Top places to visit

1. Eryri National Park

It is the peaks of Yr Wyddfa/Snowdon itself that draw the crowds, helped by the easy ascent offered by an obliging train. Around 600,000 people walk, climb or take the train to the 1085m summit each year to take in the splendid views and clear those cobwebs once and for all. Despite the crowds, Yr Wyddfa is the highest mountain in Wales and needs to be treated seriously! Many are caught out by not preparing for the difficulty and the elements in this remote part of the world. The ascent of Snowdon may seem more like a beano than a serious walker’s solitary struggle against the elements, but that is all part of its allure and charm.

2. Yr Wyddfa

There are six main routes to the summit and the Snowdon Sherpa Bus runs a shuttle service around the base of the mountain. This shuttle connects both the starting points of the six routes and the villages that surround Snowdon, making it easy to explore the area and find the route that suits you best.

3. Conwy Castle

Standing proudly overlooking the historic town of Conwy on the North Wales coast, the dark stoned fortress is in remarkably good condition considering the military action it has seen over the centuries and visitors can still walk along its impressive walls today.

4. Venue Cymru

A modern building whose form echoes the heyday of Llandudno’s Victorian boardwalk, Venue Cymru is the best place in North Wales to see performing artists of all genres. From music to theater, from West End shows to some of today’s biggest pop stars, the venue and attached conference hall attract visitors from all over the United Kingdom and performers from all over the world.

5. Caernarfon Castle

It dominates the skyline thanks to a dynamic building style that emphasises sheer scale above all else. Important enough to have been officially designated a World Heritage Site, the castle makes use of large polygonal towers, rather than the standard round construction, and colour-coded bands of stone to create a truly imposing edifice.

6. Llandudno Pier

Designed in an Indian Gothic style, reminiscent of a “Maharaja’s palace, floating on a lake”, this impressive iron structure offers fabulous panoramic views of Llandudno Beach and the promenade on one side, and the serene waters of the Irish Sea on the other.

7. Promenade

The Promenade wraps along the northern shore of Llandudno, providing picturesque views of the bay and the surrounding bluffs. The Victorian boulevard straddles sandy and pebbly stretches of the beach, where all types of family activities take place. Eat ice cream and join in the revelries in this traditional British seaside resort.

The A-Z of Universities and Higher Education Colleges has also named it as “one of the cheapest places in Britain” to be a student and cost of living surveys consistently rank it as one of the most economical places to study in the UK.
