We were lucky enough to watch a unicorn being created. Such a fascinating experience! Lovely selection of glass ornaments, and a few Christmas decorations too! The owners are delightful, and the dad jokes were right up my other half’s street! Would highly recommend a visit!

What a fascinating museum packed with fascinating retro memorabilia from the 50s suitable for all ages realy takes you back in time and lets the younger generation experience what it was like in this decade enjoy a cup of tea and biscuits in a period setting, very welcoming staff who are only to willing to help with loads of information only spent 2 hours here could have been much longer will certainly visit again. A little difficult to find sat nav sent me through Denbigh (very narrow streets) but well worth the effort

Plas Newydd Historic House will unfortunately be closed until further notice. Home of the ‘Ladies of Llangollen’ Miss Sarah Ponsonby and Lady Eleanor Butler captured the imagination of Regency society when they ran away and set up home together in Wales. Visit their extraordinary gothicised home and hear of the stream of famous visitors they received. Learn how they won the hearts of local people and turned a simple cottage into a fantasy of oak carvings and stained glass. Stroll through the gardens they developed and try homemade cakes in the tea rooms.

Having a mainly local day to where we were staying Wales we headed into the quaint town of Ruthin, we parked closed to the attraction (£3 all day parking, bargain). We were greeted by two lovely staff who explained about the Goal/Jail, the kids got a quiz, which meant that us adults could wander round with the very informative audio guide, lots of activities and hands on experience, we were not pressed for time and we enjoyed all the aspects of the jail (upstairs you are limited to how far you can go as the building is used as local council archives) though the glassed divider still gives you a great idea of how it would have been, the children 7 and 10 enjoyed the experience of the jail and would happily go back and visit again. A great attraction and reasonable priced entry fee.
9. Valle Crucis Abbey
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 321 reviews
A visit to this fascinating site evokes the lives of the Cistercian monks Cistercian monks loved all things austere. Solitude ruled absolute. Finding this remote yet magical location must have at least raised a smile or two amongst the serious-minded bretheren. Building work got underway in 1201. Seven centuries later and the abbey is one of the best preserved in Wales. The displayed opening times are our general pattern. Please check the Cadw website for specific times and days, including closures.
Reviewed By Scene-set - Wokingham, United Kingdom
.......but we persevered and pleased that we did! Slightly disconcerting approach, as if you are visiting the adjacent caravan park. Once at the Abbey entrance there are parking spaces reserved for visitors (but very few) Although a ‘ruin’ as such, parts are amazingly well preserved and the grounds immaculately maintained. If not for the weather on the day of our visit I would happily have spent a lot longer taking in its history and the solitude that still prevails! (Be aware when exiting onto the main road - traffic seems to travel quite fast and visibility in either direction is not brilliant)

It was fabulous to be riding at Llandegla again today. Such friendly staff, care taken to address COVID Security and wow, the trails have had a lot of work whilst the lockdown has kept us away. The trail pixies have been fixing puddles, creating new feature and just generally making the trails better and better. Back at the trail centre the menu is excellent as ever and service is sorted in a safe, efficient and friendly manner and of course the shop is stocked with great kit! Go ride, go shop, go eat and go ride again!
