North Wales is a beautiful place to visit all year around – with its many ancient castles and stunning countryside, as well as welcoming towns and villages, with places that range from traditional country pubs and local bed and breakfasts to places like this luxury hotel Llandudno https://stgeorgeswales.co.uk/ there is bound to be something for everyone.
In the winter, there are less tourists so everywhere is a little more quiet than it is in the summer – and if you really want to revel in the peace and quiet away from the festive rush, North Wales in the winter is also a place where there are lots of beautiful places to walk.
Here are some of the popular places to walk and enjoy the stunning winter scenery…
The Great Orme is a stunning headland that juts out into the sea near Llandudno. You can follow the coastal path and enjoy the crisp clean sea air, look out for the many birds that call this home and marvel at the spectacular sea views before heading to Llandudno for something warm to eat!
If the weather permits, head to Snowdonia national park. The stunning mountains are of course a more challenging trek, but wandering amongst waterfalls and staring out over the beautiful views far beyond is well worth it. If you are taking a more challenging route it is particularly important to check the weather forecast before you go.
Haulfre gardens is a much more gentle walk if this is more your thing – stunning at any time of the year, these Victorian gardens are a great place for a quiet winter stroll and there are benches throughout where you can sit and look out over the sea.
