Where to go

North Wales awaits.

From the Victorian grandeur of Llandudno to the medieval walls of Conwy, the mountains of Snowdonia to the wild coasts of Anglesey — every corner of North Wales has a story worth chasing.

Isle of Anglesey

Island of the druids

Anglesey

Separated from the mainland by the Menai Strait, Anglesey is an island of contrasts — dramatic sea cliffs on the west coast, sandy bays in the south, and a flat interior hiding Bronze Age burial chambers and standing stones. The birthplace of Welsh royalty and the last stronghold of the druids.

Highlights

Walk the Anglesey Coastal Path — all 125 miles of it
Watch puffins at South Stack RSPB reserve
Visit Beaumaris Castle — the most technically perfect castle in Wales
Swim at Rhosneigr or Llanddwyn Island at low tide

Best for:Coastal walks, wildlife, beaches

Gwynedd

The roof of Wales

Snowdonia

Fourteen peaks over 3,000 feet. Ancient glacial valleys carved by ice sheets. The kind of silence that makes you feel small in the best possible way. Snowdonia is the beating heart of North Wales — and no matter how many times you come back, it never gets ordinary.

Highlights

Summit Snowdon via the Pyg Track or Watkin Path
Explore the Ogwen Valley and Tryfan's north ridge
Visit Portmeirion, the Italianate village on the estuary
Ride the Snowdon Mountain Railway for a different perspective

Best for:Hiking, climbing, wild swimming

Conwy County

Medieval and magnificent

Conwy

One of the finest medieval walled towns in Europe. A castle that rises from the estuary like something from a dream. Conwy is compact, walkable, and packed with history — but it's also a gateway to the Conwy Valley, one of the most beautiful river valleys in Wales.

Highlights

Walk the complete medieval town walls — 1.3 miles of battlements
Explore Conwy Castle, a UNESCO World Heritage Site
Drive the Conwy Valley to Betws-y-Coed and the Swallow Falls
Visit Bodnant Garden in spring for the laburnum arch

Best for:History, day trips, family visits

Conwy County

The Queen of Welsh Resorts

Llandudno

Britain's largest seaside resort hasn't lost its Victorian soul. The sweeping promenade, the pier stretching into the bay, the Great Orme rising behind it all — Llandudno is a town that knows exactly what it is, and wears it beautifully. Come for the architecture, stay for the views.

Highlights

Ride the Great Orme Tramway — Britain's only cable-hauled street tramway
Walk the Great Orme headland for panoramic views across the bay
Stroll the Victorian pier and the two-mile promenade
Explore the Great Orme Bronze Age copper mines — 4,000 years old

Best for:Coastal walks, history, family days out
