The geological prolongation of Snowdon, the remote Llŷn Peninsula, with untamed landscapes and a picturesque coast, is one of the heartlands of Welsh identity. To delve into the region, go to Criccieth or the popular seaside resort of Pwllheli. On your travels, don't miss the Lloyd George Museum, which is housed in the childhood home of the former statesman (1863-1945) in Llanystumdwy, nor the lovely Plas-yn-Rhiw Gardens.
