    North Wales is bilingual.

According to the census of 2005, 68.7% of the people in [wiki=bd45258700c4ea9129a42fb9b8b9e295]Gwynedd[/wiki] can speak Welsh.

    • By Car

      The main roads into North Wales from [wiki=64f607906be7598a02d75dbc1e979662]England[/wiki] are the A55 which runs along the north coast, connecting with the M56 and M53 near [wiki=2074fbf44ff6179f59b43c491cc06b62]Chester[/wiki], and the A5, which leaves the M54 at [wiki=27fe56b89bb41bda1bd489367f044b14]Shrewsbury[/wiki] and heads west to [wiki=6d930c60831ec792cb69d98a81727131]Betws y Coed[/wiki] and then north-west to [wiki=672bffeccf3aa884cf01c8cce81a8f6a]Bangor[/wiki].

      Note that only the A55 is a dual carriageway, and that overtaking on the other A-roads is not always possible. If time is of the essence, it is generally a good idea to travel on the A55 as far as possible. If not, the other roads are much more scenic.

    • Heritage Railways

      For many visitors to North Wales, the main draw is the number of historic steam railways in the area. Some, such as the Bala Lake Railway and Llangollen Railway, run on stretches of lines that were part of the national railways network until the infamous Beeching cuts closed many lines in the 1960s. Others, including the Talyllyn and Ffestiniog Railways, were built by mine or quarry owners to transport their produce (usually slate) down to a port or to a mainline train station. Most of the railways are owned and run by societies of volunteer enthusiasts.

    The Wales the True Taste [url=http://www.walesthetruetaste.co.uk/]]campaign has been very successful in promoting the use of local ingredients in recent years, and even fairly low-key restaurants and pubs will often have a sign telling you where all of their ingredients are sourced.

    Perhaps the most high-profile local ingredient is lamb, you certainly won't spend long in North Wales before you see your first sheep! All the post-Chernobyl restrictions on welsh lamb have finally been lifted (2012). Artisan cheeses abound, look out for the Snowdonia Creamery range, among others. Fresh, local seafood can be excellent, especially on the [[Lleyn[/url]].
