The National Trust has bid £3m for a stretch of coastline in Llyn, Gwynedd.
It is believed that the organisation wants to buy the one-kilometre stretch in Llyn to protect it from developers. It has launched an appeal to fund the acquisition.
"This is a true jewel in our national coastline - a home to a fragile community that depends on the sea for its very existence as well as a delicate ecosystem of rare plant and wildlife," National Trust warden for Aberdaron, Paul Lewis, told the .
"It's a place that's been at grave risk of inappropriate development, and we want to purchase and protect [it] forever."
The National Trust plans to create a visitor centre to promote the area, in addition to protecting its rare flora and fauna. Five per cent of the UK's population of chough is found in Llyn.
