North Wales is a great holiday spot for the whole family if you love being outdoors and getting up to all kinds of activities. If you are more of a city lover that is drawn to the bright lights and hustle and bustle of shops, museums, and galleries then this one might not be for you! Most of North Wales is on the edge of the countryside, and you never have to go very far to find either some mountains, the sea, or both!
The question is, what is there to actually do in North Wales?

Heritage sites
Wales has the most amazing culture, which to many, is surprisingly different from English culture. There are countless Welsh castles to be explored, as well as country houses and magnificent gardens. One of North Wales’ most famous castles is undoubtedly Caernarvon Castle, but others such as Conwy and Harlech are also well worth a visit.
