      North Wales has great scenery, but South west Wales has the best beaches

    Fantastic my partner and I where there only last week. We stayed in the Premier Inn and our room looked out over the railway 🚂 I just love watching the train's and there's something magical about when they cross the road and up the road to the station.
    The Port Café highly recommended fantastic food

    Another amazing video. Thank you so much. We visit Porthmadog every time we stay in Portmeirion (which is probably a lot for a Canadian couple). It's so nice to see the little familiar shops we visit every time we go. Some of our luggage and my swimming trunks that we bring anywhere we travel came from The Original Factory Shop. Always a good place to find essentials

    PORTHMADOG
    Early in the 19th century, William Madocks, M.P. for Boston in Lincolnshire, gained the approval of Parliament for the building of a mile long embankment across the mouth of the Glaslyn Estuary. This embankment, which for many years has carried both road and narrow gauge railway, and is known as The Cob, reclaimed nearly 7000 acres from the sea and made Porthmadog a major port for the then rapidly growing slate industry.
