Caravanners visiting Wales are now able to enjoy one site all year round.

Ogwen Bank Caravan Park in Bethesda has been granted permission to stay open 365 days a year by Gwynedd council, BBC News reports.

The controversial plans had been opposed over fears that it could have a detrimental effect on the Welsh language but the planning inspector dismissed these claims.

Ogwen Bank Caravan Park is normally closed for six weeks of the year but these new regulations will allow holidaymakers to enjoy the facility whatever the weather.

The site sits in North Wales and not only provides the perfect location for exploring the Welsh countryside but is also a short drive from the coast and the lively town of Bangor.

This news comes just after Glencote Caravan Park in Staffordshire was granted the same licence, ensuring that it can remain open during the Christmas period as well as the rest of the year.
