Creuddyn Peninsula
The Creuddyn Peninsula is the geographical term for a small peninsula on the north coast of Caernarfonshire. It includes the town of Llandudno, plus Rhos-on-Sea, Deganwy, Penrhyn Bay and Llandudno Junction. The Great Orme lies at the end of the peninsula, and nearby is the Little Orme.
The area is usually called simply Y Creuddyn, being the Welsh name of the hundred roughly corresponding to the peninsula itself.[1]
There are several hills of around 300 feet in height, including Bryn Euryn, Bryn Pydew, Mynydd Pant, Coed Gaer, Bryniau, and Deganwy Castle. The Great Orme reaches 679 feet, and the Little Orme 463 feet.
The population of the peninsula is around 38,000, making it very densely populated.
The secondary school Ysgol y Creuddyn is named after and situated on the peninsula.
