Porthmadog is the perfect place to start your journey of North Wales and the Snowdonia National Park. It's surrounded by mountains to the north and sandy beaches to the south on the Llyn Peninsula.


Getting to Porthmadog from the Midlands is extremely simple either across the country, through Bala or across the top of Wales on the A55. Porthmadog is also served by a great train service that runs on a regular basis. Porthmadog is a bustling town full of shops, bars and great places to eat.


From Aberdunant you can book a taxi for an evening out before returning to your static caravan where you can relax in the tranquil setting the Park has to offer. You can either book a taxi yourself or ask at the Hotel where they will be able to advise of the best service to book.


The town has a strong identity where they are proud of their Welsh heritage and you'll be able to hear Welsh spoken throughout the town and local villages.
