The LL49 postcode has some lovely beaches and wonderful views of Snowdonia and the Rhinogs and lots of attractions. The pointy mountain you can see from GZ is Cnicht.
From Wiki: Porthmadog came into existence after William Madocks built a sea wall, the Cob, in 1810 to reclaim a large proportion of Traeth Mawr and plans for a road from London to his proposed port at Porthdinllaen. this created a new natural harbour, deep enough to harbour and build small ocean-going sailing ships, particularly three-masted schooners known as Western Ocean Yachts, the last of which was built in 1913.
Tremadog was built on land reclaimed from Traeth Mawr and was designed to create the impression of a borough, with the Town Hall and Dancing Room at its centre. Industry was also included in the plan, with several mills all worked by water power.
Borth-y-Gest is a lovely village with a sheltered bay, sandy coves and cliffs. Ships were built here before Porthmadog was established and pilot houses were built at the mouth of the harbour so that pilots could keep a watch for ships needing them. There is a yearly pilot's boat race.
