Concentrated hit of natural beauty, history and culture
Along with many other people here in the UK and around the world, we have a soft spot for Gwynedd. In our opinion, few other destinations in the UK offer such a concentrated hit of natural beauty, history and culture. A holiday or weekend break to this part of the world is always a joy.
In
North Wales. The
Isle of Anglesey to the north west. Shares a border with
Conwy,
Denbighshire,
Powys and
Ceredigion.
Snowdonia National Park covers much of the county and is a mesmerising place.
The
Lleyn AONB is to the west of the National Park and has some amazing coastline.
Abersoch and its surroudings have been compared to
Padstow/
Rock in
Cornwall. Across the
Menai Strait is the
Anglesey AONB.
Check out our 'Top 10 Recommendations' but we'd particularly recommend the mountain village of
Beddgelert. The place is a joy to visit and a perfect place in which to stay if exploring the National Park. Other exceptional places in which to base your trip include
Llanberis and
Dolgellau. Make sure you visit the eccentric
Portmeirion and take a steam train from
Porthmadog.
Remember that a great deal of the county is coatline. Try
Shell Island with its awesome views of
Harlech Castle, one of the area's UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
The most obvious attractions in Gwynedd are its moutains. From the exceptionally beautiful
Snowdon Horseshoe all the way down to the stunning
Cadair Idris in the south, this is an outdoor playground. If walking isn't your thing, you can take the
Mountain Railway to Snowdon's summit.
When you're in the mountains, take time to explore the area's history and industrial heritage, too. There are various museums but our favourite is
Sygun Copper Mine which is a short walk from
Beddgelert.
OK, we're biased but we'd say this was an absolute must to visit at some point in your life. Or every year.
