Laburnum Arch at Bodnant Garden Penrhyn CastleCaernarfon CastleBodysgallen lies at the heart of so much historyit would take several visits to see it all. Castles atConwy, Caernarfon, Harlech and Beaumaris arewithin easy reach. National Trust properties atPlas Newydd on Anglesey, Penrhyn Castle and thebeautiful gardens at Bodnant are a “must”, and so areBetws y Coed and the spectacular Swallow Falls.At Blaenau Ffestiniog one can visit relics of theIndustrial Revolution at preserved slate quarriesand ride on the narrow gauge steam railway thatserved them.The Victorian resort of Llandudno is about a mileaway and a drive round the Great Orme providesmagnificent views of the North Wales coastline andthe Isle of Anglesey.But for many visitors the best part of being inNorth Wales is just driving along secluded lanes andnarrow mountain roads, leaving the car to explorefootpaths and bridleways, and discover some of themost attractive scenery in Europe.
