Pwllheli Caravan Holidays and Holiday Parks
The town has one of the largest percentages of Welsh speakers in its population but from our point of view here at CaraHols, it is the fantastic caravan holiday park that resides in the town that makes it stands out as well as the stunning natural beauty of the area which includes an idyllic coastline and views of Snowdonia.
Whilst perfect for relaxing and enjoying the peace and quiet of the coast, Pwllheli is also well placed for exploring the region including direct road access to the nearby Porthmadog and Caernarfon whilst the town has a small train station with local services and longer services to England.

Pwllheli Caravan Holidays
When it comes to caravan holidays in Pwllheli it is very similar to buying property as it is all about location, location and location.
With no museums, no theme parks and only a small town centre, if you are looking for a busy hub to holiday at, Pwllheli is perhaps not the right choice for you but if you want a base to simply relax, enjoy coastal walks and take in beautiful scenery, Pwllheli is perfect.
On the flip side to that, the town is also home to one of the biggest caravan holiday parks in the UK which offers an all action experience amidst the peace and quiet of the Welsh coast.
Pwllheli Attractions
The key attraction of Pwllheli is Pwllheli itself. The small town sits on the idyllic Llyn Peninsula in north-west Wales, on the edge of the Snowdonia National Park on the on the Welsh Irish Sea coast.
The coast can be best explored along the Llyn Coastal Path which offers a steady walk along the coast and which links a number of beaches.
Popular beaches include the Llanbedrog Beach, the Traeth Glan-y-Don Beach and Porth Lago- a coved beach great for spending time together slightly sheltered from the sea breeze.
Whilst thrills and spills are in short supply in and around the resort, you can feed your need for speed at the Glasfryn Parc go-kart track.
For those looking to take in the history of the area the stately home at Plas Glyn y Weddw has been turned into an art gallery with a popular café but you can also walk around the house and grounds.
Penarth Fawr is a medieval house whilst the natural harbour in Pwllheli features a war memorial statue.
Location
Pwllheli is located midway along the south coast of the Llyn Peninsula, to the west of Porthmadog and within a short drive of the A487, which makes the town easy to reach for holidaymakers and easy to explore the region.
Transport
Pwllheli is just a short drive from the A487 which links to the A55, North Wales Expressway to the North, the A470/A5 to the West and the A478 to the South, which makes it straightforward to reach the town from all parts of Wales and England although the lack of motorways in Wales does make it sometimes a long winded trip by road.
There is a small railway station in Pwllheli that is on the Cambrian Coast Railway. To line continues onto Machynlleth. The line continues on Shrewsbury and Birmingham which makes Pwllheli easy to reach for those coming from the English Midlands via rail.
Out and About
As a small town, most visitors to Pwllheli will look to use it as a base for exploring all that north-west Wales has to offer and whilst the road network makes that straightforward, if not time consuming for those looking to explore via car, for a truly memorable exploration of the region, we would recommend taking the train.
Whilst services can be infrequent, so make sure you pick up a timetable and research online before you go, the Cambrian line that runs through Pwllheli is one of the most scenic in the UK.
From Dovey Junction to Pwllheli, the line is known as the Cambrian Coast Line and it is no surprise why as the line follows to beautiful coastline of the Llyn Peninsula with great views of the Irish Sea and the Cambrian Mountains.
Along the line you cross the River Mawddach by Barmouth Bridge, with Barmouth been one seaside resort you can stop off and visit. Other popular stopping points include Porthmadog (where you can join the Ffestiniog Railway and the Welsh Highland Railway) as well as the town of Aberystwyth.
There is lots more to see and do in Porthmadog other than the 2 heritage narrow gauge railways that tend to dominate day trippers plans. The town has a good choice of shops, bars, cafes and restaurants for it’s size and the beautiful natural harbour that the town sits on is well worth exploring.
Sitting on the northern tip of Cardigan Bay, there is always the possibility to spot dolphins from any part of the coast but a trip to Porth Neigwl, one of the areas top beaches, makes for a great family day out no matter if you see one of the beautiful sea mammals or not.
