Wales visitor attractions

In a nutshell.

Where to begin?

Up in the Welsh Mountain Zoo overlooking Colwyn Bay with ring-tailed lemurs and sea lions, or along the prom at Llandudno Pier - the longest in Wales stretching out 2, 295ft over the sea with its array of amusements, cafes and bars?

At beautiful Bodnant Garden in the Vale of Conwy widely regarded as some of the best in the UK, where there are terraced gardens, lawns and wild gardens and the huge range of plants and flowers from all over the world.

Or amongst the lakes and moors of Mynydd Hiraethog at the?

Llandudno attractions come in all shapes and sizes – quite literally.

How about Conwy’s quirky ‘a tiny red painted one up one down that measures a miniature 3 metres high by 1.8 metres wide, or Rhos-on-Sea’s delightful Harlequin Puppet Theatre for bite-sized starters?

Followed by nature on a grand scale at Betws-y-Coed’s spectacular Swallow Falls on the Afon Llugwy, famous the world over and rightly so, or the Great Orme Country Park Visitor Centre high above Llandudno where you can discover more about the 400 types of wildflower on the limestone cliffs and learn about the seabirds including razorbills and fulmars that you are likely to spot.

Llandudno attractions play to a big and varied audience.

Our heritage are a big draw too.

But the castle and town walls built by English King Edward I are just part of our story.
