Pwllheli
Pwllheli is an area and the primary market community of the Llyn Peninsula (Welsh: Penrhyn Llyn) in Gwynedd, north-western Wales. It had a population of 4,076 in 2011 of whom a big proportion, 81%, are Welsh talking. Pwllheli is the location where Plaid Cymru was founded. It is the birth place of the Welsh poet Sir Albert Evans-Jones (bardic name Cynan). Pwllheli has a series of shops and other solutions. As a local railhead with a market every Wednesday, the community is a gathering point for the population of the whole peninsula. For years a holiday camp run by Butlins ran a couple of miles from Pwllheli at Pen-y-chain. During the 2nd World War it came to be a naval camp, HMS Glendower, as well as it ran a medical facility for damaged servicemen at Brynberyl on the Pwllheli to Caernarfon roadway two miles out of community. After the war, Butlins re-established the holiday camp. The camp, currently relabelled Hafan y Môr ("Haven of the Sea"), has been redeveloped and also is now run by the Haven team.
