There are currently 4 locations in this directory beginning with the letter Y.
Y Felinheli, GwyneddThe village of Y Felinheli sits on the south-eastern side of the Menai Strait, around 7.5 km (4.5 miles) to the south-west of Bangor. It is well-known for its pleasure marina, which houses yachts and sailboats within a harbour overlooked by modern townhouses. A high street runs through the village, flanked by terraced houses, a fish and chip shop and a convenience store. A cosy pub named the Garddfon Inn overlooks the strait.
Yarmouth, Isle of WightThe small town of Yarmouth is perched near the western end of the Isle of Wight, facing onto the large waters of the Solent. It is a charming market town, with a cluster of townhouses and cottages that flank a network of streets. Yarmouth has an old world feel to it, with stone buildings, an old church and a couple of rustic pubs in the town centre. It is a rather bustling place, with cafes, restaurants and shops located here. Yarmouth Harbour, a marina filled with yachts and sailboats, a pier, and a ferry terminal, all lie next to the town. A visit to the town would not be complete without seeing Yarmouth Castle, a Tudor fortress that overlooks the Solent – it is open to the public, and provides a picnic area that faces onto the water.
Yaverland, Isle of WightLocated just to the northeast of Sandown, the village of Yaverland is a quieter settlement, with a holiday park, a sailing club and a beach café. A lovely shore of golden sand borders the village – the beach runs up from Shanklin and towards the chalk cliffs at Culver Down, a large headland that juts out into the English Channel. Dinosaur fossils can be found on the beach beneath the cliffs. The Wildheart Animal Sanctuary is located in the village, and houses a range of wild cats and Madagascan animals, including many endangered species.
Ynyslas, CeredigionBordered by a lovely sandy beach, and the large Twyni Bach dune system, the small Welsh village of Ynyslas is well-located for quiet and scenic coastal landscapes. It is situated just to the south of Aberdyfi, near to the southern side of the River Dovey estuary. As well as the pleasant coastal landscape, the village is surrounded by a large marshy promontory, and is located a few miles from the rolling hills of west Wales. Ynyslas is a quiet settlement, with a few houses and a couple of camping and caravan sites.
