Please note: admission is by prebooked tickets only. Tickets can be obtained from the website www.nationaltrust.org.uk/bodnant-garden Nestled in the foothills of Snowdonia in North Wales, Bodnant Garden National Trust is a garden for all seasons. Located on a Conwy Valley hillside the 80 acre garden descends dramatically from neat lawns and grand, flower-filled terraces, through informal shrub borders, meadows and woods, to a valley of water gardens and giant trees. In the spring enjoy displays of daffodils, camellias, magnolias and rhododendrons; rose gardens, lily ponds, billowing flower beds and wildflower meadows in summer; a treescape of rich leaf colour in autumn; and acres of bright, frosty landscapes in winter.

Bodnant Garden is truly one of the great gardens in the UK.Visited it for the second time on a recent extended UK tour after 20 years absence to see it again and share the experience with my wife.The day long journey was more than worth it. On a perfect May day with rhodos and azaleas as well as most spring flowers in full bloom.The trek down the slope and back was surreal.Several trails with different slopes and vistas ;all magnificent a gardeners delight! Not to be missed.Afternoon topped off by a cream tea and Ice cream outside the teahouse.Just plain great!Well worth the time and entry fee ( which is waived for National Trust members.

Save £3 and park in the village just up by the hotel, then take advantage of the most educational free public toilet in the UK. The Easy Route is well named and for the majority of the population , including push chairs, wheelchairs and intrepid flip flop wearers, the path is clear and the falls are truly lovely, especially on a warm day when you can paddle in pristine cold water. For the fitter, braver, boot wearing traveller the route down along the Harder Path takes in another smaller waterfall and a tougher, longer path strewn with boulders, muddy patches, steep up and down sections and sheep. Dogs on leads essential and the last mile is vertigo territory. You'll be thankful you didn't choose this route to start with. The scenery is stunning , an overheard comment being "It's like a mini Yosemite".

Conwy Mountain is lovely to visit. Actually finding the base of the mountain was a bit challenging as we kept going the wrong way but it is straightforward if you know the way! It's a lovely walk up the mountain via the easiest walk and not very strenuous at all. There are wild ponies on the mountain and sheep which is a nice bonus. The views are stunning. Most people seemed to be equipped with hiking boots and walking poles etc although on a nice day a pair of trainers were more than adequate.

We have been passed here several times but decided to call in on our way home. I thought £6 was quite steep for entrance but it was well spent on an enjoyable time. the noise of the A55 wasn't too distracting whilst admiring the views of the hills and along the conwy estuary. All the bird watchers were keen to help us identify species we weren't familiar with enthusiastic discriptions. There are lots of hides to sit in to get out of the cold wind. Would be worth becomin a member of the RSPB and visit regularly. A lovely walk.

Beautiful Gardens on the Great Orme, overseeing Llandudno bay, with great views of the Pier, Promenade, and Little Orme. There are loads of picturesque sightlines within the Gardens that are great for photos, so much so you'll have to keep stopping in your tracks to make sure you capture the moment. The Garden has somewhat of a Alice in Wonderland theme, with wooden sculptures and a band stand being themed off characters from the story. This has been done as a reference to how Alice's real life inspiration, Alice Liddell used to go on holidays to Llandudno as a child. Good for picnics, as unlike the Promenade there aren't any seagulls trying to the steal your food, and there is also a small cafe if you didn't bring along any food. There are plenty of benches spread out across the gardens, if you want to take a rest from walking or you just want to soak in the views. Alternatively, you could also use the lawn to sit down and admire the view or have a look at it's landmarks including the aforementioned band stand, stone circle, and Queen Victoria bust. Nearby is a Cable Car Ride, which for the brave traveller, rewards them with even greater views of the Orme, though it is a bit pricey at £11 per person for a return ticket. Overall the place is a must visit when coming to Llandudno, as it's only a short walk from the promenade, it's views are outstanding, and most importantly it's free.

A great place for a nice easy walk through the woods, really worth going to the top for the fantastic views of the valley and sea.
