Conwy Town - Castle Walls
Closest to our hearts is, of course, the medieval walled town of Conwy. From the foreboding castle to the picturesque quay and the small winding streets that link them, Conwy is a real treasure. A town with a story to tell, it’s brimming with unique little boutiques and eateries. Be sure to walk the walls of Conwy to get a real feel for this rustic charmer of a town; on a clear day the views are superb – taking in Conwy, Llandudno, Deganwy, Penmaemawr and parts of the Snowdonia National Park. Visit the castle and the wonders of the Conwy Suspension Bridge.

Portmeirion
Just over an hour’s drive from The Groes Inn, Portmeiron is a little slice of magic. The popular tourist village in Gwynedd, North Wales was designed and built by Sir Clough Williams-Ellis between 1925 and 1975 in the style of an Italian village; pickled with brightly coloured houses and pretty streets it certainly wouldn’t be out of place on the Italian Riviera. Today, the handsome village is owned by a charitable trust and an entrance fee is payable – currently £10 per adult (discounts available online). This village has served as the location for numerous films and television shows, most famously as ‘The Village’ in the 1960s television show The Prisoner.
