Tucked between the mountains and the sea, North Wales is one of those places that seems to have it all – coastline, castles, culture, and countryside. Whether you're after windswept beaches, charming towns, or rugged trails, this region never disappoints. Let’s take a look at some of the very best places to visit in North Wales – and why it’s worth bumping them to the top of your travel list.

Cross the Menai Bridge and you’ll feel the pace of life slow down. Anglesey is Wales' largest island, and it’s like stepping into another world – one filled with hidden coves, sweeping bays, and a coastline path that just keeps giving. Families love Rhosneigr beach, while history buffs will want to explore Beaumaris Castle and the eerie ruins of Llanddwyn Island. There’s something quietly magical about this place – once you stay in Anglesey, you won’t want to leave!

Conwy might be small, but it packs a punch. The towering medieval castle is the showstopper, with ramparts you can walk along for jaw-dropping views of the surrounding hills and estuary. The town itself is full of charm – think cobbled streets, traditional pubs, and the smallest house in Britain (yes, it’s tiny, and yes, you should see it). It’s the sort of place that invites you to slow down, grab a coffee, and just soak it all in. Browse our luxury holiday homes in Conwy to book a stay fit for royalty!

The Llyn Peninsula isn’t quite as well-known as Snowdonia or Anglesey – but that’s part of the appeal! It’s quiet, unspoilt, and full of character. Expect sandy beaches, Welsh-speaking villages, and coastal walks that feel like a secret. Porthdinllaen is a real gem, especially if you catch it on a sunny day. During your Llyn Peninsula stay, be sure to enjoy a paddle and a pint at the Ty Coch Inn – one of the UK’s most scenic beach bars.

Wrexham has been having a bit of a moment lately – and not just because of its Hollywood-owned football club. It’s the newest city in Wales, but it still holds on to its local charm. The revamped markets, heritage spots like Erddig Hall, and lively events scene are helping Wrexham reinvent itself. And if you’re heading into North Wales from the east, a luxury holiday home in Wrexham it’s a great place to start your journey.

Okay, technically Snowdonia is spread across a wider area, but no stay in North Wales is really complete without it. Whether you fancy climbing Yr Wyddfa (Mount Snowdon) or just enjoying a peaceful train ride to the summit, this national park is all about big views, fresh air, and unforgettable walks. You don’t have to be a hardcore hiker to enjoy it, either – there’s something for every pace.
