Deganwy, just along the coast, offers a similar small-community atmosphere with a railway station, easy A55 access and its own GP, dentist, pharmacy and primary school. Penrhyn brings a strong education offer with Welsh-medium primary and secondary schools, plus low and falling crime, though you'll need a car as public transport is thin on the ground.
