Welcome to the North Wales area guide where we will be taking you through some of the key characteristics of the area as well as information on education, properties and transport.
North Wales is home to some of the most stunning landscapes in the country, expect to experience views of vast beaches, rolling hills and mountainous peaks. In between these vistas are an abundance of properties including town houses, cottages, manors and castles. Strutt and Parker’s properties in the North Wales area are managed by our team nearby in Cheshire who offer a great range of services such as residential sales, planning, building surveying and land management.
North Wales is a place of varying terrain, making the search for the right area an important one – whether it be the countryside, the coast, the mountain regions or the towns, there’s something here for everyone. Much of the North Wales area is made up of natural spaces including the Snowdonia National Park, Coed y Brenin Forest Park and Gwydir Forest Park.
Things to do
The variety in North Wales’ landscape boasts a huge variety of activities to get involved in, and a rich culture and history to uncover.
Snowdonia
Snowdonia is widely considered to be one of the most beautiful spots in the UK, partly made up of mountainous regions and partly comprised of sprawling coast – it holds the best of both worlds. Hills of the greenest green roll throughout the breath-taking landscape which is populated with a buzz of activities and natural highlights where you can truly uncover and experience the rich Welsh culture. The surrounding villages of Snowdonia are full of charm and Welsh culture, for instance, Portmeirion is home to its own steam railway which truly transports visitors to another time.
Experience History!
North Wales is steeped in a rich, intriguing history which is tangible to those visiting and living in the area. Many castles litter the mountainous and coastal regions which make up what’s known as the ‘Ring of Steel’; a ring of fortresses in the North Wales territory built by Edward I to exhibit military power. Dolbadarn and Dolwyddelan Castles are located in Snowdonia, whereas other forts such as Flint, Conwy and Cricceth line the Northern coast.

- The culture – As well as all the rural and isolated charm North Wales has to offer, there is also a creative and cultural buzz around the area; Festival No. 6 takes place in Portmerion every September and the Consuming Conwy Festival finds many foodies joining together bask in some culinary delights.
