Vacations!
As young parents along with our two daughters we would spend many happy vacations in Pwllheli. Mostly at Butlins Holiday Camp. So many happy memories, arriving at the camp, hoping we would get Blue Camp as it was closer to the amusements and the tennis courts. The times we would visit the Pwllheli Market. So many happy memories of Pwllheli. Even now to this day we still talk about those happy days. Both our daughters are grown up now with children of their own so perhaps one day they might take their own children to show them Pwllheli.

Picton Castle
I lived in Picton Castle,and as a thirteen year old, I delighted to throw plums off our tree down into the playground of Troed Y Allt school,and watch the scramble of the children take place! It was whilst we lived there that the entire walls were covered with stone pieces, and I would enjoy jumping off the scaffold onto a big heap of sand. Happy days indeed.

Extracts From Pwllheli & Gwynedd books
Pwllheli possesses perhaps the finest sandy beach in Wales; and there can be no doubt it will become one of the most attractive seaside places in the kingdom. The air is delightful, and the sanitary arrangements all that could be desired. The South Beach Land and Building Corporation Limited are building very extensively; and hotels, boarding and private houses are now being erected very rapidly.
