North Wales,Things To Do Liverpool,Summer Holidays

The North Wales coastal town, two hours from Liverpool, is becoming a much loved staycation destination

A tiny Welsh town - that wouldn't look out of place on the Amalfi Coast - can be reached via a two-hour drive from Merseyside.

After buying the land of Portmeirion for £3,500, Sir Williams-Ellis took inspiration from the Italian town of Portofino to create his vision. Throughout visitors will find nods to Bavaria, Portugal and more. Since it's not a traditional village, the site hasn't got a school, church or even permanent residents.

Those who love a day at the seaside will appreciate the white sandy beaches of the Dwyryd Estuary. A day could be spent strolling along the waterfront with an ice cream and a cone of chips alone, but there's also plenty to explore while there.
