Information about Penmaenmawr, UK
Penmaenmawr is a town in the parish of Dwygyfylchi, in the county borough of Conwy, Wales, population about 2,500. It is a seaside resort and quarrying town, though the latter is no longer a major employer, on the North Wales Coast between Conwy and Llanfairfechan.
The town was bypassed by the A55 Expressway in the 1980s, losing its fine old Edwardian period promenade in the process, which was largely replaced by a modern and still popular one. Penmaenmawr is noted for its spectacular mountain and coastal walks. Nearby are the popular attractions of Bwlch Sychnant (Sychnant Pass) and Mynydd y Dref, and the town also lies partly within Eryri, the Snowdonia National Park.
Most of the town lies on a small coastal plain about 2 miles in length and half a mile deep facing Conwy Bay and the Irish Sea to the north. The bay is sheltered by the south-east tip of Anglesey and Ynys Seiriol (Puffin Island) to the north-west and the limestone headland of Pen-y-Gogarth (the Great Orme) to the north-east. The sea is shallow here between Traeth Lafan and the Conwy estuary. The beach is extensive, consisting of smooth pebbles and a wide expanse of sand. Two impressive headlands separate Penmaenmawr from its neighbours. In the west the huge bulk of Penmaen-mawr (English- large headland?)lies between the town and neighbouring Llanfairfechan and the wider coastal plain extending to Bangor. To the east the smaller but no less rugged headland of Penmaen-bach (small head?) divides Penmaenmawr from Morfa Conwy (Conwy Morfa). To the south an arc of hills and uplands extends east to west from the latter to Penmaen-mawr, beginning with Yr Allt Wen above Dwygyfylchi, Bwlch Sychnant (the old road crosses this pass to Conwy), Pen-sychnant, the rounded hill of Foel Lys, Gwddw Glas (Green Gorge), Bryn Derwydd and the head of Cwm Graiglwyd and finally Penmaen-mawr itself. Penmaenmawr is very wooded and also has a fair number of fields. The coastal plain itself is nearly divided by Trwyn-yr-Wylfa, which also marks the boundary between Pant-yr-afon and Penmaenan in the west and the "Hen Bentra'" or "Old Village" of Dwygyfylchi and Capelulo in the east. Finally two small rivers flow through the area. The first, Afon Pabwyr, runs down from wooded Cwm Graiglwyd then under the town centre, Pant-yr-afon, to the beach; the second and larger, Afon Gyrrach, runs for about 4 miles from the northern slopes of Tal-y-Fan to the sea near Penmaen-bach, passing through Nant Ddaear-y-llwynog (The Fairy Glen) and the "Old Village".
