Nercwys Forest

Reviewed By Dataflow - Chester, United Kingdom

If you venture off the beaten paths here - starting at the corner through the style you are treated to some lovely hidden paths. Nothing wrong with the bigger paths but I prefer wandering through the older parts of the woods where the trees are closer together and the path less obvious.

Wepre Park

Reviewed By Philfromcheshire

I have visited here several times and it still remains very popular for everyone. Plenty of parking spaces,but it can get busy during holiday time. There is a lovely visitors centre which has a map of Wepre Park,public toilets and a cafe which serves hot and cold food and ice cream.You can sit outside the information centre with your dog on a lead.There is also some benches and rocks to sit on under the trees.There are picnic tables near by. Plenty of well worn paths leading you in various directions around Wepre Park.There is also a boarded path which is great for anyone using pushchairs,you can walk down to the river and dogs and children can have a paddle. Lots of birds and wildlife can be heard as you walk through the Brook walk. There are plenty of benches to sit and relax on along the way. You can also take a visit up to Ewloe Castle or take the many steps up to what was an old golf course.It is now a wildlife area full of bullrushes and wild flowers.You then follow the path through woodland to the Rosie Pool which is popular with people who want to fish. You can walk around Rosie Pool,but if you have a dog you must keep the dog on a lead. There is also a lovely little garden behind the visitors centre which the staff/volunteers do keep tidy.Although there was a few bottles and cans thrown in the small pond,lots of wildlife to see and benches to sit and relax. There is also a large playground for children,teenagers and adults and a skate park near to the car park.There is so much for children to see and do here and on a nice day it is nice to take a picnic and relax. The park is very popular with walkers,joggers,mountain bikers,dog walkers and families but also nice if you want a relaxing stroll on your own. I would definitely recommend a visit.

Moel Famau

Reviewed By 911Wiggy - Caerwys, United Kingdom

Fantastic 360 views from the top of the highest hill in the Clwydian range. Car park £2 all day and toilets, picnic tables and children’s play area so great day out. Took us 40 mins to get to the Jubilee tower at the top and with circular walk via Offa’s Dyke oath, our visit was 2 hours total. Be warned though this is a popular place especially on sunny days

Gladstone's Library

Gladstone's Library is one of a kind - a residential library and meeting place dedicated to dialogue, debate and learning for open-minded individuals.

Reviewed By stearl2016 - Liverpool, United Kingdom

We had a lovely afternoon tea in the Gladstone Library. It was exceptionally good. Firstly the sandwiches were fresh with lots of filling, the scones were very good plenty of fruit in them. The eclairs were the best we’ve ever tasted and the chocolate covered coconut was truly amazing. The meringue cream was so good too. To complete, there was a really nice chocolate sponge cake full of cream and jam. And there was a piece of quiche as well. The service was quick, attentive and friendly couldn’t have wished for more. Thank you all.

Whatever the weather DangerPoint has something for everyone. We are an independent charity based in Talacre, North Wales.

Reviewed By ManPick - Manchester, United Kingdom

Visited with my husband and 4 and half year old. What a unique place. Your given a work book to play detective and make your way through a variety of different themed spaces - all educational . EG road safety, internet safety , kitchen safety , bullying etc You have to do various activities or watch short videos in each section then answer questions in your work book. We had the added bonus of it being Easter and there being hidden eggs you had to find in each area to claim a chocolate prize . Although most of it went over my little boys head he still loved it as we did.

Talacre Beach

Reviewed By 326laylas - Staffordshire, United Kingdom

We stopped in a caravan park only 6 mins away from the Beach. The Beach was fairly quite, not overcrowded and lots of space. It was clean and well looked after. We even did nice a walk through the sand dunes a few times. Just by the Beach three is a chip shop, a bakery, resturant, ice cream shop and a souvenir shop with the usual bucket and spade etc. Talacre beach feels like a secret hidden treasure... so beautiful and peaceful too.
