Bangor (English: /ˈbæŋɡər/; Welsh: [ˈbaŋɡɔr] (listen)) is a cathedral city and community in Gwynedd, North West Wales. It is the oldest city in Wales. Historically part of Caernarfonshire, it had a population of 18,322 at the 2019 UK Office for National Statistics.
The town of Amlwch, on the north east coast of Anglesey, is a major draw for those interested in industrial heritage.
Walking around this peaceful town, with its three windmills, it’s hard to imagine that in its mining heyday, it was one of the busiest ports in Wales, and home to nearly 10,000 people.
The old harbour at Port Amlwch is well worth a visit with its new copper Kingdom visitor centre
The origins of Holyhead (Caergybi) date from 450AD, when Celtic King Caswallon defeated Irish invaders on Holy Island.
The port of Holyhead is the busiest UK Irish ferry port and is home to the largest seagoing ferry in the World. There are good views over the port from the grounds of St Cybi’s church, from where there is also a good view of skinners monument on Alltran rock. This obelisk was erected by the people of Holyhead in memory of Captain John Mcgregor Skiner, a benefactor to the town’s poor who was washed overboard from his ship in 1832
In the town centre, St Cybi’s Church founded in about 550AD, stands on the site of the Roman fort of Caer Gybi and is still surrounded by the original fort wall. The surrounding area has many prehistoric sites, including the Neolithic Trefignath Burial Chamber 1.5 miles South East of the town. The late Neolithic or early Bronze age Tŷ mawr Hut group on the south slope of Holyhead mountain close to south stack.
There are excellent coastal walks at the Breakwater Country Park, these include audio trails, a new open gallery within the old brick shed, and themed walks. The breakwater country park along with the RSPB visitor centre in Ellins Tower, South Stack are popular bird watching centres.
Holyhead has a fine selection of pubs and restaurants, as well as a good choice of shops, and out of town shopping centre.
Winner of of the Green Coast seaside award, Rhosneigr lies on Anglesey’s Western shore. With its two broad , sandy beaches, Traeth Crigyll and Traeth Llydan, it is a popular centre for all watersports.
Rhosneigr is superb for walking on the beach, with rocky outcrops and dramatic sand dunes. Also nearby is Llyn Maelog with it all access boardwalk for those wanting to watch nature.
Beaumaris is a captivating seaside town, with its mix of medieval, Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian architecture. Its name is based on the Norman ‘beau marais’, meaning ‘fair marsh’, a description of the site chosen by Edward 1 for the last of his ‘Iron ring’ of castles, constructed in his bid to control the Welsh.
A ‘must’ is to take a walk through the town, starting with a stroll along the seafront, taking in the pier and the views over the Menai Strait and Snowdonia then continuing through the charming streets with their picturesque cottages, many painted in soft pastel colours.
Beaumaris castle is a United Nations World Heritage site and was constructed between 1295-1330 to form perfectly symmetrical concentric lines of fortification. There also a moat and a dock for access by supply ships.
Beaumaris has lively cafês, pubs, restaurants and hotels, with good food to suit every taste, and some excellent shopping marked by quality independent traders.
Conwy Town and Area
Conwy is a town rich in history, which much of it still preserved within the walls and traditional structures of its buildings. In the heart of it is the mighty 13th-century castle, whose walls encapsulate this remarkable medieval town.
Surrounded by lush Welsh countryside and watched over by the mighty mountains of Snowdonia, it’s a most beautiful place to visit. The Quay is host to a number of amenities and is a particularly stunning place to visit during the warm summer months. Whether you’d prefer to sit with a refreshing drink outside of the cosy quayside pub, take an exciting boat tour around the coastal area or hike upon the many surrounding mountains – it’s all possible in the quaint town of Conwy.
Conwy offers a whole host of places to eat and drink. Fine dining restaurants, traditional pubs and snug cafes can be found throughout the town. It’s also host to a number of hotels and B&Bs – many of which incredibly close to the castle itself. It’s not every day that you wake up five minutes away from a medieval castle – but in Conwy, it’s the norm for many.
With its traditional and quaint appearance, you may be fooled into thinking that this town is hard to access. It’s just over an hour’s drive from two major airports – Liverpool and Manchester. If you’ll be travelling by train, you’ll have no problems catching a train from major cities in the UK over to Conwy.
It’s worth exploring further afield in the rest of Conwy County which includes equally impressive coastal towns.
Abergele and Pensarn
Are you looking for places to stay in Abergele and Pensarn?
Abergele and Pensarn have quiet sandy beaches close to historic sites and wooded hills. From here, you can escape the stresses of everyday life. Enjoy sea views, historic places such as Gwrych Castle (home to ITV’s I’m a Celebrity 2020 and 2021 TV series) and a range of things to do providing fun for all the family.
Pensarn is Abergele’s seaside arm. It has a sandy beach with a prom, arcades and cafés. If you’re feeling energetic you can cycle or walk from here on the path westwards towards Colwyn Bay or eastwards to Kinmel Bay.
Abergele is a lovely town just inland. The hills are studded with Iron Age forts, and the town was once a Roman trading town and medieval marketplace.
You can delve deeper into Welsh history at Gwrych Castle. The stunning 200 year old castle is the new site for the 2020 TV series of I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here. The castle was built between 1812 and 1822. In 1946, it was sold by the Dundonald family. The ghost of Countess of Dundonald is said to walk within the castle to this day, since there has been many sightings of a woman in white!
Abergele is a good base for touring all of North Wales. It is close to major resorts and the moors of Mynydd Hiraethog. Wooded hills begin just beyond the town, with far-reaching views back to the coast. One of the local walks takes you to Tower Hill, which was supposedly an Elizabethan watchtower that guarded the coast against pirates.
Abergele Golf Club is a lovely 18-hole parkland course. Known as one of the most scenic in Wales, it’s also noted for its smooth, dry greens and all year round playability.
Holywell takes its name from the town’s major feature, the world famous 7th century St Winefride’s Holy Well; one of the Seven Wonders of Wales.
Located in North East Wales and set amid unspoiled countryside overlooking the estuary of the River Dee, the centre of this traditional Welsh market town has changed little over the last few hundred years as its rich variety of fine late Georgian and Victorian period buildings will testify.
At one time, Holywell was the place that supplied the water and the labour to power the factories and mills which sprang up in the nearby Greenfield valley during the 18th century, the remains of which now form part of Greenfield Valley Heritage Park. By today though, the town, with its pleasant pedestrianised shopping centre, is a much more tranquil place serving the shopping and leisure needs of visitors and locals alike.
Llanrwst
In a nutshell. Handsome, historic town, ‘capital’ of the verdant Vale of Conwy.
Llanrwst’s three-arched bridge across the Conwy, thought to be the work of famed 16/17th-century architect Inigo Jones, is the first thing to catch the eye. It leads across the clear-flowing waters to Tu Hwnt i’r Bont, a beautifully restored 15th-century house now owned by the National Trust. History is thick on the ground wherever you look.
The most prized of many treasures in Gwydir Chapel, St Grwst’s Church, is a weighty stone coffin said to have been that of Llywelyn the Great, the revered 13th-century Prince of Gwynedd.
Another chapel – Gwydir Uchaf – in woods close to the town is noted for its striking ceiling paintings.
The word ‘Gwydir’ crops up a lot locally. A visit to Gwydir Castle, once home of the all-powerful Wynn family, is an authentic and atmospheric experience. This grand Tudor manor, a rarity in Wales, was built on an historic site of great antiquity.
Then there’s the Gwydyr Forest, a woodland latticed with scenic waymarked trails like the Lady Mary Walk, which introduces you to local history and characters like Dafydd ap Siencyn, the forest’s own ‘Robin Hood’. Go onward and upward and eventually you’ll come to two lovely, little-visited lakes, Llyn Geirionydd and Llyn Crafnant.
Back in town, you’ll find an attractive range of independent shops selling everything from books to artisan and specialist foods.
