Our shopping scene prizes the personal over the pre-packaged and the hand-made over the mass-produced. Of course, you’ll find the usual high street names, but they are just a small part of our unique retail landscape.
Shopping is always a pleasure in the friendly, family-run stores populating high streets in places like Bala, Caernarfon, Dolgellau, Llanrwst and Pwllheli. Our shops are vital parts of their communities. Warm welcomes come as standard, whether you’re local or a visitor. For further details on shopping local visit the Buy Local Gwynedd Facebook page.
