About this deal

Snowdonia National Park is one of the most popular stops on a North Wales Road Trip and it’s not hard to see why… If you are travelling via South or Mid Wales this spot is a must visit, even if’s for a few hours. The stunning Coastal town of Aberystwyth is only small but the Sea Views and Foodie hot spots make this a great way to start your North Wales Road Trip.

In recent years Llandudno has reinvented itself as an artistic and creative hub, with many Art Galleries popping up throughout the town. This question is asked a lot. Even though Wales doesn’t look like a big Country, the many Country roads may add some time onto your trip. Walk along the North Shore Beach and the 19th-century Llandudno Pier. But make sure you protect your fish and chips from the local seagulls who love a chip or two!

This bay of beautiful sands is one of the fairly secluded beaches in North Wales and is a total gem because of that. When the weather is good and the waves are good and safe, it is perfect for sports like surfing, bodyboarding and kayaking. There are approximately 20 towns and villages along the coastal walk with the official starting point at Holyhead. The region is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and provides an array of dunes, cliffs, farmland, marshes and woodlands to enjoy. Another one of the top Castles to visit in North Wales is Gwrych Castle. This is a beautiful castle to visit anyway, however it has now become even more popular due to it being where “I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!” was filmed for two consecutive years. Unfortunately, the Weather can be very temperamental in Wales. Springtime is always a good time to plan your North Wales Road Trip as even if it rains, seeing the landscape changing before you is pretty special. Snowdonia National Park covers a great deal of North Wales, extending inland from the coast between Penmaenmawr and Caernarfon by way of Bethesda, all the way to Bala Lake and Llanfairfechan. Visitor access to the most beautiful part of this area, including the summit of Snowdon itself, is made easier by the wonderful Snowdon Mountain Railway, which starts in Llanberis and is considered one of the world's top railway journeys.

Porthmadog on its own is one of the best places to visit in North Wales, with its pretty harbour and rich history. But the two heritage railways mean you can create some amazing day trips as well, making the town an ideal base for exploring the area. Llanwddyn& Lake Vyrnwy Reservoir, Powys Speaking of wildlife, you'll find adventure and farm parks as well as zoos and aquariums here too. Learn about local marine life or venture further and discover animals from across the world. Prefer to see the "wild" in wildlife? Boat trips will help you spot seals, porpoises and dolphins. Bird-lovers will want to train their binoculars on our sea cliffs and open countryside. A mountain village surrounded by pine forests, Betws-y-Coed is the gateway to Snowdonia from the north. A haven for hikers and outdoor enthusiasts, the village is a lively hub of activity. It features numerous natural and purpose-built attractions.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. Portmeirion was the brainchild of Sir Clough Williams-Ellis (1884-1978), who dreamed of recreating an Italian village in Wales and had it built on his own private promontory, together with a mansion (now a hotel) and beautiful Gwylt Gardens.

Pleasant boat rides are available that cross the aqueduct regularly. Better still, go whole hog and rent a canal barge for a few days to explore this magnificent part of Wales at a very leisurely pace, as canal barges have average speeds of approximately eight kilometers per hour. Our Top Stops highlight the most recommended spots for a North Wales Road Trip no matter if you are there for 1 day or 1 month. Use these stops to plan your 3 day North Wales Road Trip Itinerary and you will get a true taste of North Wales. The bounty of the sea is much celebrated in North Wales and rightfully so as it is not in short supply. The Oysters from the waters around Anglesey are so renowned they have their own festival! There is plenty of parking near the aqueduct. There’s space for larger vehicles, so you can still visit even if you’re on a motorhome holiday. There’s also plenty more to see nearby, so be sure to spend a day or two exploring the local area. Trearddur Bay, Anglesey Even though it’s recommended to spend 5-7 days on a North Wales Road Trip, it is totally possible to see a lot in 3 days.The Snowdonia National Park is the largest national park in Wales, and one that I’m very familiar with as my grandparents lived here for all the time that I knew them. Whilst many people are familiar with the park for its titular mountain, there is a great deal more to see and do here.
