Porthdinllaen -- West Division Porthdinllaen (non Welsh speakers can try 'Porth-incline' as a rough approximation) is home to a slipway-launched Tyne. The station's remote location, in a small cove on the north-west coast of the Lleyn Peninsula, is obvious from this photograph - a far cry from the more populous area of St Helier above..

Although only seven miles or so by road from Pwllheli it is more like 40 by sea through the notorious Bardsey Sound at the end of the Peninsula and the next all-weather lifeboat to the north is nearly 40 miles away across Caernarfon bay at Holyhead..
