Who could possibly argue with that while strolling along Llandudno’s elegant promenade past pastel-coloured properties and impeccably authentic seafront architecture just like Victorians did?

All that’s needed to complete the picture is a frilly parasol (for the ladies) and straw boater (for the gentlemen).

Llandudno’s appearance is down to the fact that, unlike most other resorts, it has remained largely unchanged for over a century. There’s a pier (the longest in Wales) and Punch and Judy, donkey rides on the beach and canopied shopping streets just behind the prom.

Put simply, the undisputed ‘Queen’ of the Welsh resorts retains its period dignity.

The Snowdonia National Park is a supersized adventure playground built of mountains, hills, river valleys, woodland and beaches. There are activities for all the family, not just the rough tough stuff for mountaineers.

Full of traditional stone-and-slate houses, this delightfully picturesque village is considered the getaway to Snowdonia: no wonder it’s so popular amongst outdoor enthusiasts! Regardless of how long you’re planning on sticking around for, here are some exciting things to do in and around Betws-y-Coed.

North Wales is a region steeped in history, where the rugged landscape is dotted with some of the most impressive medieval castles in the world.

Each of these fortresses tells a unique story of conquest, power, and resilience.
