Snowdonia and Gwynedd Coast, Wales
The attractive Victorian resorts along the southern shore of the peninsula are sheltered and provide plenty of scope for sailing, swimming and fishing. Though born in Manchester, the place where David Lloyd George lived until he was 16 years old –Llanystumdwy – is a popular place to visit. However, the whole region is filled with splendid attractions to see and exciting things to do.

Pembrokeshire used to be known as “Little England Beyond Wales”, partly because its scenery was reminiscent of England, and partly because so many of its inhabitants spoke English rather than Welsh. The Scandinavians seemed to have liked this region and there are many towns with Danish place-names in the south of the county.
