magical mix of unspoilt countryside, majestic mountains and miles of stunning coastline, with a rich maritime history and an ancient and beautiful language which is still very much alive today.

Here in Abersoch we’re so proud of the area in which we live and work we want everyone to know just what a special place it is! Many visitors holiday here year after year, often returning to the same campsites, B&Bs or holiday cottages. You’ll know the first time you visit Llŷn whether you’ll become one of these people; you’ll know if you’re falling in love with the area, with the landscape, the atmosphere and the very soul of the place. If you feel the magical pull of the Llŷn then we know you’ll be back, again, and again . . . and again!

Take a look through this guide and see what this beautiful area has to offer, we’ve compiled a detailed listing of places to eat, stay, shop and explore as well as lots of info on places to visit, beaches, history and local events.

Croeso i Abersoch a Pen Llŷn, ardal arbennig sydd wedi ei dynodi yn swyddogol yn Ardal o Harddwch Naturiol Eithriadol, a lle a drysorir gan drigolion lleol ac ymwelwyr fel ei gilydd.

Dechreuodd twristiaid ymweld gyntaf tua troad y ganrif ddiwethaf ac er y newidiodd llawer ers hynny, deil hanfod Llŷn yr un fath; ardal sydd wedi ei hamlygu’n fawr gan ei thirwedd, cymysgedd hudol o gefn gwlad digyffwrdd, mynyddoedd mawreddog a milltiroedd o arfordir trawiadol, sydd â hanes morwrol cyfoethog ac iaith hynafol a phrydferth sy’n dal i ffynnu heddiw.

Yma yn Abersoch, rydym mor falch o’r ardal ble gweithiwn a byw, hoffem i bawb wybod yn union pa mor arbennig ydy’r lle! Daw llawer iawn o ymwelwyr yma ar eu gwyliau flwyddyn ar ôl blwyddyn, yn aml yn dychwelyd i’r un gwersyll, gwely a brecwast neu fythynnod gwyliau. Byddwch yn gwybod yn ystod eich ymweliad cyntaf â Llŷn a fyddwch eisiau bod yn un o’r bobl hyn; byddwch yn gwybod os ydych yn syrthio mewn cariad â’r ardal, tirwedd, awyrgylch ac enaid y lle. Os teimlwch fod swyn Llŷn yn eich denu yn ôl, yna gwyddom y byddwch yn ôl, eto ac eto . . . ac eto!

Edrychwch trwy’r arweinlyfr hwn i gael gweld yr hyn a gynigia’r ardal brydferth hon: rydym wedi llunio rhestr fanwl o leoedd bwyta, aros, siopa a darganfod, yn ogystal â llawer o wybodaeth am leoedd i ymweld â nhw, traethau, hanes a digwyddiadau lleol.

Beachfront - a number of our larger beaches have cafés/pubs right on the beach, including Abersoch, Llanbedrog, Porthor (Whistling Sands) and Porthdinllaen.

Beaches

when I’m totally free, on holiday, “ I look my bestwalking ” on the beach.

e have simply miles of beaches here on the Llŷn; from Abersoch’s famous Main Beach with its higgledypiggledy row of huts along the dunes, to the windswept surfer’s dream of Hell’s Mouth and the beautiful, wild expanse of Aberdaron overlooking the holy island of Bardsey. We are truly spoilt for choice so whatever you’re looking for, there’s sure to be a beach to suit you not too far away. Here’s a run-down of some of our favourite local beaches . . .

Easy access beaches - Aberdaron, Abersoch (from the golf road slipway), Llanbedrog Best for families - Llanbedrog, Abersoch Main beach, Abersoch Warren beach, Porthor

~Rosamund Pike

(Whistling Sands), Porthdinllaen; these beaches are fairly sheltered with shallow waters and good facilities.

Surf beaches - Porth Neigwl (or ‘Hell’s Mouth’) is the go to beach for surfers on the Llŷn, although both Porth Ceiriad and Porthor (or ‘Whistling Sands’) are good options for surfing and body-boarding.

‘Hidden’ beaches - Porth Ceiriad is a large, sandy beach which is easily accessed from

the water but requires a short walk from the clifftop car park and down steep steps to reach on foot. There are no facilities at this beach and it is considerably quieter than most in the area. One of Llŷn’s smallest beaches is Porth Bach, or ‘Sixpenny Bay’, an idyllic secluded cove just below Bwlchtocyn headland which is only accessible to the public via boat.

Dog friendly beaches - most of the beaches in the area are very welcoming of our four-legged friends (and there are plenty of doggy litter bins around too) however some of the busiest beaches operate dog free zones from 1st April to 30th September. Good beaches for dogs include Llanbedrog, Porth Neigwl (Hell’s Mouth), Porth Ceiriad and Morfa Nefyn, (for a list of dog exclusion zones visit www.gwynedd.gov.uk and search ‘dog control’).

Much of this little corner of Wales is designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and we want to keep it that way!

So please be considerate when you’re visiting any of our lovely beaches, be careful not to drop anything in the water, take all your rubbish and recycling home with you and if you have a dog, please, please ‘scoop that poop’! Areas such as ours only remain unspoilt if we take care not to spoil them so, as the saying goes, take only memories and leave only footprints.

12 // Abersoch Guide 2015

Y gorau i deuluoedd – Llanbedrog, Borth Fawr, Traeth Castellmarch (Warren, Porthor, Porthdinllaen); mae’r rhain yn draethau gweddol gysgodol gyda dŵr bas a chyfleusterau da.

Traethau syrffio – Porth Neigwl yw’r prif draeth i syrffwyr Llŷn, er bod Porth Ceiriad a Phorthor yn ddewisiadau da ar gyfer syrffio a chorff-fyrddio.

Traethau ‘cudd’ – mae Porth Ceiriad yn draeth mawr tywodlyd gyda mynediad hawdd o’r môr ond, mae angen cerdded ychydig o’r maes parcio ar ben y clogwyn a lawr grisiau serth i’w gyrraedd ar droed. Nid oes unrhyw gyfleusterau ar y traeth hwn ac mae gryn dipyn tawelach na’r rhan fwyaf yn yr ardal. Un o draethau lleiaf Llŷn yw Porth Bach, sef bae bychan diarffordd a pharadwysaidd dan benrhyn Bwlchtocyn; dim ond â chwch y gall y cyhoedd ei gyrraedd.

Traethau cyfeillgar i gwn – mae’r rhan fwyaf o’r traethau yn yr ardal yn groesawgar iawn i’n cyfeillion pedair coes (ac mae yna ddigon o finiau baw cŵn o gwmpas hefyd). Fodd bynnag, mae rhai o’r traethau prysuraf yn gweithredu parthau gwahardd cŵn o Ebrill 1af tan Fedi 30ain. Mae traethau Llanbedrog, Porth Neigwl, Porth Ceiriad a Morfa Nefyn yn rhai da i gŵn (ceir rhestr o barthau gwahardd cŵn dan ‘Rheoli Cŵn’ ar y wefan www.gwynedd.gov.uk).

Dynodwyd llawer o’r gornel fach hon o Gymru yn Ardal o Harddwch Naturiol Eithriadol ac rydym eisiau ei chadw felly! Os gwelwch yn dda, byddwch yn feddylgar wrth ymweld ag unrhyw un o’n traethau hyfryd, gofalwch beidio â gollwng unrhyw beth i’r dŵr, ewch â’ch holl ysbwriel a deunyddiau ailgylchu gartref gyda chi ac, os oes gennych chi gi, os gwelwch yn dda, codwch ei faw! Deil ardaloedd fel un ni heb eu difetha, wrth i ni ofalu amdanynt, felly, yn ôl y dywediad, “ewch â’ch atgofion yn unig ac ond gadael eich olion traed”.

Traethau

Mae gennym filltiroedd o draethau yma yn Llŷn; o’r enwog Borth Fawr yn Abersoch gyda’i resi blith-draphlith o gytiau ar hyd y twyni, i baradwys gwyntog syrffwyr ym Mhorth Neigwl ac ehangder gwyllt, prydferth Aberdaron sy’n edrych dros ynys sanctaidd Enlli. Mae yma gymaint o ddewis felly, am beth bynnag yr ydych yn chwilio, mae’n sicr bod yna draeth sy’n addas i chi heb fod yn rhy bell i ffwrdd. Dyma restr fer o rai o’n hoff draethau lleol . . .

// 13

Local Activities You can be as active as you choose to be on a Llŷn holiday as there is a seemingly endless list of things to do in the local area.

Want to get wet?

If you want to get out on the water then you couldn’t be in a better place as you’re never far from the sea here on the Llŷn. Surfing, sailing*, bodyboarding, wakeboarding, water skiing, paddle-boarding, kayaking, powerboating and windsurfing are all popular and there are a number of schools who offer instruction in many of these activities as well as offer equipment hire. During the summer months the sea is warm enough for swimming and it is safe to swim off many of our beaches.

Naturally fishing is also popular, you can book a spot on a fishing trip or if you have your own boat simply drop a line - at the right time of year it’s almost impossible not to catch mackerel!

More of a land lover?

If the water isn’t for you then don’t worry, there’s still plenty to get stuck in to. Choose from shooting, cycling, walking*, horse riding, golf*, go-carting, Segway, quadbiking, hovercrafting, paintballing, or an adventure day such as the Bear Grylls survival course in Llanystumdwy.

For the little ones

14 // Abersoch Guide 2015

Most children like nothing more than a day at the beach, paddling, rock-pooling and building sandcastles, but if they fancy a change try the Rabbit Farm, pottery painting, ten-pin bowling, or a little further afield the Welsh Mountain Zoo, Anglesey Sea Zoo, Greenwood Forest Park, Slate Caverns or Electric Mountain. (*see our sailing, walking and golf feature pages)

Ar wyliau yn Llŷn gallwch fod mor egnïol ag yr hoffech fod gyda rhestr ddi-ddiwedd o bethau i’w gwneud yn yr ardal.

Eisiau gwlychu?

Os ydych eisiau mynd ar y dŵr, rydych yn y lle gorau gan nad ydych byth yn bell o’r môr yma. Mae syrffio, hwylio*, byrddio corff, ‘wakefyrddio’, sgïo dŵr, padlo-fyrddio, caiacio, cychod pŵer a hwylfyrddio yn boblogaidd ac mae amryw o ysgolion yn cynnig gwersi mewn llawer o’r gweithgareddau yma, yn ogystal â llogi offer. Yn ystod misoedd yr haf, mae’r môr yn ddigon cynnes i nofio ynddo ac mae llawer o’r traethau yn ddiogel.

Hoffi’r tir yn well?

Os nad yw gweithgareddau dŵr yn eich plesio, peidiwch â phoeni, mae dal digonedd i’w wneud. Dewisiwch o saethu, beicio, cerdded*, marchogaeth, golffio*, certio, Segway, beiciau cwad, peli paent neu ddiwrnod antur megis Cwrs Goroesi Bear Grylls yn Llanystumdwy.

I’r Plant Lleiaf

Mae’r rhanfwyaf o blant yn hapus eu byd ar y traeth yn chwarae ym mhyllau dŵr y creigiau, padlo ac adeiladu cestyll tywod. Ond, os hoffent wneud rhywbeth newydd a gwahanol, mae Fferm Gwningod, paentio a thaflu pot, bowlio deg ac ychydig ymhellach mae’r Sŵ Fynydd Gymreig, Sŵ Fôr Môn, Gelli Gyffwrdd, ceudyllau chwareli neu Fynydd Gwefru. (* gwelwch ein tudalennau ar hwylio, cerdded a golffio)

he Llŷn peninsula, once a collection of small fishing and farming villages, has a long maritime history; many families were generations of fishermen or sea captains and the area was also a centre for boatbuilding.

The Llŷn Maritime Museum in Nefyn is a great place to explore this history with videos, artefacts and interactive displays offering a glimpse into the area’s rich heritage.

Also part of an ancient pilgrim route, the peninsula boasts many beautiful, historic churches including Edern, Llanbedrog, Llanengan, Llangian and St Hywyn’s in Aberdaron, last stop on the pilgrim trail before the once treacherous boat trip across the Sound to Ynys Enlli, the holy island of Bardsey. Today you can take your own pilgrimage with a walk along the Wales Coast Path or a boat trip to the enchanting island.

The National Trust look after long stretches of the coastline as well as inshore heathland areas. They are keen to educate and in Aberdaron you’ll find the Trust’s ‘Porth y Swnt’ visitor centre. The centre offers an insight into the history and culture of the Llŷn, starting with two lines of poetry from one of the area’s most famous residents (and one time vicar of St. Hywyn’s), Welsh poet RS Thomas. The trust also own the charming manor house of Plas yn Rhiw as well as the old fishing village of Porthdinllaen, where there is a great little ‘cabin’ with a wealth of information on the village’s history as well as current conservation projects.

If you want to explore the culture of the area further try a visit to Nant Gwrtheyrn, a remote former quarrying village on the North coast of the peninsula which is now a Welsh language centre. The village is home to a heritage centre where visitors can learn about the Welsh language and culture along with the history of the village. The old cottages have been converted and are now mainly used for the centre’s residential language courses, ‘Quarryman’s Cottage’ however has been recreated as a period house open to visitors. ‘The Nant’ is an enchanting place with an almost palpable sense of history and is a truly beautiful place to visit.

There is so much to explore and discover in the area that one trip may not be enough! Other places of interest include the Lloyd George museum in Llanystumdwy, Oriel Plas Glyn y Weddw in Llanbedrog, Iron Age hill fort at Tre’r Ceiri, the Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland Railways and the famous village-resort of Portmeirion near Porthmadog - you could even use your journey to or from the Llŷn to explore the castles at Caernarfon, Criccieth or Harlech. One thing’s for sure, if you have an interest in history or culture you’ll never be short of things to do here on the Llŷn!

ae gan Ben Llŷn, a fu unwaith yn gasgliad o bentrefi pysgota a ffermio bychain, hanes morwrol gwerthfawr; roedd amryw o deuluoedd yn genedlaethau o bysgotwyr neu gapteiniaid môr a bu’r ardal yn ganolfan adeiladu llongau.

Mae’r Amgueddfa Forwrol Llŷn yn Nefyn yn lle gwych i ddarganfod yr hanes hwn trwy ffilmiau, arddangosfeydd rhyngweithiol a chelfi sy’n rhoi cipolwg ar dreftadaeth cyfoethog yr ardal.

Hefyd, fel rhan o lwybr hynafol y Pererinion, mae Llŷn yn ymfalchïo yn ei heglwysi hanesyddol hardd, sy’n cynnwys Edern, Llanbedrog, Llanengan, Llangian a Sant Hywyn yn Aberdaron, sef yr arhosbwynt olaf cyn croesi’r Swnt peryglus i Ynys Enlli, yr ynys sanctaidd. Heddiw, gallwch fynd ar bererindod eich hun drwy gerdded Llwybr yr Arfordir neu fynd ar daith cwch i’r ynys hudolus.

Mae’r Ymddiriedolaeth Genedlaethol yn gwarchod milltiroedd o’r arfordir, yn ogystal â rhostiroedd gyda’r glannau. Mae’n awyddus i addysgu’r cyhoedd ac mae Porth y Swnt, Canolfan Ymwelwyr yr Ymddiriedolaeth, yn Aberdaron.

Cynigia’r ganolfan gipolwg ar hanes a diwylliant Llŷn, gan gychwyn â dwy linell o farddoniaeth un o drigolion enwocaf yr ardal (a Ficer Eglwys Sant Hywyn ar un adeg), sef R.S.Thomas, y bardd Eingl-Gymreig. Hefyd, mae’r Ymddiriedolaeth yn berchen ar blasdy bychan swynol Plas yn Rhiw, yn ogystal â phentref pysgota Porthdinllaen, ble mae ‘cwt’ bach yn llawn gwybodaeth am hanes y pentref, ynghyd â’r prosiectau cadwraeth cyfredol.

Os hoffech ddarganfod mwy am ddiwylliant yr ardal, beth am ymweld â Nant Gwrtheyrn, hen bentref chwarel Fictorianaidd diarffordd ar arfordir gogleddol Llŷn sydd nawr yn Ganolfan Iaith Gymraeg Genedlaethol. Mae’r pentref nawr yn gartref i ganolfan treftadaeth ble caiff ymwelwyr gyfle i ddysgu am yr iaith Gymraeg a’i diwylliant, ynghyd â hanes y Nant. Adnewyddwyd yr hen fythynnod yn lety ar gyfer preswylwyr y cyrsiau Cymraeg yn bennaf, ond ailgrëwyd Bwthyn y Chwarelwr fel tŷ cyfnod sydd ar agor i ymwelwyr. Mae’r Nant yn le gwirioneddol hudolus â bron yn synnwyr teimladwy o hanes ac yn fan prydferth dros ben i ymweld ag o.

Mae cymaint i’w ddarganfod yn yr ardal, fel na fydd un ymweliad yn ddigon! Lleoedd eraill o ddiddordeb yn yr ardal yw Amgueddfa Lloyd George yn Llanystumdwy, Oriel Plas Glyn y Weddw yn Llanbedrog, Tre’r Ceiri, y gaer o Oes yr Haearn, Rheilffyrdd Ffestiniog ac Ucheldir Cymru a phentref enwog Portmeirion ger Porthmadog. Medrwch, hefyd, ymweld a darganfod hanes rhai o’r cestyll lleol yng Nghaernarfon, Cricieth neu Harlech ar eich taith i neu o Lŷn. Mae un peth yn sicr, os oes gennych ddiddordeb mewn hanes neu ddiwylliant, mae digon i’ch diddori yn Llŷn!

Rhaid mynd tu hwnt i lyfrau gwersi, a mentro allan i’r llwybrau ym mhellafoedd dwfn sydd heb eu cerdded a theithio a chrwydro a dweud wrth y byd am hyfrydwch ein taith.99

Sailing

herever you are on the Llŷn you’ll almost certainly be close to the sea - naturally this proximity to the water has made the peninsula a real destination for sailing and water-sports enthusiasts. Abersoch in particular is a popular choice for sailing; the St Tudwals islands offer shelter from prevailing winds making Abersoch bay a good choice for children and first timers as well as for experienced sailors who might prefer to venture further offshore.

The South Caernarvonshire Yacht Club (SCYC) runs an extensive calendar of competitive sailing events from May to August, including the ever popular Dinghy Week and Keelboat Week. During the summer months you’ll see plenty of boats moored off Abersoch main beach and during Dinghy Week the beach itself is home to hundreds of visiting boats!

Of course sailing is not confined to Abersoch - Pwllheli also has a very active sailing club which offers some of the most competitive National, European and World Championships. Nefyn, on the northern side of the peninsula, also has a sailing club which runs a month long program of competitive multi-class races throughout August and all three clubs have a regular calendar of social events ashore!

Learn to sail - there are opportunities to learn to sail with a sailing school based right on the beach in Abersoch and Pwllheli Sailing Club also being an RYA Onboard Training Centre. The waters off Pwllheli and Abersoch offer ideal conditions for beginners and a beautiful environment in which to learn with a spectacular mountain backdrop and often surprisingly good weather thanks to the Gulf Stream.

A testament to the area’s status in the sailing world is Plas Heli, the exciting new Welsh National Sailing Academy and Events centre that opens in Pwllheli this summer. The events hosted by Plas Heli this year begin with the Optimist Europeans on 11th July and include the Optimist Nationals, 29er Nationals and Worlds; IRC Welsh National Championships and Fireball Worlds. Pwllheli is also home to the All Wales Boat Show 2015, a ‘celebratory festival of all water-based activities’ which offers a huge range of exhibitors, events and ‘have a go’ activities and is an exciting new addition to the Llŷn events calendar.

So why is this area so special when it comes to sailing?

The Llŷn offers a beautiful stretch of coastline to explore, uncrowded waters, stunning scenery, which includes the majestic Snowdonia, as well as a wealth of coastal wildlife to enjoy, including the opportunity to regularly see seals and even dolphins up close - need we go on!

Felly pam fod yr ardal hon mor arbennig ar gyfer hwylio?

Mae Llŷn yn cynnig arfordir prydferth ac amrywiol i’w ddarganfod: moroedd â digon o le, golygfeydd gwych sy’n cynnwys mynyddoedd mawreddog Eryri, yn ogystal â chyfoeth o fywyd gwyllt morol i’w fwynhau gyda chyfle i weld morloi, llamhidyddion a dolffiniaid yn gyson – a oes angen dweud mwy?

Hwylio

le bynnag yr ydych yn Llŷn, byddwch yn sicr o fod yn agos at y môr – yn naturiol mae ei agosrwydd wedi gwneud Pen Llŷn yn ardal wych ar gyfer selogion hwylio a chwaraeon dŵr. Mae Abersoch, yn benodol, yn ddewis poblogaidd ar gyfer hwylio; mae Ynysoedd Sant Tudwal yn cynnig cysgod oddi wrth wyntoedd sy’n gwneud Bae Abersoch yn ddewis gwych i blant, pobl sy’n newydd i hwylio, yn ogystal â hwylwyr profiadol sydd, efallai, eisiau mentro ymhellach o’r lan.

Mae Clwb Hwylio De Sir Gaernarfon (SCYC) yn cynnal rhaglen eang o ddigwyddiadau hwylio cystadleuol rhwng misoedd Mai ac Awst, gan gynnwys yr wythnosau Dingi a Chelfad hynod boblogaidd. Yn ystod misoedd yr Haf, gwelwch ddigonedd o gychod wedi’u hangori oddi ar Borth Fawr ac yn ystod Wythnos Dingi mae’r traeth ei hun yn gartref i gannoedd o gychod sy’n ymweld!

Wrth gwrs, nid yw hwylio wedi ei gyfyngu i Abersoch – mae gan Bwllheli glwb hwylio prysur sy’n cynnig pencampwriaethau cystadleuol Cenedlaethol, Ewropeaidd a Byd. Mae Clwb Hwylio Nefyn, ar ochr ogleddol Llŷn, yn cynnal rhaglen o rasus aml-ddosbarth drwy gydol mis Awst ac mae gan y tri chlwb ddigwyddiadau cymdeithasol rheolaidd ar y lan!

Dysgwch sut i hwylio – mae yna gyfleoedd o ddysgu sut i hwylio yn yr Ysgol Hwylio ar y traeth yn Abersoch ac mae Clwb Hwylio Pwllheli yn Ganolfan Hyfforddi Onboard RYA. Mae’r dŵr sydd o amgylch Pwllheli ac Abersoch yn cynnig amodau gwych ac amgylchedd prydferth i ddysgu ynddo i ddechreuwyr gyda chefndir mynyddoedd syfrdanol a thywydd da gyda diolch i Lif y Gwlff.

Yn dyst i statws yr ardal yn y byd hwylio mae Plas Heli, y ganolfan newydd gyffrous, Academi Cenedlaethol Hwylio Gymreig, a agora ym Mhwllheli yn ystod yr haf. Dechreua digwyddiadau eleni â’r Optimist Ewropeaidd ar Orffennaf 11eg a fydd yn cynnwys yr Optimist Cenedlaethol, 29er Cenedlaethol a’r Byd; Pencampwriaethau Cenedlaethol IRC Cymru a’r Fireball Byd. Mae Pwllheli hefyd yn cynnal Sioe Gychod Cymru Gyfan 2015, sef ‘gŵyl i ddathlu’r holl weithgareddau dŵr’ fydd yn cynnwys llu o arddangoswyr, digwyddiadau a chyfle i gael tro ar rai gweithgareddau dŵr eich hun; mae’n ychwanegiad cyffrous iawn at galendr digwyddiadau Llŷn.

Local Places to Stay There are so many beautiful villages hidden away on the Llŷn peninsula that deciding where to stay can be quite a tough choice! Abersoch is the largest of these villages and the most popular ‘resort’ with shops, bars and restaurants aplenty, several beautiful beaches and all the necessary amenities. However, there are many other charming villages in the surrounding area, each with their own character, and of course the small market town of Pwllheli.

There has been much development recently and Pwllheli now offers an increasing range of shops and restaurants and from this summer will boast the new Welsh Sailing Academy, Plas Heli. Further along the coast Criccieth and Porthmadog are both good bases from which to explore the wider area.

Best for sailors - choose from Abersoch or Pwllheli which both hold a number of sailing events, or Llanbedrog which is roughly a half way point between the two. Nefyn is also a good choice.

Best for surfers - Llanengan and Rhiw (close to Hell’s Mouth), Aberdaron (close to Porthor), or Bwlchtocyn/Cilan (close to Porth Ceiriad).

Close to Abersoch - if you’d like to be close to Abersoch’s amenities but not

quite in the village itself choose from Llanbedrog, Mynytho, Sarn Bach, Bwlchtocyn, Llanengan and Llangian, all of which are within a few miles of Abersoch and several of which are within easy walking distance (Welsh weather permitting!).

24 // Abersoch Guide 2015

Best for evenings out - stay in central Abersoch and you’ll have plenty of restaurants, pubs and bars to choose from (and no need to pay for a taxi).

Pwllheli also offers plenty of restaurants, bars and even a small cinema/ theatre.

Quieter villages - choose from Llangian, Llanengan (still within easy reach of Abersoch), Boduan (central, so a good base for exploring the peninsula) and Morfa Nefyn (with its own beautiful beach and a choice of pubs).

There’s also a wide choice of accommodation - camping, caravanning, B&Bs, hotels, self-catering - whatever you’re looking for you should be able to find it here on the Llŷn. Choose from boutique hotels for a romantic weekend, large self-catering properties for family get-togethers or a campsite for the classic British summer holiday - for something a bit different you can even stay in a Hobbit, a posh ‘camping pod’ with heating, lights and electric sockets!

Y gorau i hwylwyr - cewch ddewis rhwng Abersoch neu Bwllheli, gan eu bod yn cynnig nifer o ddigwyddiadau hwylio neu Llanbedrog sydd tua hanner ffordd rhwng y ddau le. Mae Nefyn yn ddewis da hefyd.

Y gorau i syrffwyr - mae Llanengan a’r Rhiw (nepell o Borth Neigwl), Aberdaron (nepell o Borthor) neu mae Bwlchtocyn/Cilan (ger Porth Ceiriad).

Agos at Abersoch - os hoffech fod yn agos at Abersoch ond, nid yng nghanol y pentref ei hun, dewiswch rhwng Llanbedrog, Mynytho, Sarn Bach, Bwlchtocyn, Llanengan a Llangian; maent i gyd o fewn ychydig filltiroedd i Abersoch a nifer yn ddigon agos i gerdded (yn ddibynnol ar y tywydd Cymreig wrth gwrs!).

Y gorau am nosweithiau allan - arhoswch yng nghanol Abersoch a chewch ddigon o ddewis o fwytai, tafarndai a bariau (ac ni fydd angen talu am dacsi!). Mae Pwllheli hefyd yn cynnig digon o fwytai, bariau a, hyd yn oed, sinema bychan.

Pentrefi tawelach - dewisiwch rhwng Llangian, Llanengan (dal yn agos at Abersoch), Boduan (canolig, felly’n le da i grwydro Pen Llŷn) a Morfa Nefyn (gyda’i draeth prydferth ei hun a dewis o dafarndai).

Mae hefyd dewis eang o lety – gwersylla, carafanio, gwely a brecwast, gwestai, hunan-arlwyo – mae’n bosibl dod o hyd i bopeth ym Mhen Llŷn. Dewisiwch rhwng gwestai ‘boutique’ am benwythnos rhamantus, eiddo mawr hunan-arlwyo ar gyfer y teulu oll neu beth am faes gwersylla ar gyfer gwyliau Prydeinig go iawn! Am rywbeth ychydig yn unigryw, gellwch aros mewn Hobbit neu ‘bod gwersylla’ gyda gwres, goleuadau a thrydan!

of H rte sy ou to C Ph o

Mae amryw o bentrefi tlws cudd ym Mhen Llŷn sydd yn gwneud dewis ble i aros yn benderfyniad anodd! Abersoch yw’r mwyaf ohonynt, a’r mwyaf poblogaidd, gyda dewis eang o siopau, tafarndai a bwytai a nifer o draethau bendigedig a’r amwynderau angenrheidiol. Fodd bynnag, mae llawer o’r pentrefi eraill gerllaw yn brydferth hefyd, i gyd â chymeriad ei hun ac, wrth gwrs mae Pwllheli, y dref farchnad.

Bu llawer o ddatblygu ym Mhwllheli yn ddiweddar ac mae nawr yn cynnig mwy o ddewis o siopau a bwytai ac, o ganol yr Haf yma bydd yn ymffrostio wrth agor yr Academi Hwylio Cymreig, sef Plas Heli.

Ymhellach ar hyd yr arfordir mae Cricieth a Phorthmadog, dwy ardal dda i aros ynddynt er mwyn crwydro’r ardal.

Abersoch boasts its own extremely well regarded course and there are four further courses all within easy reach, which each offer the visiting golfer stunning views of the Llŷn’s beautiful coastline.

All five Golf Clubs (Abersoch, Pwllheli, Nefyn & District, Porthmadog and Criccieth) are well established, most having being founded around 1900 with several of the courses designed, at least in part, by renowned Scottish golf architect James Braid.

So, what’s so special about these courses in particular?

Abersoch - a challenging and scenic course offering a mix of links and parkland golf, suitable

~Robert Lynds

for all abilities. The Golf Club is located in the heart of Abersoch and the course laid out along the dunes just yards from Abersoch Main beach. This course was recently voted the 17th best course in Wales by Golf Monthly magazine!

Pwllheli - Pwllheli was founded in 1900 and offers a mix of links and tree-lined parkland that will challenge even the best of golfers. Located on the south facing coastline of Cardigan Bay the course boasts spectacular views over the bay towards Snowdonia.

Nefyn & District - this has to be considered a ‘must play’ course for any serious golf enthusiast. Its stunning clifftop location offers simply breath-taking views and its unique 27 hole layout allows visitors the choice of playing The Old or The New courses (or indeed, both!). The Old course includes 9 holes on the recently reopened world famous ‘Point’, described as ‘a narrow peninsula with fairways and tees perched above secluded coves . . . on one side and sandy beaches on the other’.

Porthmadog - a mix of heathland and classic links with several testing holes this course is described by former Ryder Cup player and Captain, Brian Huggett, (an honorary member of the Club) as a ‘hidden gem’.

Criccieth - an elevated hill top course offering excellent fairways in tranquil surroundings. One of the Criccieth Golf Club’s founding members was none other than David Lloyd George, who played at the club regularly and is known to have spent one afternoon here with Winston Churchill and Andrew Bonar Law.

Penrhos -There is also a 9 hole ‘pay and play’ at Penrhos which offers the complete beginner a chance to have a go. Penrhos also has a 15 bay driving range, great for practicing your swing or just a fun afternoon for the complete novice!

Pwllheli - sefydlwyd Cwrs Golff Pwllheli yn 1900 ac mae’n cynnig cymysgedd o lincs a pharcdir coediog a heria hyd yn oed y golffwyr gorau. Wedi’i leoli ar arfordir Bae Ceredigion sy’n wynebu’r de, ymffrostia’r cwrs olygfeydd ysblennydd dros y bae at Eryri.

Nefyn a’r Cylch - mae’n rhaid i’r cwrs hwn gael ei ystyried yn un hanfodol i’w chwarae gan unrhyw olffiwr brwdfrydig. Mae’i leoliad trawiadol ar hyd gelltydd y môr yn cynnig golygfeydd syfrdanol ac mae ei gynllun 27-twll unigryw yn caniatáu i’r ymwelydd ddewis chwarae’r Hen neu’r Cwrs Newydd (neu’r ddau hyd yn oed!). Mae’r Hen Gwrs yn cynnwys naw twll ar ‘Y Pwynt’ byd-enwog, a ddisgrifiwyd fel ‘penrhyn cul ble chwaraeir ar leiniau a lawntiau uwchlaw’r môr, gyda phentiroedd creigiog a chilfachau ar un ochr a thraethau tywod ar y llall’.

Porthmadog - cymysgedd o rostir a lincs clasurol gyda nifer o dyllau anodd. Disgrifiwyd y cwrs hwn gan Brian Huggett, cyn-chwaraewr a chapten Cwpan Ryder (aelod anrhydeddus o’r Clwb) fel ‘trysor cudd’.

~Robert Lynds

Abersoch - cwrs heriol a golygfaol sy’n cynnig cymysgedd o golff lincs a pharcdir, sy’n addas ar gyfer pob lefel o allu. Lleolir y Clwb Golff yng nghanol Abersoch a gosodwyd y cwrs ar hyd y twyni, lathenni’n unig o Borth Fawr. Pleidleisiwyd y cwrs hwn yn ddiweddar yn 17eg cwrs gorau yng Nghymru gan y cylchgrawn Golf Monthly!

ae Pen Llŷn yn ardal ddelfrydol i bobl sydd â diddordeb mewn chwarae golff. Mae gan Abersoch gwrs golff ei hun a ystyrir yn un da ac mae pedwar cwrs arall o fewn cyrraedd, pob un yn cynnig golygfeydd trawiadol o arfordir prydferth Llŷn.

Mae pob un o’r pump Clwb Golff (Abersoch, Pwllheli, Nefyn a’r Cylch, Porthmadog a Chricieth) wedi eu hen sefydlu; sefydlwyd y rhan fwyaf ohonynt tua 1900 gyda nifer o’r cyrsiau wedi’u cynllunio, yn rhannol o leiaf, gan y pensaer golff enwog o’r Alban, James Braid.

Felly, beth sydd mor arbennig am y cyrsiau hyn?

Cricieth - mae’r cwrs yma ar y bryniau yn cynnig ffyrdd teg rhagorol mewn amgylchoedd tawel. Un o aelodau-sylfaenwyr Clwb Golff Cricieth oedd neb llai na David Lloyd George; chwaraeai yn y clwb yn rheolaidd a dywedir iddo dreulio prynhawn yma gyda Winston Churchill ac Andrew Bonar Law. Penrhos - Mae yna hefyd gwrs 9-twll ‘talu a chwarae’ ym Mhenrhos, sy’n cynnig cyfle i ddechreuwr llwyr roi cynnig arni. Hefyd ym Mhenrhos, ceir maes ymarfer gyda 15 bae, sydd yn wych ar gyfer ymarfer eich ‘swing’ neu i’r newyddian dreulio prynhawn o hwyl!

Walk

f you love the outdoors then you’ve come to the right place - the Llŷn peninsula, with its unspoilt countryside, miles of coastline and close proximity to Snowdonia is the perfect place to get out in the fresh air and explore. Whatever your age or ability there will be a route to suit you so make sure you pack your walking boots!

Guided walks - the Abersoch Walking Group meet most Tuesday mornings at 10am

outside Rowlands Chemist (check the Tourist Information for actual dates). The walks are led by trained walk leader Jean Lancaster and last roughly 2 hours. All are welcome and the group will always walk to the slowest pace so don’t be afraid to go along and join them! The National Trust also hold a number of guided walks with the opportunity to learn about conservation, wildlife and local history along the way for details visit www.nationaltrust.org.uk/llyn-peninsula.

Coastal path - the Wales Coast Path is an amazing 870 miles of uninterrupted coastal footpaths from Chepstow in the south to Queensferry in the north.

On the Llŷn much of this path runs along the old ‘pilgrims’ way’, taking in historic churches, museums, areas of archaeological significance, picturesque coastline, enchanting fishing villages and view after stunning view! The coastal path really is a treat, whether you choose to walk your way around the tip of the peninsula, opt for a North Wales walking holiday or simply stroll from one beach to the next - just follow the blue and yellow circular signs. For more details visit www. walescoastpath.gov.uk.

‘O Ddrws i Ddrws’ - this bus service which runs three days a week (Tuesday, Thursday & Sunday) between Nefyn, Aberdaron and along the Llŷn coastline to Abersoch, is designed to encourage people to get out walking by picking up and dropping off along the coastal path route. The service also makes attractions such as Menter y Felin Uchaf, Porth y Swnt and the Llŷn Maritime Museum much more accessible to those without their own transport. The bus costs just £1 (free to those with a bus pass!) and will divert from its regular route to pick you up, particularly useful if you’re staying slightly off the beaten track.

All you need to do is call 24 hrs before you’d like collecting to arrange a time and pick up point - contact Angela on 01758 721777 or email oddrwsiddrws@yahoo.co.uk to make arrangements or learn more about the service.

s hoffwch fod yn yr awyr agored yna, rydych wedi dod i’r lle iawn – Penrhyn Llŷn gyda’i gefn gwlad digyffwrdd, milltiroedd o arfordir a’i agosatrwydd at Eryri yn ddelfrydol, lle gwell gewch chi awyr iach a chyfleoedd gwych i ddarganfod. Beth bynnag eich oed neu allu, bydd llwybr addas i chi felly, cofiwch ddod â’ch esgidiau cerdded!

Teithiau Tywys – mae Grŵp Cerdded Abersoch yn cyfarfod am 10 y bore o flaen y Fferyllfa bob bore Mawrth (holwch yn y Swyddfa Dwristiaeth am yr union ddyddiadau). Arweinir y teithiau gan Jean Lancaster, a hyfforddwyd fel arweinydd teithiau tywys, ac maent fel rheol yn parhau tua dwy awr. Mae croeso i bawb, a bydd y grŵp wastad yn dilyn cerddediad yr arafaf felly, nid oes angen ofni ymuno! Mae’r Ymddiriedolaeth Genedlaethol hefyd yn cynnal amrywiaeth o deithiau tywys gyda chyfleoedd i ddysgu am warchodaeth, bywyd gwyllt a hanes lleol ar hyd y ffordd – ceir mwy o fanylion ar www.nationaltrust.org.uk/llyn-peninsula Llwybr yr Arfordir – mae Llwybr Arfordir Cymru yn 870 milltir o lwybrau ddi-dor o Gas-gwent yn y De i Y Fferi Isaf (Queensferry) yn y Gogledd. Ym Mhen Llŷn, dilyna llawer o’r llwybr hwn hen Lwybr y Pererinion, gan fynd heibio eglwysi a chapeli hanesyddol, amgueddfeydd, ardaloedd o bwysigrwydd archeolegol, arfordir prydferth, pentrefi pysgota hudol a golygfeydd gwych di-ddiwedd! Mae Llwybr yr Arfordir yn werth chweil i un ai gerdded o amgylch y Penrhyn, dewis gwyliau cerdded yng Ngogledd Cymru neu, hyd yn oed, grwydro o un traeth i’r llall – dilynwch yr arwyddion crwn glas a melyn.

Fe’i dyluniwyd i annog cerddwyr fynd allan i gerdded drwy eu codi a’u gollwng ar hyd taith Llwybr yr Arfordir. Mae’r gwasanaeth hefyd yn hwyluso gwneud atyniadau megis Menter y Felin Uchaf, Porth y Swnt ac Amgueddfa Forwrol Llŷn yn llawer mwy hygyrch i’r rhai sydd heb gludiant eu hunain. Mae’r bws yn costio £1 (am ddim i’r rhai sydd â thocyn bws!) ac yn fodlon dargyfeirio i’ch codi, defnyddiol iawn os arhoswch mewn lle anghysbell.

If you’re lucky enough to own a second home in the area you’ll appreciate how great it is to be able to enjoy regular holidays in your favourite getaway location or escape for a weekend away at the drop of a hat!

However you’ll also have the task of looking after a home that you’re often absent from. Luckily there are lots of local companies who can help with that so if you don’t want the hassle of maintaining two houses let someone lend a hand; there are painters and decorators, gardeners, cleaners, window cleaners and general handymen aplenty, and even caretaker companies that will check your house, collect your post and put your bins out!

If you’re planning on refurbishing or restyling then there are also a number of interiors experts who will gladly visit your holiday home or chalet to give advice and help you style it - some can even run you up bespoke curtains, cushions, blinds and other soft furnishings.

Lavender House

A ally Tot ber

Part vibrant holiday destination and part tranquil, evocative and timeless landscape, the Llŷn peninsula has countless qualities. For many, ‘Abersoch’ is synonymous with summer; the beach, the water, sunny days and good times. But Abersoch is (believe it or not!) about more than just ‘the season’; activities such as walking, cycling and fishing can be enjoyed all year round and more and more businesses in the village and surrounding areas are staying open 12 months of the year, making Abersoch very much ‘a village for all seasons’.

h soc

Spring // Summer // Autumn // Winter Make the most of the lengthening days and get out and about before the area gets too busy; enjoy peaceful walks and bike rides, celebrate St. David’s Day with the Abersoch Spring Festival, (a celebration of all things Welsh and a good opportunity for little ones to dress up!) and look out for Easter activities such as the National Trust Easter Egg Hunts.

As temperatures start to rise a steady catch of herring, dabs, flounder and rays give fishermen a taste of what’s to come.

The majority of the area’s camping and caravan sites reopen on March 1st.

44 // Abersoch Guide 2015

For most people summer on the Llŷn is about one of two things - the beach and the sea! For sun worshippers and watersports lovers summer is the time to be here - this is also a perfect time for young families as kiddies will love nothing more than a week spent on the beach. Join in the National Trust’s beach based activity days, or book your stay for Abersoch Regatta Week to enjoy a whole week of beach fun! Warm summer evenings lend themselves to leisurely walks, BBQs or even fishing - summer brings sporting fun from mackerel, bass, tope and Pollack caught from boat or beach.

September and October are ideal times to visit; much quieter than the lively summer months but still warm enough to enjoy the outdoors.

Get outside during the day (dogs are allowed on all beaches again by October) and in the evening take advantage of the excellent range of restaurants and bars, which can be very hard to get into during the busy summer months! For keen fishermen the warm settled weather of Autumn ensures an improvement in the quality of catches of fish such as bass, huss and tope.

Winter is becoming an increasingly popular time to visit, why not get away from the hustle and bustle of the high street and enjoy Christmas shopping in peace in Abersoch’s wide range of shops?

Come and enjoy the magical atmosphere of the Abersoch Christmas Festival Weekend at the end of November - great fun for all the family! Take bracing walks along the near empty beaches and spend cosy afternoons by the fire. As the water temperatures decrease good catches of codling, coalfish and whiting can be had for the hardy angler!

Mae gan Llŷn amryw o rinweddau, fel cyrchfan wyliau bywiog a thangnefeddus ond hefyd fel tirlun hanesyddol hardd. I amryw o bobl, mae ‘Abersoch’ gyfystyr â’r haf; y traeth, y môr, dyddiau heulog ac amseroedd da. Ond, mae Abersoch (coeliwch neu beidio!) yn fwy na dim ond ‘y tymor’; gellir mwynhau gweithgareddau megis cerdded, beicio a physgota drwy gydol y flwyddyn ac mae mwyfwy o fusnesau yn y pentref a’r cylch yn aros ar agor ddeuddeng mis o’r flwyddyn, yn gwneud Abersoch yn ‘bentref i bob tymor’.

Gwanwyn // Haf // Hydref // Gaeaf Gwnewch yn fawr o’r dyddiau hir ac ewch allan cyn i’r ardal brysuro’n ormodol; mwynhewch deithiau cerdded tawel a beicio, dathlwch Ddydd Gŵyl Dewi gyda Gŵyl Wanwyn Abersoch (dathliad o bopeth Cymraeg a chyfle i’r plantos wisgo fyny!) ac edrychwch am weithgareddau’r Pasg megis Helfa Wyau’r Ymddiriedolaeth Genedlaethol. Fel mae’r tymheredd yn dechrau codi, mae dalfa gyson o bennog, lledod a chathod môr yn rhoi blas o’r hyn sydd i ddod i bysgotwyr!

Mae mwyafrif y meysydd pebyll a charafannau yn ailagor ar Fawrth 1af.

I’r mwyafrif, golyga’r haf yn Llŷn un o ddau beth – y traeth a’r môr! I’r rhai sy’n addoli’r haul a charu chwaraeon dŵr, dyma’r amser i fod yma! Mae’n amser perffaith i deuluoedd ifanc â phlant fwynhau treulio wythnos ar y traeth.

Ymunwch â dyddiau gweithgareddau traeth Yr Ymddiriedolaeth Genedlaethol neu archebwch eich llety ar gyfer wythnos Regata Abersoch i fwynhau wythnos llawn hwyl ar lan y môr. Mae nosweithiau cynnes yr haf yn cynnig eu hunain i fynd am droeon hamddenol, barbaciw neu, hyd yn oed, bysgota – daw’r haf â digon o hwyl dal mecryll, draenogod y môr, morgwn gleision a’r morlas oddi ar gwch neu’r traeth.

Mae misoedd Medi a Hydref yn amser delfrydol i ymweld; tipyn tawelach na misoedd bywiog yr haf ond, dal yn ddigon cynnes i fwynhau’r awyr agored. Ewch allan yn ystod y dydd (caniateir cŵn ar bob un o’r traethau erbyn mis Hydref) a gyda’r nos manteisiwch ar yr ystod gwych o fwytai a bariau, sy’n gallu bod yn anodd yn ystod misoedd prysur yr haf! I bysgotwyr brwdfrydig, mae tywydd cynnes yr Hydref yn sicrhau gwelliant yn ansawdd y dalfeydd pysgod megis draenogod y môr a’r morgwn gleision.

Mae ymweld yn ystod y Gaeaf yn dod yn fwyfwy poblogaidd, gan roi cyfle i ddianc o brysurdeb siopau’r Stryd Fawr a mwynhau siopa Nadolig mewn heddwch yn amrywiol siopau Abersoch.

Dewch i ymuno ag awyrgylch hudol penwythnos Gŵyl y Nadolig Abersoch ar ddiwedd mis Tachwedd – hwyl i’r teulu oll! Ewch am dro iachusol ar hyd y traethau gwag a threuliwch brynhawniau cysurus o flaen y tân. Wrth i dymheredd y dŵr ostwng, mae cyfle gwych i bysgotwyr gwydn ddal penfras ifanc, celogiaid a morwyniaid.

Retail Therapy There are plenty of opportunities for a spot of retail therapy here on the Llŷn peninsula!

Abersoch is well known for its many clothes shops, boasting a number of High Street stores as well as several fantastic independent shops selling everything from posh wellies to sparkly flip-flops, designer swimwear, ethically made and sourced clothing and of course the ever-popular Abersoch branded hoodies, vests and t-shirts.

But it’s not just clothes: accessories are taken care of with scarves, sunglasses, umbrellas, beach towels, gorgeous jewellery, handbags, purses, rucksacks, beach bags - you name it, Abersoch’s got it!
