It can be hard to tear yourself away from the wonderful beaches and amazing mountains hereabouts. But there are many towns and villages in North Wales which should not be missed. From the wonderfully pretty Beddgelert in Snowdonia to the incredible Portmeirion which is frankly pretty mad, there is much to see. You will discover a few fabulous cafes and restaurants along the way together with fascinating independent shops which make a refreshing change from the usual high street offerings.

Whether you love to wander around, popping in and out of the shops or you prefer to sit outside with a coffee admiring the scenery and people watching, you won’t find yourself short of places to visit. Don’t miss the towns and villages that we have highlighted below but you will find your own favourite spots along the way.
