Pwllheli
Pwllheli is an area and the major 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 proportion, 81%, are Welsh speaking. Pwllheli is the area where Plaid Cymru was founded. It is the native home of the Welsh poet Sir Albert Evans-Jones (bardic name Cynan). Pwllheli has a variety of shops and other services. As a regional railhead with a market every Wednesday, the town is a gathering point for the population of the entire peninsula. For several years a holiday camp run by Butlins ran a couple of miles from Pwllheli at Pen-y-chain. Throughout the 2nd World War it ended up being a marine camp, HMS Glendower, and it operated a hospital for wounded servicemen at Brynberyl on the Pwllheli to Caernarfon roadway two miles out of town. After the war, Butlins re-established the vacation camp. The camp, now renamed Hafan y Môr ("Haven of the Sea"), has actually been redeveloped and also is currently run by the Haven team.
