Creuddyn Peninsula

Creuddyn peninsula seen from near Llanddulas

Creuddyn Peninsula is the geographical term for a small peninsula in the county borough of Conwy in Wales. 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 medieval commote (an administrative unit within a cantref) roughly corresponding to the peninsula itself, though somewhat larger.[1]

The population of the peninsula including the towns mentioned above is around 38,000, making it very densely populated.

The Welsh-medium secondary school Ysgol y Creuddyn is situated on the peninsula.
