Wales is known for its gorgeous landscapes. Between the rugged coastlines, mountainous national parks, and rolling hills, the Great Britain country is full of natural beauty and much of it can be found in its small towns. These towns may be small, but they’re full of unparalleled beauty that few places around the world, let alone Europe, can match.
Conwy
This town has more castles per square mile than anywhere else in Europe and alongside Conway Castle, is the Smallest House in Great Britain. The house is just 72 inches wide and the last person to live in it was a local fisherman who was 6 foot 3. The Plas Mawr, which is one of the finest surviving Elizabethan townhouses in Britain, is also worth a visit.
Menai Bridge (Porthaethwy)
Menai Bridge is set against the Snowdonia Mountains, the gorgeous water, green coastline, and the Menai Bridge. Take a stroll along the Belgian Promenade, visit St Tysilio’s Church on Church Island, and marvel at Thomas Telford’s 98-foot suspension bridge. If you’re up to it, check out Menai Straits’ whirlpools and shipwrecks.
Beaumaris
Enjoy the mountains and coast at the same time at Beaumaris. The town’s most prized attraction is the Beaumaris Castle, which also happens to be a UNESCO World Heritage Site. There’s also the town jail, which is now a museum and it’s believed to be haunted.
