Oriel Plas Glyn-y-Weddw Gallery recently celebrated its centenary-and-a-half making it not only one of Wales' most picturesque art venues but also its oldest. Nestling in the village of Llanbedrog on the Llŷn Peninsula, in an area of outstanding natural beauty, the Gothic styled Mansion was built in 1857 as a Dower house for Lady Elizabeth Jones Parry of the Madryn Estate. Indeed Lady Love Jones Parry's ghost is occasionally seen walking the upper landings.
Attracting over 70,000 annual visitors it was awarded the Gwynedd Business Award for Tourism in 2007. Monthly exhibitions by premier artists from Wales and beyond are a key feature of this venue and many a great artist have exhibited their work at the gallery over the years. Today, you can also enjoy adult and kids art workshops, musical concerts, lectures, craft fairs and many other activities at Oriel Plas Glyn-y-Weddw.
Come and Stay
You can even stay at Oriel Plas Glyn-y-Weddw. The back annexe of the gallery houses a self-catering let that sleeps up to 12 people and it has full disabled access throughout.
This Grade II* Listed Victorian Mansion overlooks the magnificent mountains of Snowdonia and Cardigan Bay and the National Trust owned Llanbedrog beach is only a 2-minute walk away. It is difficult to imagine a more splendid location for a holiday.
