Going to Wales next weekend for 4 days, staying near Barmouth. Anybody got any ideas for places to visit in the Snowdonia/North Wales areas. We are going to Caernarvon Castle, Llandudno and taking the train up Snowdon but any ideas for anywhere else would be most welcome.

Barmouth is lovely especially the views up the estuary - well worth getting out of the car for a long walk.
Portmerion is lovely and well worth a visit.
Just up the coast is a nice little village called Borth y Gest (Think I've spelt it correctly) because of the play of the sun on the sands and the clouds it never looks the same twice - stunning. Conway has seen better times but it's still attractive.
Personal taste here but Llandudno may prove a disapointment to many. Far too much to take in in just 4 days. I'm guessing but you'll end up wanting to go back for a longer visit. Anglesey and the Lleyn peninsular are worthy of holidays just for those areas. If the weather holds I'm sure you'll love it.

Thanks a lot for that. I especially fancy going to Portmerion.

Wales has some wonderful sights. I went down a copper mine.

There are gold mines too.

What about Pot Noodle mines?

You must visit The Gower Coast.

Yes The Cloggau Gold Mines, now closing. Basically we've run out of Gold!

There are quite a few attractions on the Wales page on trivago. Most of them have a link to the corresponding official site and sometimes other related sites. Some have been reviewed by visitors or have had photographs added. I hope that helps.
