Aberdesach is a small coastal village located on the northwestern coast of Wales in the historic county of Caernarfonshire. Situated approximately 8 miles west of the town of Caernarfon, it is nestled between the Irish Sea to the north and the stunning Snowdonia National Park to the south.

The village is renowned for its picturesque natural beauty, with a sandy beach stretching along its shoreline. The beach, popular among locals and tourists alike, offers breathtaking views of the Llŷn Peninsula and the distant outline of the Isle of Anglesey. The calm waters of the sea make it an ideal spot for swimming, sailing, and other water-based activities.

Aberdesach is a close-knit community with a population of around 200 people. The village is primarily residential, with a range of traditional Welsh cottages and modern houses. It also boasts a small, community-run shop that caters to the daily needs of the locals.

The area surrounding Aberdesach is rich in history and culture. Nearby attractions include the iconic Caernarfon Castle, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the picturesque village of Beddgelert, known for its scenic walks and legends of Prince Llywelyn's faithful dog.

Aberdesach is a peaceful retreat that offers a tranquil haven away from the hustle and bustle of city life. Its stunning coastal location, coupled with its proximity to natural wonders and historical sites, makes it an appealing destination for visitors seeking relaxation and exploration in equal measure.

Clynnog-Fawr Post Office The old post office in Clynnog-Fawr, North Wales, which closed in January 2006. I spoke to the house owner who likes the old metal windows and post box. They wanted to remove the post box but could not replace or repair the metal window.

Y Beuno? This building no longer appears to be "Y Beuno" as the signs have gone, a hotel named after the Saint of that name who had a monastic foundation here. Clynnog was a stop off point on the pilgrimage trail to Bardsey. According to trip adviser it seems to have shut as a hotel in 2013, despite excellent reviews, and now be let as a single unit for family reunions and the like. Perhaps someone local could confirm that.

St Beuno's church, Clynnog-fawr A large and impressive church for a fairly small village, it was once an important stopping point for pilgrims on their way to Ynys Enlli (Bardsey Island).

Eglwys Beuno Sant, Clynnog Fawr The parish church, dedicated to Saint Beuno, which is much larger than would be expected in a village of Clynnog's size. The site is said to be that of a Celtic monastery founded by Beuno in the early 7th century. The church was an important stopping place for pilgrims heading for Bardsey Island and contains Cyff Beuno, an ancient wooden chest hollowed out of a single piece of ash and used to keep alms donated by those on pilgrimages
