Local Food & DrinkAbersoch and the wider Llŷn area offers a great range

of places to eat from cosy cafés offering light bites, sandwiches and afternoon teas to traditional pubs

serving all the classics, to award winning restaurants, as well as a great variety of bistros and bars.

Want some food for thought?Restaurants & Cafés - you’ll find Thai, Mexican, Tapas,

Indian, British and Italian all in the centre of Abersoch, you’ll also be spoilt for choice at lunchtime with

several cafés along the High Street. A little further out there are some excellent ‘restaurants with rooms’, as well as a couple of seafood restaurants which really make the most of some of our best local produce. In Pwllheli there’s also a wide choice including Indian, Chinese, Tapas and Italian as well as several small

bistros and cafés.

Pubs - there are plenty of great village pubs just waiting to be explored, most offer food daily:

sandwiches, steaks, burgers, pizza, salads and the usual pub favourites!

Fish ‘n’ chips - for many a seaside holiday is incomplete without a visit to that classic British institution ‘the chippy’; find them in Abersoch,

Aberdaron, Pwllheli, Criccieth, Porthmadog and Nefyn.

Beachfront - a number of our larger beaches have cafés/pubs right on the beach, including

Abersoch, Llanbedrog, Porthor (Whistling Sands) and Porthdinllaen.

Fancy a cheeky drink? - If you want real ales you’ll find those in most of the local pubs, Welsh spirits

and Whisky from the Penderyn distillery are widely available throughout Abersoch, as is Tŷ Gwyn, an excellent Welsh cider, and Cwrw Llŷn, a local beer

brewed in Nefyn, is now found all over the Llŷn. If you fancy something a little more potent Abersoch and

Pwllheli both have cocktail bars too!

”“ Beaches


e have simply miles of beaches here on the Llŷn; from Abersoch’s

famous Main Beach with its higgledy-piggledy 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 (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.

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 . . .

Traethau â mynediad hawdd – Aberdaron, Abersoch (o lithrfa Lôn

Golff), Llanbedrog.

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 syrff io – 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”.

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 onesMost 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.

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.

Hoff i’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 LleiafMae’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.

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!

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.

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?

(Am fwy o wybodaeth am hwylio yn yr ardal: www.pwllhelisailingclub.co.uk, www.scyc.co.uk neu www.plasheli.org )

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!).

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!

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.

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.

Pentref i 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!

Golff


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?

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!

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’.

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!

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 [email protected] to make arrangements or learn more about the service.

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

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. Am fwy o fanylion – www.llwybrarfordircymru.gov.uk

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.

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’.

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.

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.

Spring // Summer // Autumn // WinterWinter 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’.

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.

Gwanwyn // Haf // Hydref // GaeafMae 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.

There are plenty of opportunities for a spot of retail therapy here on

the Llŷn peninsula!

of High Street stores as well as several fantastic independent
