House prices in the North Wales town of Porthmadog have skyrocketed 134% over the last decade - the fastest rise of any seaside town in Wales and England.
The annual Halifax Seaside Town Review tracks house price movements in 136 seaside
towns in England and Wales.
The average cost of a home in the Gwynedd town is £162,638 - in 2003 it was around £54,000,
The figures, released by Halifax show Porthmadog top the poll ahead of Seaham and Newbiggin-by-the-Sea which came in second and third places respectively.
Both these coastal towns are in the North East and have seen house prices more than double over the last decade.
The only seaside towns in the south of England to make it on to the “top 10” fastest rising house prices list were St Mawes and Perranporth, which are both in Cornwall.
The coastal towns at the top of the list tend to have seen prices rising sharply from a relatively low base.
