Wild Bushcraft Company

The Wild Bushcraft Company provides fully immersive outdoor experiences like no other. Just imagine escaping deep into the woods for the weekend, sleeping under canvas, cooking over campfires and being completely absorbed in learning a new skill - be that fire lighting, knife making, bow-making or venison butchery. We are really big on food, and meat in particular. We are experts in deer stalking and offer the only course in the UK where you can learn how to butcher and cook your own venison - the popular Stalk to Fork experience. We can make the experience as fun and accessible as you want it to be - we cater for individuals, couples, families, stag and hen parties and corporate groups. You tell us what you want to get of your time with us and we will craft an experience you will never forget. We are based in North Wales but operate across the UK all year round.

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.

Valle Crucis Abbey

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)

Rhuddlan Castle

The castle remained faithful to the Edwardian principle of seaborne access Rhuddlan. What’s in a name? ‘Rhudd’ is the old Welsh word for ‘red’ and ‘glan’ means ‘bank’. The Normans left us with ‘roe’, a word derived from the French ‘le rous’, meaning redhead. ‘Roeland’ is first mentioned in 1086 but by 1277 it was known as Rhuddlan and Edward I’s chosen location for a mighty scary castle. The displayed opening times are our general pattern. Please check the Cadw website for specific times and days, including closures.

Reviewed By Old_Nottinghamian - Nottingham, United Kingdom

£4.20 entry per adult. Dog friendly. Free parking. Really impressive ruin with circular wall and towers, one of which you can climb via a very modern steel staircase, to access an excellent view of the surrounding area. Well worth a visit. Good spot for a picnic. The toilet was very clean with fresh flowers, nappies and toiletries, and is apparently looked after by the "custodians".

Denbigh Castle

Denbigh’s finest feature is its striking triple-towered great gatehouse. Want to get a historian really excited? Mention Denbigh’s triple-towered great gatehouse. Probably one of the seven wonders of Wales. We think you’ll agree. The displayed opening times are our general pattern. Please check the Cadw website for specific times and days, including closures.

Reviewed By rakaana - Sheffield, United Kingdom

The castle sits proudly at the top of the town and is easily accessible on foot. Book your tickets in advance, only £2 a person. Friendly staff at the entrance and covid secure protocols are in place. Lovely to walk around with information boards to explain different parts of the castle and stunning views of the local area. There is also a little cafe/gift shop. Well worth it!
