ESSENTIALS

Getting there and around

Regular trains hug the length of Wales’s north coast from Manchester, Birmingham or Crewe, with major stops including Llandudno, Bangor and Holyhead. Frequent buses also serve the same stretch. However, exploring by car is easiest, allowing access to Snowdonia’s peaks and Anglesey’s farthest flung beaches. Or walk, using the spectacular 75-mile North Wales Way, which runs along the entire North coat of Wales, into Anglesey.

Where to stay
