LLEYN is the promontory of Carnarvon that serves, with the Pembrokeshire headlands of Strumble and S. David's, to form the Cardigan Bay. It bears a curious resemblance in outline to Cornwall. It has its Land's End at Braich-y-pwll, its Mount's Bay, Porth Nigel, and its Lizard Point at Pencilan. Bardsey may also be assumed as representing the Scilly group. The general aspect of Lleyn is also like that of Cornwall, no trees except in combes, heathery moors, and little ports between rocky crags.
