Gwynedd in northwest Wales is situated north of Ceredigion and south of the Isle of Anglesey. The county encompasses the lovely Lleyn Peninsula and Cambrian coast, with attractive seaside resorts and award-winning beaches. Inland is Snowdonia National Park, with spectacular scenery and Snowdon, the highest mountain in England and Wales. Gwynedd celebrates beauty and the diverse iconic sites that include mountains, animals, culture, and history. Gwynedd is known for its natural beauty and varied famous places, such as mountains, woodlands, rivers, and the coast and sea. The Menai coast and the lowlands of the picturesque Lleyn Peninsula, a famous tourist destination, are located north of the Alps. These lowlands have been occupied from prehistoric times, as evidenced by prehistoric dolmens, stone rings, and standing stones. The county’s most populous area is Caernarfon and Bangor, along the Menai Strait. Tourists travel to Caernarfon to see its castle, which was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1986 together with other defences erected by Edward I. Gwynedd is truly a county that exemplifies Wales beautifully.
