Two North Wales villages have been named among the "greatest" in Britain, according to a 2024 list by The Telegraph which ranks the country's top 30 villages. The list, which spans from Gwynedd to Cumbria and Cornwall, includes four Welsh villages and three Scottish ones. The Telegraph highlighted beauty and authenticity as key factors in their selection, aiming to spotlight villages that remain relatively untouched by mass tourism.
In its introduction, The Telegraph remarked: "Britain has no shortage of eye-catching villages, but a combination of good looks, convenience for day trippers and a few influential endorsements can be enough to turn what was once a peaceful retreat into an overtourism battleground inundated with selfie stick-wielding tourists from April till October."

The full list, along with detailed reasons for each village's inclusion, is available on its website, reports North Wales Live .
