Visitors to the area will enjoy breathtaking scenery, with three of the five designated Welsh areas of outstanding natural beauty located within the region. Whilst North Wales venues tend to be smaller and more intimate than those found in more urban areas, the district still offers a good variety of locations, with unparalleled access to the great outdoors a significant additional benefit.
The North Wales area is easily reached by road, with the A55 leading from historic Chester and following along the picturesque coastline towards Anglesey. Alternatively, many visitors will choose to travel via the A5, which leaves the M54 at Shrewsbury and leads north towards Bangor, the principal town in the region.
This convenient access from the rest of the UK is further enhanced by regular mainline rail services, which link Manchester, Crewe and London with the port of Holyhead on Anglesey.
