Homegrown Delights

T hink of Wales, and you'll likely think of Snowdonia (Eryri), the beautiful range of mountains and hills located in the county of Gwynedd. Consisting of 14 majestic peaks over 3,000 feet high, the most famous being the 3,546-foot Snowdon, the summit of which is accessible by train. Snowdonia can be seen as far away as Porthmadog (Portmeirion) on the west coast. The region remains one of the most popular vacation destinations in the UK, attracting some four million visitors a year. Northwest Wales comes steeped in history, with Royal fortresses and romantic castles among its breath-taking sites. In addition to ancient relics, the region’s bracing coastlines feature everything from picturesque lighthouses to Victorian seaside towns. Boasting 125 miles of stunning shoreline, the Isle of Anglesey is another of the area’s coastal gems and is easily accessible via the Menai Bridge, the world’s first modern suspension bridge. With fantastic walks along the coastal path, as well as cycle routes and water sports, Anglesey is an ideal spot if you’re longing for an action-packed getaway ...and of course we don’t want to be long-winded in our praise of the region, unless you happen to decide to visit one particular town... ...
