Coastal North Wales
Sailing. Sand. Sea air. Just some of the reasons to head for our coastline.
With more beaches and promenades than you can wave a blue flag at, our coastal walking is some of the best in the country. The North Wales Path winds its way through seaside proms and quiet villages. And our country parks are great for a hike to higher ground. You’ll find a colony of seabirds and no less than 17 rare plant species at The Great Orme Country Park. While across the estuary, Conwy Mountain looms large over Conwy’s medieval castle and town walls – a World Heritage Site and among Europe’s best.
We've other great excuses, too. Like our history and culture.
Plas Mawr is the best surviving Elizabethan town house in Britain. Bodelwyddan Castle has collections from the National Portrait Gallery, the Victoria & Albert Museum, and the Royal Academy of Arts. Venue Cymru shows world-class performances from Welsh National Opera, Moscow State Circus and Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra. We're a cultured sort, we Welsh.
Other things are cultured here. Like the landscaped gardens at Bodnant. Our wilder landscapes include watersport venues like Conwy and Prestatyn, where you can sail, jet ski, dive and fish. And, as you'd expect, we've a bounty of seafood, too. Including our famous Conwy mussels. And some of the best coastal accommodation around. Seafront suites in Llandudno. Cosy fisherman's cottages in Conwy.

Country Parks linked by FREE shuttle bus
If you are one of the thousands of people visiting Loggerheads, Coed Moel Famau and Moel Famau this summer try out our Free Shuttle Bus Service.
It is hoped that the service will encourage people to travel to the Country Parks by bus and easily move between the three stunning sites. Or if people are coming by car we hope that they will avoid parking on the road outside loggerheads when the car park is full and park at Moel Famau and use the service to move between sites.
The Shuttle Bus is FREE, and is running everyday over the summer holidays every half hour - and there is even an incentive! Award Winning Caffi Florence at Loggerheads Country Park are offering a buy one drink get one free to encourage this sustainable initiative.
There are a wealth of free events, guided walks and countryside experiences throughout Loggerheads and Moel Famau for our visitors to enjoy and we hope people will take advantage of this service to have a fabulous day out in the Clwydian Range Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
