Llanbedrog
yw un o ganolfannau pwysicaf Llŷn, y wlad
baradwysaidd honno y tu draw i fynyddoedd
Eryri. Mae'n enwog am ei thraeth cysgodol
yng nghesail y pentir uchel creigiog â'i
wisg o rug a phinwydd ar ei ymyl.
Yn
ogystal â chael ei gydnabod yn
un o draethau mwyaf cysgodol gogledd
Cymru, mae'n ddigon posibl fod y ffordd
tuag ato wedi ei ddarllunio'n amlach
nag unrhyw fan arall yn Llŷn oherwydd
ei harddwch neilltuol. Prynwyd y traeth
gan yr Ymddiriedolaeth Genedlaethol yn
2000.
Bydd
y traeth yn denu ymwelwyr yn eu miloedd
bob blwyddyn, ond mae gan y plwyf ei hun
lawer o gyfleusterau eraill i'w cynnig
hefyd. Ymhlith y rhain y mae pysgota ar
y môr ac ar yr afon, hwylio a merlota.
Fe geir digonedd o ddewis i'r rhai hynny
sy'n mwynhau cerdded, ond nid oes dwywaith
mae'r olygfa fwyaf trawiadol yw honno a
geir o ben Mynydd Tir y Cwmwd gerllaw'r
pentref.
Ceir
un o'r golygfeydd gorau o Fae Ceredigion
o Tremfan Hall a fu unwaith yn gartref
i John Gwenogfryn Evans, yr ysgolhaig enwog.
Dylid
sôn hefyd am hinsawdd yr ardal. Mae
penrhyn Llŷn yn debyg i ynys, a'r môr
yn golchi ei lannau ar dair ochr, ac mae
hefyd ar ymyl llif cynnes y Gwlff. Mae
lleoliad cysgodol Llanbedrog yn rhoi iddi'r
gorau o ddau fyd. Mae cefn gwlad Llŷn yn
ardal sy'n llawn hanes a chysylltiadau â hen
chwedlau, a'r Gymraeg yma'n brif iaith.
Mae i Llŷn ei chymeriad arbennig ei hun
a phrin y ceir unman yn ynysoedd Prydain â golygfeydd
mor brydferth. |
LLanbedrog
is one of the key centers of the unique
Lleyn Peninsula, a demi paradise tucked
away beyond the mighty mountains of Snowdonia.
It is especially renowned for its sheltered
sandy beach nestling under a steep rocky
headland covered with picturesque heather
and fringed by pine trees.
Llanbedrog
beach is not only recognized as the most
sheltered in North Wales but the breathtaking
beauty of the approach road has probably
been painted and photographed more often
than any area in this peninsula of unforgettable
scenery. The beach was bought by the
National Trust in 2000.
Whilst
the beach is a mecca to thousands of holidaymakers
annually the parish of Llabedrog has many
other facilities to offer. These include
sea and river fishing sailing and boating
and pony trekking. For those who enjoy
walking there is an abundant choice but
unquestionably the most stunning spectacle
of all is the panoramic view from the top
of the local mountain, Mynydd Tir y Cwmwd.
Equally
impressive is the view of Cardigan Bay
from Tremfan Hall, which was home at one
time to John Gwenogfryn Evans, one of the
foremost scholars of early Welsh literature.
The
climate is also worthy of special mention.
This is mainly because the peninsula resembles
an island, engulfed on three sides by the
sea, and it is also situated on the edge
of the Gulf Stream. And the exceptionally
sheltered position of Llanbedrog gives
it the best of both worlds. The hinterland
of Lleyn is a district rich in historical
associations and legends, with scenery
that is unparalleled in the whole of the
British Isles, scenery that will live vividly
in the memory of the thousands that visit
it annually, Indeed Lleyn, where the Welsh
language is predominant, has a ' foreign'
atmosphere which may be enjoyed without
the expense and inconvenience of going
abroad. |
