Lleol · Why it matters

The local knowledge Wales runs on

Google, AI assistants and social media answer the tourist basics in seconds. But they are only as good as their sources, and accurate local information is getting harder to find. Croeso's job is to be that source for every town we cover: checked, kept up to date and written by people who know the place. So every site is being rebuilt to serve the people who live there as well as the people who visit.

Beth rydym yn ei wneud · What we do

More than a guide

Each Croeso site is a small local publication for its town. Together they give Wales something few places still have: independent local media, town by town.

Amdanom ni · About us

Independent, Welsh, and here for the long run

Croeso is the trading name of Welcome Group Ltd, an independent publisher based in Llandudno. The network has grown over many years into 57 local sites across Wales and the borders, and every one is being rebuilt as proper local media: as useful to the people who live in a town as to the people who visit it.

We're not a tourist board, a council or a national chain. We're local and independent, and we're on the side of the places we write about and the businesses and communities in them.
