Happy Holidays In Abersoch
Since 1962 I have always been to Abersoch at least once a year if not two three or four times!!
In the early years we always stopped in a flat over the cowsheds at Tyn y Mur farm. ( These have now been beautifully converted - in our day there was no bath room and an outside loo!!)It was farmed by Mr and Mrs Olwyn Jones. Mr Jones was a lay preacher as well as a farmer and Mrs Jones was a nurse at the hospital in Pwllhelli. I could not believe it when I found this photo as there is Mrs Jones and her lovely Triumph Herald parked outside the newsagents .Happy Days!!

Tyn-a-don Farm/ Llanengan
The first time I stayed at Tyn-a Don farm I was about 6, I fell in love with the place straight away. I remember we borrowed a tent from a friend of the family who took us there that first time. The kids of today would be horrified at what we had to last us for the whole 2 weeks we stayed. My sister and I could only take 1 bat and ball, (for French cricket), a board game each, 1 pack of cards and a book.
We would spend most of the time in the sea and climbing the rocks. Back then the beach was mostly sand, but now it has turned to shingle, but this does not detract from ...read more here

Extracts From Abersoch & Gwynedd books
This former fishing village, situated on the south coast of the Lleyn Peninsula, now hosts boats of a much more upmarket kind. In the 19th century there were active leadmines in the area at Llanengan which also used the harbour to ship out. At the time of this photograph, visitors had realised what a beautiful location this was and how good the sailing could be, but had made few intrusions en masse. This changed as the village became increasingly anglicised and is now very popular with visitors.
