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!!

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.

Lon Las Ogwen offers wonderful views of the north Wales landscape as it climbs south from the coast at Porth Penrhyn in Bangor. Following the valley of Afon Cegin, the trail climbs on old railway cuttings through lovely woodland to Tregarth and into the mountains of Eryri.

Wow, such a long, wide and wild-if-windy beach. Perfect for a gentle stroll, or blowing off the cobwebs, depending on the weather. You get a real sense of isolation here, with not that many fellow walkers, (midweek/October). It's well signposted on the local road, with a small car park. Then around 5mins walk along a sandy path through the dunes... And then - the view! We enjoyed reading the various signs, learning a little of the beach's history and wildlife. (The more signs and info the better methinks. History and wildlife very important, as well as giving areas like these context.) We loved it here, spending a very happy hour, walking part of this huge beach. Oh that we had more time to cover it all...no matter, we'll return someday.

I cannot remember the last time I visited Tywyn but I will be back again soon. We found a good fish and chip shop to have our lunch and was surprised by the number of shops there were there.We went down to the beach and found plenty of benches to sit on and relax. The beach was so clean and you did not have to pay for parking in the car park. Ideal place to take children as there is plenty of sand to make castles. Will be back again soon

This is a great beach, especially if you walk beyond where the road ends. Pebbles and lots of sand at low tide, plus a path on the dunes. You can walk all the way to the end of the accessible part near Fort Belan which is now a private property with some rental units. Amazing photography opportunities over beach and sea towards the mountains, sunrise and sunset both fab. Nearby is Caernarfon airport, a great place to watch the planes while eating something from the cafe. Main part of beach has shops and cafes, but gets busier in peak season.

This is my most favourite beach in the world (and I have been to many). I have been coming here since I was a child. We often stay overnight in our camper van with our dog. Beautiful sunsets, fabulous scenery, miles of beach when tide out, shallow when tide in. Never crowded even in school holidays.

What a beautiful place of earth this is! remote and clean and yet close to all amenities of the hustling and bustling little town of Pwllheli! Here you find both - blue flag beaches, excellent sailing waters, peace and quiet, family fun AND all this only a stroll away from shops and hospitality. What a fabulous experience!
10. Porthor Beach (Whistling Sands)

Reviewed By 356manfredb - Telford, United Kingdom
We travelled to Porth Oer to see the Whistling Sands Beach which we learnt about from watching a TV programme. Althought the short walk from the National Trust Car Park is quite steep it is well worth to see the Whislting Beach with its rugged Coastline. Unfortunately we were unable to witness the "whistling effect" as ther was a very strong wind which drowned out most noises. There are also Coastal Paths which can be taken along the Coast, however we did not do so on this occasion. Well worth a Visit if in the Area!
