The former county of Gwynedd, including the Isle of Anglesey
Gwynedd is an area of North-West Wales, including Snowdonia. In ancient times it was a kingdom, ruled by the legendary King Maelgwn. In 1974 it was resurrected as the name of a county. In 1996 the county was abolished, but the larger part of it (excluding Aberconwy and the Isle of Anglesey) is now the Gwynedd unitary authority area.
