Mountains, coast and six counties
North Wales runs from the Isle of Anglesey and the Llŷn Peninsula in the west to Wrexham and the Dee estuary in the east, with the mountains of Eryri at its heart. It covers six counties: Anglesey, Gwynedd, Conwy, Denbighshire, Flintshire and Wrexham, home to around 700,000 people.
It is a working, Welsh-speaking region as much as a holiday destination. Welsh is part of everyday life, especially in Gwynedd and on Anglesey, and the region has strong industries alongside farming and tourism. NorthWales.com covers it all: local news, events, guides and the businesses that make the area tick.
