Planning Your North Wales Hot Tub Holiday
Best Time to Visit North Wales
Summer is fantastic for beach days on Anglesey and enjoying the long evenings. However, spring and autumn are often considered the best times for adventurers, with cooler weather for hiking and fewer crowds. A cosy winter break in a mountain lodge, with the hot tub steaming under a dark sky, is also a magical experience.
Getting to North Wales
North Wales is very accessible. The A55 "North Wales Expressway" is the main route, making it an easy drive from the North West of England. Driving times are approximately 1.5-2 hours from Manchester, 1 hour from Liverpool, and 2 hours from Birmingham.
What to Pack
For a North Wales adventure, layering is key! Pack waterproofs and good hiking boots for the mountains, whatever the season. But don't forget your swimwear for the hot tub and beach, and a camera for those incredible views.
