The Porthmadog / Prenteg area
The small village of Prenteg stands at the foot of the Moel Ddu Mountain, close to Tremadog Bay, and lies besides the beautiful Snowdonia National Park. Renowned today for sightings of Wales’ only pair of nesting Osprey, this area was formally known for its slate and copper mining industries. Four miles away is Glaslyn Estuary, the bustling harbour town of Pothmadog which is a thriving port with an exciting marina and an interesting array of individual shops and restaurants, it is also home to the historic Ffestiniog Railway. Near the picturesque village of Borth-y-Gest is Black Rock Beach and with its pretty cliffs and coves make this area an idyllic way to spend a day. Another must see is the Italianate village of Portmeirion. This, coupled with the medieval castles at nearby Criccieth, Harlech and Caernarfon and along with the many excellent cycling and walking opportunities that are all within striking distance makes Snowdonia and the Lleyn Peninsula a fabulous place to spend an interesting and excitingly different holiday destination.
