North Wales tourism offers such diverse activities as cultural festivals, fishing, golf, visits to castles and many, many more. North Wales is one of three principalities on the island of Great Britain, along with England and Scotland. It is an ancient Celtic land of great beauty and mystery.
Good accommodation is an important part of touring and North Wales has loads to offer. The region has a wealth of hotels and B&Bs, camping sites and self catering, bunkhouses and hostels. There are even some castles that offer the traveller a place to stay.
Sampling native cuisine is another essential part of the tourist experience. The leek, Wales' national vegetable, is a prominent fixture in Welsh delicacies, as is laver (or lava) bread, a concoction of seaweed and oats, shaped into patties and fried. The Welsh also produce many delicious types of cheese, sausage and cider.
North Wales is accessible by air from Manchester, Liverpool and Birmingham Airports. Cardiff International and Swansea airports service the area. The area is easily navigated by car and is well served by rail. For those travelling by sea, the Port of Holyhead is located on the Isle of Anglesea.
Llechwedd Slate Caverns is one of the region's top ten tourist spot. Located in the County of Gwynedd, tourists can ride the Miners Tramway, a battery-electric locomotive, to investigate the 800 meters of tunnels and caverns. Another option is to study the cavernous deep mines via the funicular railway.
A visitor sampling the benefits of North Wales tourism emerges from the experience feeling rested, refreshed and rejuvenated. Rich Celtic mystery oozes out of every pore of every rock, every leaf of every tree. The locals are helpful and friendly, always willing to take that extra step of booking your restaurant or walking with you to your pub or B&B.
