Lleyn Peninsula 
The Lleyn Peninsula (pron. "hleen") was one of the earliest parts of Wales to be settled, with many prehistoric remains, and is one of the strongholds of the Welsh language. It is an area of great natural beauty, with a number of hills, the highest being Yr Eifl ("The Rivals") (1,849ft/564ft) to the northeast. Much of the coastline is rocky, but there are nevertheless a number of small seaside resorts such as Trefor, Nant Gwrtheyrn and Nefyn, Porth Ysgadan, Porth Ychen and Porth Colmon. Porth Oer has an excellent beach, known as the Whistling Sands, because of the noise it makes when walked on.

(Lleyn Peninsula)
The village of LLanstumdwy has a museum devoted to the politician David Lloyd George (1863-1945). Born in Manchester, he spent his childhood at his uncle's house in Llanystumdwy, after the death of his father. He then worked as a lawyer at the slate harbor of Porthmadog, before going to London as the member of parliament for Caernarfon and advancing to become the leader of the Liberal party and finally Prime Minister. During his period of office he carried out important social reforms, following the model of the social security laws of Bismarck in Germany. The museum has a large number of mementos which serve to document the life of this British statesman, who epitomized the Anglo-Welshman. Lloyd George returned in 1944 to the place of his childhood and his grave lies surrounded by oak-trees on the banks of the Dwyfor.
