North Wales Attractions Things to Do Places to Go See

North Wales has a diverse range of tourism attractions suitable for the whole family. North Wales is famous for its many castles, but it is also home to several National Trust stately homes. The Great Little Trains of Wales provide a great day out for the whole family with the nostalgic aroma of steam. You can continue on the heritage theme by exploring the life of a Victorian Miner and visit a slate or copper mine, or come right up to date by exploring attractions with green issues at their heart, or visit a power station.
