Overview:

A traditional unspoilt seaside resort, with all the modern conveniences of good quality accommodation, fine beaches and fun attractions for all the family, set within the marvellous backdrop of the Snowdonia National Park.

Alongside Colwyn Bay there is the Victorian grandeur of Llandudno, set within a perfect crescent bay has drawn people for decades. There is a huge variety of good accommodation, from large grand hotels to cosy, homely guesthouses, and plenty of attractions to keep both the little (and big!) kids happy. Similarly the miles of long, clean, golden sandy beaches in Colwyn Bay, Rhyl and Prestatyn are heavenly. There is something for everyone at North Wales' premier resorts.

Locality:

Colwyn Bay is situated on the North Coast of Wales in close proximity to Llandudno, Prestatyn and Rhyl.

Entertainment/Facilities/Attractions/Things to do:

There are a multitude of things to do. Why not go dry slope skiing and tobogganing in Llandudno? In Colwyn Bay you can learn more about conservation efforts in the Welsh Mountain Zoo. In Rhyl let the kids run riot in the Palace Fun Centre, a giant indoor adventure playground, and in Prestatyn take a stroll along the starting point of the ancient, 182 mile long Offa's dyke National Trail.

All this, and only a stone's throw away from the superb mountains, lakes and castles of Snowdonia.
