Rhiw
Discover one of the richest areas of archaeological remains on Llŷn. The Tan y Muriau burial chamber and the ‘double ringwork’ hilltop enclosures provide a glimpse into how people lived on the peninsula thousands of years ago.
Pistyll
This quaint church nestled in a small valley was founded in the sixth century, originally being a place of respite and solitude for Beuno, a tireless missionary. It was later a hospice for pilgrims travelling to Bardsey. Artefacts include a 12th-century font and the remains of a medieval wall painting.
Porthdinllaen
For centuries, this small village has been an important link between the people of Llŷn and the sea. Famous for its herring fishing, this special place connected the peninsula with the rest of the world through its imports and exports.
From the Iron Age fort on the headland to the grand idea of turning the harbour into the main port en route from London to Dublin at the turn of the 18th century, to the prolific shipbuilding and fishing industries which flourished during the 19th century, many signs of the area's interesting past can still be discovered today.
