- This category leads to websites for the county borough of Gwynedd in North West of Wales,
- which includes the highest peak in Wales, Snowdon at 3,560 feet (1,085 metres).
- Two thirds of the population speak Welsh, a greater percentage than any other county.
- The name Gwynedd, is taken from the ancient Kingdom of North Wales since the Roman withdrawal,
- when led by Cunedda Wledig, from which the name Gwynedd is derived.
- The name was resurrected in 1996, following the division of Wales into its 22 unitary authorities, and applied
- to the smaller area, mainly from the ceremonial counties of Caernarvonshire and Merionethshire.
- The most northern part of the kingdom, is now the unitary authority Isle of Anglesey,
- leaving the north west boundary along the Menai Strait, between Bangor and Caernarfon.
- Gwynedd extends into the Irish Sea, along the Lleyn Peninsula, represented by Nefyn on
- its north coast, to Bardsey Island off the coast from Aberdaron.
- From the west, along the south coast are Abersoch, Pwllheli & Porthmadog.
- South across the mouth of Afon Dylif from Porthmadog is the west coast of old county
- of Merionethshire, represented by Harlech.
- Gwynedd extends along the west coast, south to Aberdovey, where the mouth of
- the Dovey separates the county from Ceredigion at Abersoch, Pwllheli & Borth.
- Inland the Dovey forms the boundary with Powys at Machynlleth, through the Dyfi Forest
- and including Bala to the boundary at Glan-yr-afon, before Denbighshire at Corwen.
- Then northwest, the boundary with Conwy County Borough, envelops Blaenau Ffestiniog,
- Llanberis and Bethesda, before reaching the north coast between Llanfairfechan and Bangor.
