The North Wales Borderlands. You can virtually reach out and touch us. We’re that part of Wales between Chester to the east and Snowdonia to the west. Very handy for both. Even better as a destination in our own right.
This is one of our borders. Slap bang in the middle of the River Dee. Don’t worry, there’s a bridge. The largest asymmetric cable-stayed bridge in Britain, as it happens.
Our many other border crossings are equally accessible, by road or rail. If a little less dramatic. Often only a welcome sign on the verge gives the game away. But you’ll soon know you’ve arrived somewhere rather different.
After all, this is a place where two countries meet. It’s a short journey but a big change in atmosphere, culture and countryside. Think of it as crossing over to the other side.
You can’t be here all of the time, that's why it's a good idea to bring your camera, and we would love to see any photographs taken in wonderful Wales.
So we have decided to give away a digital camera to the best one. If you fancy a go why not enter our photo competition.

We Welsh have always been an independent lot. It didn’t always go down very well with our English friends across the border.
