Pwllheli
Plaid Cymru, the Welsh nationalist party, was founded in Pwllheli, a tiny market town on the southern coast of the Llŷn Peninsula in north-west Wales. The town sits on the water, with two sandy beaches and a marina that hosts sailing regattas, and a central core of shops and cafés. It also serves as the peninsula's main railhead and holds a Wednesday market, drawing the surrounding area's population. Welsh is spoken by a large majority of residents, making it one of the language's strongholds.
