Immerse yourself in the local culture by visiting Portmeirion, a quilt-like tapestry of colours and period architecture.

A visit to Morfa Bychan unveils awe-inspiring coastal views to write home about. Adventure lovers shouldn't miss a thrilling ride on the Ffestiniog & Welsh Highland Railways, transporting you through the breath-taking Snowdonia National Park. Here, you can hike the rugged trails to the summit of Mount Snowdon, explore lush valleys dotted with serene lakes, and uncover the rich cultural heritage of ancient castles and quaint villages. Alternatively, discover more about the area's rich heritage during a visit to the Welsh Highland Heritage Railway and Maritime Museum. Alltwen is your tranquil haven, watching the pastel hues of sunset over the harbour before retreating inside for a relaxing night in.
Borth-y-Gest is a quiet Welsh seaside village of mainly Victorian houses retaining much charm and character. Located by the mouth of the River Glaslyn, and a short drive away from the Italian styled village of Portmeirion, this pretty Welsh village has stunning panoramic views over the sands and estuary to the historic Harlech Castle and the Snowdonia National Park beyond. This North Wales village has two bistros and a coffee lounge all located on the front overlooking the bay and all with dog-friendly outdoor seating areas; perfect places to while away the hours watching the comings and goings of the local boatmen. Borth-y-Gest, with its sheltered coves and sandy beaches, has walking in abundance; why not head up Moel-y-Gest or take a wander over the headland to the famous Black Rock Sands, or go a little further afield where the vast Snowdonia National Park awaits? For a day out you can take a trip on the famous Ffestiniog Steam Railway and Welsh Highland Railway from Porthmadog, only a 15 minutes' walk away, or for those with younger children why not visit the shorter but more child-focussed Welsh Highland Heritage Railway? For a day trip the entire Llyn Peninsula calls. With Anglesey within reach and the whole North Wales coast with the Wales Coast Path to be explored, Borth-y-Gest has it all: a quiet bolt hole but conveniently located for ease of access to this stunning area, a must at any time of the year.
