A beach less than a three hour drive away from Greater Manchester has been named one of the best in Britain, according to a new study. Abersoch Beach, located in the south-eastern corner of the Llyn Peninsula, North Wales, came out on top in a list published by the AA.
It analysed 70 beaches and coastal towns across England, Scotland and Wales. The areas were ranked according to several factors, such as visitor reviews, dog-friendliness and if there’s a beachside carpark.
