Conway:On the north Wales coast,Conway is where you’ll find the world’s smallest house,as well as a much larger “house”,Conway Castle,which was built in the 13th century.
Anglesey:This beautiful island is joined to the rest of north Wales by a road bridge and a railway bridge,and it’s just a short drive from Conway.Here you can visit the village of Llanfair Pwllgwyngyll which has the strangest name in Europe.Don’t miss the station.The sign runs the complete length of the platform!Also on Anglesey is Beaumaris Castle,which was started in the 13th century and to this day remains unfinished.
Snowdonia:Just a couple of hours’ drive from Beaumaris is the Snowdonia mountain range,which takes its name from the highest mountain in Wales,Mount Snowdon.From there,visit the famous Swallow Falls at nearby Betws-y-Coed.
Portmeirion:In 1925 Clough Williams Ellis bought an attractive piece of Welsh land for less than ￡5,000.He then set out to show the world how a naturally beautiful castle could be built without being damaged and spent the next 50 years building the town of Portmeirion with a style of Italy.
