A tiny village, lying on the Llyn peninsula, between Criccieth and Pwllheli, Llanstumdwy has the distinction of being the birth place, and burial place of David Lloyd George. He was Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and led a Wartime Coalition Government between 1916 and 1922 and was the Leader of the Liberal Party from 1926 to 1931.
Visit the David Lloyd George museum in the village, then walk through the grounds out into the lane at the back, and the monument is opposite you. His grave on the banks of the Afon Dwyfor, with its huge boulder, was designed by Sir Clough Williams-Ellis, the founder and designer of Portmeirion.
