North Wales: The Practical Road Trip Guide

by Miles Calder

Drive North Wales with confidence – and enjoy it.

A loop of around 330 miles from Conwy takes in castles, Anglesey's cliffs and beaches, the quiet Llŷn Peninsula, the mountains of Eryri (Snowdonia) and the Dee Valley. The distances look short; the roads are slow, narrow and full of reasons to stop. This practical guide tells you what you actually need to know before you go and on the road.

Inside you'll find:
• Why anti-clockwise from Conwy works best, and when it doesn't
• Ready-made 5-day, 7-day and 10-day itineraries
• Narrow lanes, passing places, 20 mph limits and bilingual road signs explained, based on the Highway Code
• All six route sections in detail: stops, short walks, viewpoints, beaches, parking, toilets and where to stay
• Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon): the paths, the railway, Pen-y-Pass pre-booking, and the easier alternatives
• Fuel and EV charging, the Menai bridges, campervan rules, a packing list and a quick-reference checklist

No padding, no star ratings, no out-of-date prices – just clear, practical advice for drivers, couples, families and first-timers.
