Question 2

What are the best road trip destinations near Penygroes?

Accepted Answer

With some great day trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense.

Nefyn Beach and Plas-yn-Rhiw are interesting attractions too. The locals will also probably point you in the direction of Betws-Y-Coed, 20 miles away. If you only see one attraction here, let it be Swallow Falls. (But we're also big fans of Dolwyddelan Castle and Gwydyr Forest.)
