Pwllheli
Pwllheli is an area and the major 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 large percentage, 81%, are Welsh speaking. Pwllheli is the area where Plaid Cymru was founded. It is the birthplace of the Welsh poet Sir Albert Evans-Jones (bardic name Cynan). Pwllheli has a range of stores and various other services. As a neighborhood railhead with a market every Wednesday, the community is a gathering point for the population of the whole peninsula. For many 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, and also it ran a medical facility for wounded servicemen at Brynberyl on the Pwllheli to Caernarfon road 2 miles out of town. After the war, Butlins re-established the vacation camp. The camp, currently renamed Hafan y Môr ("Haven of the Sea"), has actually been redeveloped and is currently run by the Haven group.
