North Wales has changed a lot since the 1980s, when Rhyl was the favoured holiday destination for families across the North West.  The region has recently been reinvented, with investment in world class attractions such as Surf Snowdonia, a 300m surf lagoon, and the rather frightening-looking Zip World, which has locations in Snowdonia, Betws Y Coed and the slate caverns of Blaenau Ffestiniog. Rhyl is also being redeveloped, with work recently commencing on an £85m Ocean Plaza to replace the famous funfair. +
