Y Felinheli Area Guide
You will find Y Felinheli nestled amongst the Welsh mainland and on the edge of the Menai Strait in the county of Gwynedd. The village has become increasingly desirable in recent years making it a highly sought after location, and it's easy to see why with all it has to offer. From its spectacular sea and countryside views to its stunning harbour, Y Felinheli is a great place to call home.
For those of you with a young family, there is one primary school (Ysgol Y Felinheli) which has around 200 pupils. It situated in an elevated position, so the school run will likely consist of a short uphill walk! But don’t worry, the views alone will make it worth it! However, if you are looking to pursue fitness, health and well-being, The Unit Performance Gym in Y Felinheli will be able to offer you exactly that. There is a local Londis convenience store on the main high street which offers all of your everyday essentials, such as grocery items, fresh produce and most importantly confectionery and alcohol.
Everything you need is right on your doorstep and it is conveniently situated between Caernarfon & Bangor with easy access to the A55 making any work commute super easy.
Garddfon Inn is a wonderful example of a traditional Welsh pub. Sitting right on the banks of the Menai Strait, this family-run business will welcome you with delicious food along with fine ales and wines.
But for anyone who wants to keep it simplistic and absorb the beautiful welsh nature, grab a bag of chips from Chans Fish & Chip shop and set up on the seafront to enjoy the spectacular sunsets overlooking the Isle of Anglesey.
