Had an amazing time! I’m an absolute novice whilst my partner has had some previous experience riding. I was super nervous but the instructors where fantastic and really helpful with tips and advice for when my horse (Jaycob) thought he could stop for a grass snack at any given opportunity haha. I felt more confident as the time went on! It really exceeded my expectations and we would definitely do it again! Highly recommend for anyone wanting a different experience whilst visiting wales :)

Rain or shine, come and climb! Beacon Climbing Centre is an exciting all weather venue, with fun activities suitable for the whole family. It's great fun for kids and the perfect antidote to boring gym regimes for adults! Conquer our high roped walls for an unbeatable sense of achievement, experience the freedom of climbing without using a rope in our low level bouldering areas or try something that's entirely off-the-wall: CrazyClimb featuring a series of wacky climbing challenges! No previous experience is required and anyone can have a go. Spectators can watch for free, there is an awesome café on site, and free WiFi is available throughout the centre.

Lovely walk through the Welsh countryside and woods. There are several paths to take, well signed with intermittent posts and coloured arrows. Beautiful scenery and great for dogs. Our walk took approximately an hour.

Private guided sightseeing tours in Snowdonia, North Wales and all of Wales. Celticos is a small, specialist registered company who offer a range of private, customised guided tours and services to meet all the specific needs and requirements of our clientele. Our driver guides Alwyn & Carl are both Welsh-born & bred so are able to offer you a truly authentic experience of their Welsh heritage and upbringing. Welsh being their first language enables them to talk about and explain Welsh place names and maybe even teach you a bit of their mother tongue. They are both extremely proud of their country and they will, without doubt, enthral you with many myths, legends and other tales. We are based in the heart of North West Wales and ideally positioned on the shores of the Menai Strait, between the mountains of Snowdonia and the Isle of Anglesey.
7. Aberglaslyn Pass

Reviewed By janicehughes4 - Cardiff, United Kingdom
We parked at the Aberglaslyn national trust car park and walked to Beddgelert and back. The river was in full flow after heavy rain, which made the waterfalls dramatic. The first part of the route is a narrow rocky path. We didn't feel unsafe, but it is reasonably challenging walking and you do need good walking boots. The second part is an easy strong on a well made path into Beddgelert.
8. Caernarfon Castle
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 4,011 reviews
After all these years Caernarfon’s immense strength remains undimmed. A brute of a fortress. Caernarfon Castle’s pumped-up appearance is unashamedly muscle-bound and intimidating. Picking a fight with this massive structure would have been a daunting prospect. By throwing his weight around in stone, King Edward I created what is surely one of the most impressive of Wales’s castles. Worthy of World Heritage status no less. Please check the Cadw website for specific times and days, including closures.

The castle is huge, be prepared for a lot of climbing up steep narrow stairs to negotiate walking right around the castle battlements. There is an interesting short film to watch giving the history of the castle which is worth watching and quite a big museum which is devoted to the history of the Royal Welsh Fusiliers . The views from the towers over the town and the water are very good. We enjoyed walking around the town afterwards.

What a great day out! You could easily spend all day here, plenty to do. We were a party of six, grandparents with our seven year old twin granddaughters and their parents.It was a reasonable price and good value for money. Plenty going on including sheep racing,donkey/pony grooming, donkey rides, face painting, various animals, a model railway, also a train ride through the park (which is included in the entry price) go-carts, a zip wire, Fairy Princess (whre you ge a lucky stone and "fairy dust") plus the usual "gift shop" cafe and ice creams. Plenty of picnic areas, we were fortunate we had really good weather. All these items were free the only other charge we saw was for "mini diggers"
