My favourites beauty spots
My favourite place on the planet!
Amazing sandy beaches stretching for miles with the stunning llandwyn island to explore, not to mention the forest with all the different tracks, great for cycling around.
There is usually a charge to enter the car park (£5) however right now ( end of july) I believe they allow 400 cars into the car park for free, and then shut the gates. If the car park is full you could drive further on to the forest car park and cycle or walk (long) to the beach.

Great place to go for a walk, the ogwen valley or nant ffrancon is a thing of beauty, the natural shape created by the glaciers back in the day. Walk around Llyn ideal, swim, climb higher or just feast your eyes.
Also, the beginning of some more serious mountain climbs begins here, like Tryfan or Pen or ole wen.
