Caernarfon Castle is good to visit too. I live in North Wales and know how lucky I am. Beautiful Llangollen is worth seeing.

I recently went on a coach trip to Wales… absolutely loved it… amazing scenery…

Thank you so much everyone. I have a long list of suggestions and I am looking forward to visiting lovely Wales on a fortnight's time.

I live on the beautiful Isle of Anglesey, I know, very lucky. Beaumaris is a beautiful old town with castle and old gaol, very pretty and interesting, good pubs and tea shops. Menai Bridge has nice shops, Cemaes Bay and Rhosneigr are pretty villages with shops, eateries and good beaches. Holyhead is a busy port town, not very pretty but with a nice marina and an interesting maritime museum.
On the mainland are the castles of Conwy, Penrhyn and Caernarfon. Betws-y-coed is gorgeous, there are great antique shops and a lovely art gallery at Llanrwst with a cafe that sells cakes to die for.
Hope you have a lovely time and find a great Welsh welcome.

Plas Mawr in Conwy, Llanberis , The Miner’s Hospital. Roman Copper Mine in Llandudno. Just three of my favourites but we go there a lot, living in South Wales Quite honestly , choose your area and there will be lots to do and wonderful scenery

St Fagans National Museum of History an open air museum with reconstructed buildings from all over Wales showing life as it was.
Caerleon the Roman legion museum with a big amphitheatre near Newport.
Big Pit National Coal Museum at Blaenavon if you want to go down a real coal mine.

I agree about Anglesey. It has beautiful bays and beaches. Llanddwyn Island off Newborough Beach is gorgeous. Admit, I'm not Welsh. Just loved visiting.

Bodnant Garden, a National Trust property near Conwy, is beautiful and well worth a visit. Early in the year there are many different varieties of magnolia and, in early summer, you can't miss the laburnum tunnel.

Having visited Wales a few times and stayed in Angelsey when travelling to Ireland, I'd recommend Beaumaris, Red Wharf bay and Bets-y-coed. I also remember Abersoch beach being delightful.

Betws y Coed is beautiful

Thank you all. I am making a list.

There’s so much to see in Wales, I live here and find it very hard to choose.
You must go to Portmeirion, it’s totally unique, beautiful setting and just a lovely place in every way.

I’d also recommend Laugharne, hangout of Dylan Thomas, you can visit the ‘shed’ he wrote in, and it has lovely views.
For beaches, my favourite is Three Cliffs Bay on the Gower.
Another historical and haunting place is St David’s cathedral, the city of St David’s is also very pretty.
For castles, my favourite is Manorbier - and another lovely beach.
Sorry if I’ve gone on a bit!

I was going to say Portmerion too. You can just visit for the day. Bodnant gardens, Betws y coed and Llandudno worth a visit too.

Thank you, GG. I had forgotten about that.

Portmerion is beautiful and interesting, not cheap to stay there but worth every penny. (The Prisoner was filmed there)
