Llŷn Peninsula
The Llŷn Peninsula ((ウェールズ語:Penrhyn Llŷn ''or'' Pen Llŷn), (:ɬɨːn)) extends into the Irish Sea from north west Wales, south west of the Isle of Anglesey. It is part of the modern county and historic region of Gwynedd. Much of the eastern part of the peninsula, around Criccieth, may be regarded as part of Eifionydd rather than Llŷn, although the boundary is somewhat vague. The area of Llŷn is about 400 km2 (150 sq miles), and its population is at least 20,000.
Historically, the peninsula was travelled by pilgrims en route to Bardsey Island (Welsh: ''Ynys Enlli''), and its relative isolation has helped to conserve the Welsh language and culture, for which the locality is now famous. This perceived remoteness from urban life has lent the area an unspoilt image which has made Llŷn a popular destination for both tourists and holiday home owners. Holiday homes remain a bone of contention among locals, many of whom are priced out of the housing market by incomers. From the 1970s to the 1990s, a shadowy group known as Meibion Glyndŵr claimed responsibility for several hundred arson attacks on holiday homes using incendiary devices, some of which took place in Llŷn.
The Llyn Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty covers c. 160 square kilometres.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=ahne-llyn-aonb.org )〕
== Etymology ==
The name Llŷn is also sometimes spelled ''Lleyn'', although this spelling is now less common and is generally considered to be an anglicisation. The name is thought to be of Irish origin, and to have the same root''Laigin'' (''Laighin'') in Irishas the word Leinster and which also occurs in Porth Dinllaen on the north coast.〔Owen, H.W. & Morgan, R. 2007 ''Dictionary of the Place-names of Wales'' Gomer Press, Ceredigion〕
