Group Holidays and Activities in North Wales
Is Hawarden a good place for a group holiday in North Wales?
Hawarden village has recently featured twice in the Sunday Times Best Places to Live in Britain, which says a lot and makes those of us who live here very proud. It’s beautiful, and there’s loads to do nearby or further afield. It’s the perfect place to come and enjoy a group holiday.
Hawarden itself is home to a number of excellent local businesses including a perfect general store, a flower shop and a thriving beauty salon.
Our aim is to make Hawarden Estate a place that’s full of life, and that feels truly relevant in a changing world.
