On the edge of Snowdonia National Park, Porthmadog is perfectly situated to explore this stunning park with its beautiful mountains and forests. One such mountain known as Moel y Gest is particularly imposing, rising up to one side of the town. Porthmadog also has the dual benefit of also being near the coast, with easy access to stunning beaches.
If you love Steam Railways then this town is worth visiting with Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland Railways. You can jump on a train at either end of town and enjoy the beautiful scenery flashing by. Otherwise the town itself is home to a lovely selection of shops, cafes and restaurants. Whatever draws you to this Welsh gem, Last Minute Cottages has the ideal late availability deal for your trip to Porthmadog.
