Wales, UK

Coastal charm, medieval castles, and the longest town name you’ll ever see.

Exploring North Wales

We stayed in Llandudno, a peaceful seaside town that felt like stepping into a postcard. From there, we visited Conwy, Puffin Island, Beaumaris, Newborough, Betws-y-Coed, and of course, Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch — yes, that’s really its name!

Between ancient castles, puffin-filled coastlines, and scenic ferry rides, Wales felt both wild and welcoming. It’s the kind of place where you can explore all day and then settle into a cozy pub for the night.
