The Pwllheli and Llanbedrog Tramway was a horse-worked tramway connecting Pwllheli and Llanbedrog on the coast of the Llŷn Peninsula. The line originally ran from the town center to the West End resort on the sea front and was later extended to Llanbedrog. The tramway was one of many developed by Solomon Andrews.
