About this deal

The story may have more myth than truth to it, but it’s a good story nonetheless. And a tombstone along the banks of the Glaslynriver is one of Beddgelert’s most famous attractions. Menai Strait, Anglesey For one of the great places to visit near Llandudno you can go to Conwy city or one of the many nearby beaches like Colwyn Bay Beach. There are two ways to experience the aqueduct. You can walk from the carpark (which has a museum nearby sharing the story on how it was built). But by far the best way to experience it is by crossing over the aqueduct on the water at the top – either by hiring a canal barge or paddling across in a kayak. The views across the valley and the welsh countryside are well worth the effort. Sculpted across North Wales are beautiful regal gardens, brought into life to celebrate the loves of great regal figures. Many garden enthusiasts visit North Wales for its gardens alone…

From South Wales to North Wales, depending on where you travel from and to, you can go along the West Coast of Wales which provides some epic coastal views, through mid-Wales, or you can head into England and take the motorway up to North Wales. Getting to North Wales By Train and bus: Llandudno is an old British seaside resort but it is still thriving today and is clean and tidy to visit.A trip to North Wales wouldn’t be complete without a visit to the delightful and charming coastal town of Llandudno.

The big draw, though, is the garden's magnificent 55-meter-long laburnum arch. Planted in 1880 and flowering each May and June, it continues to draw large crowds who travel here to enjoy its splendid display. The Isle of Anglesey, separated from the mainland by the nearly mile-wide Menai Strait, is spanned by two imposing bridges, the most interesting of which is the Menai Suspension Bridge (1818-26). Along the coast are a series of small seaside resorts that have grown out of fishing villages, the most significant being Holyhead. Head inland, and you'll find five market towns and many tiny villages all linked by numerous narrow roads.

Adventure

As I’ll mention below, North Wales has much less public transport options than South Wales or England, because it has far fewer big cities. Bangor is the main city in North Wales and a place you might want to use as a base if using public transport to get around Wales. This beautiful park is one of the best places to visit in Britain for hiking and climbing adventures, and offers plenty of extremely rugged and scenic mountain vistas along the way. But there's more to explore in Snowdonia than just stunning mountain scenery. The park also boasts many lovely sandy beaches and dunes, countless picture-perfect Welsh valleys, as well as over 50 lakes and smaller pools of water. There’s also the sea to consider! Water sports are big up and down the coast with Colwyn Bay leading the way in Canoeing, Kayaking, Wind Surfing and Stand Up Paddle Boarding. A great activity if you’re looking for something to do with your adventurous kids!

Lovely Llandudno is one of the most popular seaside resorts in all of Wales, in part due to its two sandy beaches (one on either side of the town) and picture-perfect promenade. With the advent of tourism in the last century, this Victorian town became a gathering place for the new middle class, who came here from the nearby industrial regions of Liverpool and Manchester.Trearddur Bay and its beach are both absolutely stunning. The view of the entire bay on a clear day is with crystal clear water, with emerald green colours slowly dissolving into a sapphire blue. In Amlwch, nestled on the peaceful north coast of Anglesey, you can discover the island’s industrial history while enjoying its charming seaside scenery. This pretty town is close to some of the UK’s loveliest secluded coastal spots; Lligwy Beach, a ten-minute drive away, is a particular beauty.
