Pwllheli
Pwllheli is a neighborhood and also the main market town of the Llyn Peninsula (Welsh: Penrhyn Llyn) in Gwynedd, north-western Wales. It had a population of 4,076 in 2011 of whom a huge percentage, 81%, are Welsh speaking. Pwllheli is the location where Plaid Cymru was founded. It is the birthplace of the Welsh poet Sir Albert Evans-Jones (bardic name Cynan). Pwllheli has a variety of stores and also various other services. As a local railhead with a market every Wednesday, the town is a gathering point for the population of the entire peninsula. For several years a vacation camp run by Butlins ran a couple of miles from Pwllheli at Pen-y-chain. Throughout the Second World War it ended up being a marine camp, HMS Glendower, and also it ran a hospital for wounded servicemen at Brynberyl on the Pwllheli to Caernarfon road 2 miles out of town. After the war, Butlins re-established the holiday camp. The camp, currently renamed Hafan y Môr ("Haven of the Sea"), has actually been redeveloped as well as is now run by the Haven team.
