Because I love it so much, I am going to talk about North Wales as being the ultimate UK short break destination. The countryside is dynamic and visiting is almost like being in another country. The language they speak is Welsh, but don't worry, they also speak English. From the moment you enter North Wales the name change and reading town names can be difficult for overseas tourists, but don't worry the locals are friendly.
One of the most beautiful places in North Wales is the Snowdonia National Park, Mount Snowdon is the highest peak in the UK, south of the Scottish highlands. And it is here that Sir Edmund Hillary prepared for is accent up Everest. It is the perfect place for hikers, climber, walkers, mountain bikers and worshipers of natures' beauty at its best.
North Wales has the best beaches in the UK too, these are award winning beaches and the Llyn (pronounced hlin) Peninsula is the home of the Black Rock sands of which dunes are of special scientific interest. This beach is popular for surfers and you can enjoy unbelievable views of Cardigan Bay from here. Lligwy Beach received a Green Coast Award and a 10mps speed limit, so it is the ultimate slow-paced beach to relax on.
A visit to Beaumaris Castle is a must and the medieval town of Beuamaris it quite beautiful. When they say it's all in a name, they mean it in relationship to this town. The name is derived from the French/Norman and it means beautiful marsh. The castle is from the era of King Edward I and it has murder slots (defense for the inner bailey), spy holes, a moat and a drawbridge. Work began on this castle in 1295, continued for 35 years and was never finished, not that you would know, because it is a technically perfect example of a castle of its time, and the best surviving example in the world.
