A Welsh village has been named the best holiday destination in the UK. Betws-y-Coed in Conwy is seen by many as the "gateway to Eryri" and boasts incredible views, fantastic walking trails, and glorious forests so we're not overly surprised it's been recognised by the team at Go Outdoors as the best place for a holiday in the UK.
The outdoor clothing and equipment company has compiled their 2023 UK Holiday Hotspots list and five Welsh destinations made the top 20. Villages, towns, and cities across the UK were judged on a variety of factors including their "natural environment," the range of activities they offer, and the quality of their bike tours, nature and wildlife tours, and hiking trails, as reported by NorthWalesLive.
Betws-y-Coed scored 8.4 out of a maximum 10 points in GoOutdoor's findings with Ambleside in Cumbria placed a close second with 8.37 points out of 10. In the bronze medal position St Ives in Cornwall scored 8.1 out of 10.
