Britain By Car - A Motoring History

Gwynedd

An area of north-west Wales, named after the Kingdom of Gwynedd, the largest and most powerful of the early kingdoms of Wales. 

Today it covers the counties of Anglesey, Caernarvonshire, and parts of Merionethshire and Denbighshire. 

The mainland is generally mountainous, with many lakes, and much of it lies within the Snowdonia National Park.
