We visited BlackRock Llamas this morning and both me , my mum and my 2 boys had the best time!! Very friendly reception with lots of very interesting information and a lovely walk round and fun doing llama agility (which I never even knew existed until today) . I would highly recommend to anyone I know and would certainly go back if in the area again! Thank you!!

A lovely shop which is definitely on the map of must visit stores should you be in Port shopping. I really enjoyed a 3hr course on the 2nd floor - making a dog collar with Fflur Owen who was a great teacher, very helpful and patient. Great idea well executed, thank you Tom for the coffee too! They also do pottery and other crafts so well worth keeping an eye on.

On a recent Tuesday, I tagged along with Hubby whilst he enjoyed a browse around this popular model shop. It's located on the street running inbetween The Original Factory Shop and The Post Office. This business has been run successfully for the last 15 years by a dedicated husband and wife team. The couple always make customers (and dogs) feel welcome and offer advice when needed. In the centre of the shop, there was an impressive 6' x 8' display of the battle of Rorke's Drift (part of the Anglo-Zulu war of 1879). The shelves were well stocked with various boxes of plastic kits and die-cast models. There was everything from Star Trek to Star Wars, motorbikes, cars, planes, tanks and ships. There was also a selection of wargaming figures and diorama accessories. Hubby bought a can of primer spray paint which cost £5.50 (contactless card payment accepted). They also accept telephone/mail orders.

The Ffestiniog Railway takes you on a 13 1/2-mile journey from the harbour in Porthmadog to the slate-quarrying town of Blaenau Ffestiniog. We are recognised by the Guinness Book of World Records as the oldest railway company in the world, being founded in 1832. We still build steam locomotives and carriages in our own workshops and the world's oldest steam engine, Prince, is still in regular use today - more than 150 years after it was built. Our historic trains climb over 700 feet from sea level into the mountains through tranquil pastures and magnificent forests, past lakes and waterfalls, round horseshoe bends (even a complete spiral) clinging to the side of the mountain or tunnelling through it. The Welsh Highland is Snowdonia's newest railway. Trains start their spectacular 25 mile scenic journey from beneath the historic castle walls at Caernarfon. The trains - hauled by the world's most powerful narrow gauge steam locomotives - climb from sea level to over 650 feet on the foothills of Snowdon, before zig-zagging dramatically down the steep hillside to reach Beddgelert, nestling in the heart of the National Park, then through the magnificent Aberglaslyn Pass - voted the most beautiful spot in the UK by the National Trust - and on to Porthmadog.

Visiting family in Pwllheli, a visit to the Purple Moose shop was an obvious choice. I have long been a fan of Dark Side of the Moose and a mixed case of Dark Side and Ysgawen will keep me going for a while! The staff in the shop are extremely helpful and the selection of merchandise is wide ranging. I’ll definitely be back again when next in North Wales.
