Abererch is a small village and former civil parish on the Lleyn Peninsula in the Welsh county of Gwynedd. The village lies approximately 1 mile east of Pwllheli.
The parish was abolished in 1934, and incorporated into Llannor.[1] It is a mostly Welsh speaking village.[2]
There is a primary school and a playschool, and a railway station.
Abererch has a beach which is between Pwllheli and Penychain (Haven Holiday Park). Parking for the beach is near the railways station. From the beach you have a view of Harlech Castle in the East all the way down to Tywyn (on a clearer day even further south) and to the West Pwllheli and the St Tudwals. Access to the beach is through a footpath next the caravan and camp-site. This beach is ideal for days when the wind is from the North or North West due to the sheltered bay.
The river Erch runs through Abererch.
