Best Things to do in Pwllheli

There is also an eclectic collection of Pwllheli shops to explore, with the town being filled by quirky local entrepreneurs and famous high street names.

One of the primary reasons that North Wales has been named one of the best places to visit by Lonely Planet is the wide selection of visitor attractions that the region has to offer. This includes world famous natural wonders such as Snowdonia which is sure to prove to be a real challenge for rambling enthusiasts. Nevertheless, it is still well worth making the journey all the way to the top so that you can admire the wonderful views that are on offer overlooking the beautiful North Wales region.
If walking isn’t really your thing but you’d still like to marvel at the vistas Snowdon affords, then you can simply hop on the Snowdon Mountain Railway which will take you all the way to the summit.
One of the slightly more modern attractions that is attracting visitors from across the world is the ever growing ZipWorld.
