Nice for a walk and unwind after touring all day. Nice wide paths so easy interaction with push bike riders. And little side tracks to take in the view of the water or lake

Very beautiful park located in the Killarney area. The park itself is very big and has several point of entries. Regardless of where you go in, its nature will be as good. Highly recommend to take advantage of the beautiful walking trails and enjoy the views.

Breathtaking Beauty - Killarney National Park Driving through Killarney National Park was truly stunning! The park's breathtaking scenery, with its lakes,mountains, and woodlands, took our breath away. We enjoyed the scenic drive, taking in the picturesque views and stopping at the various lookout points. Highlights: - Stunning Scenery: Breathtaking views of lakes, mountains, and woodlands - Scenic Drive:Enjoyable drive with plenty of opportunities to stop and take in the views - Wildlife Spotting: Caught glimpses of local wildlife, adding to the experience Killarney National Park is a natural gem in Ireland's southwest. Whether you're a nature lover or simply seeking stunning views, this park is a must-visit.

What a peaceful place. Such a great wee spot to stop, take in the peace and tranquility. If you get the chance e, stop in say a prayer if that's your thing or just walks the grounds and reflect on lost ones.... such peace

VAST! We didn't even go to the more famous ones, muckross and torc waterfall but it took us half a day where we were! I could be in here for days!!! Beautiful nature, well marked trail, well maintained but kept wild.

Beautiful sites and very peaceful. Plenty of walking trails, and boat tours of the lake are offered. We also saw a few adorable deer!

The Nationalpark is a wonderful place to take a stroll and to relax at the seas or at the different locations where you can have a nice cup of tea or coffee while having a wonderful view at the rich and beautiful landscape.

Other worldly. Entering the house is like going back into a moment of time. Horse drawn carriages passing by the lake infront of the house, the majestic trees that line the victorian gardens, all add to the feeling that life here was a real privilege.

Used to come to muckross on family holiday as a child and recently returned as an adult with my own family. Charm and beauty are timeless. Stunning grounds, plenty of parking, self paced tour with information shared by staff in every room. The details and beauty are hard not to appreciate long after your visit. Cafe has great food and beverage options. Farms are closed seasonally beginning in November which is something to keep on mind if that's of interest. Honestly visiting in early November meant very few crowds which was great. Highly recommend during your trip to Killarney, like 11k others have also shared 😀

Really enjoyed the serenity in and around Muckross house. We didn’t have time to walk on many of the trails, but still had time to view the natural beauty surrounding the home. Such a peaceful little hour. Highly recommend to check it out if you’re in the area in Ireland.

Nicely taken care of property. Well worth the visit. We enjoyed the buildings and talking to the staff who were knowledgeable and willing to share information about the house and former residents. It’s a great stop and pleasant grounds.

Wow! Wow! It was my first house, more like a castle - I have visited! So, well looked after! Amazing, each room with its own story. Precisly after watch "house of Guiness" apparently Edward Arthur Guiness owned the house for some time. Highly recommend to visit! And ask ppl working there about the house story! We were amazed how much they can tell.

Well priced for all that you get to see and learn. The booklet guide is very useful from room to room. The exhibit attendants were full of knowledge about each room as well as very polite and helpful sharing their favorite parts and other stories not in the guidebook.

We had a fantastic time visiting Muckross House, the Traditional Irish Farm, and the stunning surrounding grounds. The house itself is beautifully preserved, full of history, and offers a fascinating glimpse into Ireland’s past. The Traditional Farm was equally enjoyable, with charming cottages, demonstrations, and farm animals that really bring rural life from years gone by to life. The grounds are absolutely breathtaking , perfect for a leisurely walk, taking in the gardens, woodlands, and lakeside views. Everywhere we went felt peaceful and well cared for. All of the staff we met were warm, welcoming, and knowledgeable, which made the experience even more enjoyable. From start to finish, it was a brilliant day out, and I’d highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area, whether you’re interested in history, nature, or simply looking for a lovely place to spend the day.

We spent the day exploring Killarney National Park. Torc Waterfall was a lovely little stop. We found the parking lot easily. From there it's about a 5 minute easy walk to the falls. The forest is incredible. It was almost like being in a surprise tropical rain forest. It was amazing how the landscape of this immediate area is so different from other parts of the area. The trees are covered with moss. There are giant ferns all over the place. I think there were about a hundred different colors of green. It was glorious. The falls themselves are beautiful. Lots of visitors but people were very polite.

A gorgeous waterfall. We stopped here because our tour bus took us to this location and we are really glad that he did! A simple stop but yet a beautiful waterfall and stream leading from it.

Don't be lazy and walk up to the top and into the park. There you'll be surrounded by the scent of nature. Nature will show you its beauty.

Nice circular walk. Waterfall itself easy to access. Is crowded but not prohibitively so. We parked in an alternative parking area 5 min walk away. The walking trail was nice. No charge to park.

The waterfall is amazing but the spot is very touristic and even in october on a random thursday it was crowded. You only need to walk about 200m from parking lot and it’s an easy path.

A hidden gem in Killarney. It's just about 5min (200m) walk away from the car park. Another great work of nature. Took some pictures at the first level. There is another higher grounds which I didn't see. You'll love the woods here as they have a story to tell. There is a toilet facility very close to the car park and the National Park is just opposite. The Torc Waterfall is close to other great works of life in Co. Kerry so create sufficient time for your visit.

This waterfall appears to be the main attraction, but there are numerous paths to climb and explore in the surrounding area. I recommend renting a bike for a day to fully enjoy the bottom area and its surroundings.

This is so worth the visit and it is for all ages. Having not only the castle but the village houses with the thatched roofs and fires burning in the fireplaces burning peat gave you the authentic feeling. Staff were so friendly and happy to chat to you about the history. Plenty of space to park and for kids to run around.

Great experience, we weren't entirely sure what this was when we decided to go, we were just looking for something to do on our last full day in Ireland that was on our way back to Dublin and we stopped here. It was amazing! Whole little old time village with houses and stores and a blacksmith that was actually blacksmithing and teaching about what a blacksmith does and then there was the castle which was also very cool. As you enter there was a man playing Irish folk tunes on his fiddle, it was all very charming. We didn't have any kids with us, but there were child specific activities and a few animals to see as well as a train that can drive you around the town. Overall great experience, would definitely recommend stopping by!

We spent a truly memorable afternoon at Bunratty Castle & Folk Park — a place where history, fun and a touch of magic come together. The grand medieval castle rises impressively above the grounds: restored to its former glory, it offers access to four towers and richly furnished living spaces that bring the 15th and 16th centuries to life.  In front of the castle lies the folk park—a living, breathing slice of 19th-century Ireland with charming thatched cottages, old trades, a village street with shops, and costumed interpreters walking around.  We wandered through the various buildings, peeked into traditional homes, learned about old-time crafts and daily life, and really felt immersed in the past. Since we visited during the Halloween week, the place became even more special: the entire grounds were transformed into a “haunted village” with spooky touches, ghostly characters, an enchanted train ride and plenty of fun for all ages.  Kids and grown-ups alike enjoyed the mix of history and seasonal excitement. The fauna on site added another layer of appeal: from proud Irish wolfhounds strolling the grounds to farm-animals like pigs, hens, and ponies, you’ll find plenty of life around you.  The large playground and outdoor spaces meant our little one had plenty of room to roam, which was a huge plus. There is a lovely café too, offering warm snacks, cakes and scones — which makes a perfect stop as you pause from exploring. All in all, we spent about 2-3 hours here and could easily have stayed longer (especially if you combine the castle towers, folk park walk and café break). If you’re travelling in Ireland and want a destination that appeals to history buffs, families, and those looking for something fun with a bit of character — Bunratty is a wonderful choice.

This is pure tourist traps at it's finest. That said, it's great for families and if you see and do everything you could easily spend 3+ hours here. We did the dinner experience at the castle too (food was about 1 star). Not a must see for me. But if you want a very curated experience of medieval Ireland it checks the boxes. Be warned, this is a major tour bus stop and the crowds can be massive at peak travel times. Ireland in October is superb if you want to avoid this but still have gorgeous weather IMO.

The castle itself was a bit of a downer, as well most are, as they illustrate how people lived fought and died there. the place was cool though. The park it's located in is absolutely fabulous! Gardens, old houses, shops, animals, photo opportunities? endless. I would set aside about 4 hours to let it all sink in.

Such a fun day. Lots to see and do for the family and a lot of farm animals to pet and see. Actors are informative and friendly and you can go most places in the castle if you are brave enough to walk all the stairs in the towers.

Excellent Halloween Frolics Between Dracula and the Devil in stilts at the entrance, a violin playing zombie, an array of zombies, criminals and witches to "harass" (in a fun way) you while you walk around, a train ride (with more scaries to entertain you), a séance, regular juggling comedic acts there was so much to entertain you and spend the day for a family. Great day out.

This hotel really is one of the most welcoming, accommodating and relaxing hotels. Overall, everything was just perfect for us. Lovely, welcoming and attentive staff. Excellent food and service. We had a perfect couple of days and the beautiful weather was an absolute bonus. Definitely recommend.

The hotel was absolutely amazing 10/10! I stayed a while ago, and from the moment I arrived at reception, the staff were super friendly and welcoming. The weather was perfect, which made the whole experience even better. The spa and food were pure luxury, and the cocktails were incredible. The staff in general were really kind and attentive specially a Spanish guy from the lounge who made some truly outstanding cocktails. Overall, such a friendly atmosphere and top-notch service.

Stayed for two nights in the hotel. Quiet weekend break, essentially staying in hotel for the 2 days. Made use of the fantastic spa and had some treatments. Ate in the restaurant and bar both nights. Stands out as our best hotel stay in Ireland - staff go above and beyond and are so helpful. Excellent areas in hotel for unwinding, lounge area was fantastic, and restaurant with sea views fantastic. Complimentary chocolates both nights and homemade jam on checkout were nice touches.

Beautiful hotel. Wonderful staff, delicious food, great spa facilities. A welcome drink on arrival and a little gift on departure. The room was spacious, and had a sea view. Only downsides: no bath, no aircon, no usb sockets.

Outstanding service staff lovely and welcoming. The hotel facilities are 5 star. My wife has just commented that we've been coming here for 20 years and I had to pause as its mad to think that . Hopefully we'll be coming at least another 20yrs as its our No1 breakaway in Ireland.

Great hotel. Breakfast room should be made larger, waiting 40 mins for a table. Pool is way too salty, kids (and adult) eye irritation. Used once and wouldnt go back to it. Everything else great.

Peaceful, beautiful location and lovely attentive staff. The seafood dishes we ordered weren’t great (please don’t serve a foam when you have a bisque on the menu, the foam is really past its sell-by date in the food world), but all the other food was wonderful for breakfast and dinner.

Very interesting castle; it is a well-designed museum with interactive experiences for children and curious adults. The first part is a historic path with many details, followed by a visit to the castle itself with beautiful views and some games. It’s worth setting aside 1–2 hours to enjoy the visit calmly

You are able to climb up all the towers they do have a few rooms with artifacts to see and very nice walkthrough museum. You can also get underneath and look at all the original structures. Obviously the castle has seen its fair share of seiges over the years So not necessarily everything has survived or is in great shape but they continue to do excavations and renovations.

Very interesting & informative place to visit, a large multimedia exhibition followed by a wander around the castle. Tickets were 15 euro which I felt for reasonable for how much there was there, and also had some medieval style games to try (needless to say we were terrible at the horseshoe throw). Lovely views from the tower over the river Shannon.

King John’s Castle is one of the main attractions in Limerick. I enjoyed all the fun facts throughout the castle, and the self tour didn’t take too long, making it easy to fit into a day’s itinerary. If you’re visiting during the busy season, I’d recommend purchasing tickets online. There are interactive activities to keep kids entertained, plus beautiful views from the castle. The gift shop offers a wide variety of souvenirs, and conveniently, there’s a cozy coffee shop connected to it.

I really enjoyed this castle. The layout and the stories relayed in the first bit are done really well and are very interesting. The castle is in decent shape with some activities for kids. There is a parking lot for the castle just a few minutes walk away. Worth the stop

There’s lots to see in the museum part of the castle where history is told with photos and videos. This castle has a very large courtyard with sections showing a blacksmith shop and others. And you can pose with your head in a photograph with an executioner. There are spiral staircases leading to several rooms in the castle and you can climb to the top of two towers for fantastic views of the whole area. There is a large gift shop in the large glass building with a café. The entrance to the castle and displays is in the brick building, beside the glass building.

The exhibits are masterfully done and are very engaging. We enjoyed learning about the lives of Irish people in the 13-15th centuries. We also had fun with the crafts and activities laid out in the castle courtyard. The views from the top of the battlements were spectacular.

Took my kids (8&12) who enjoyed the castle for 20 minutes or so. We didn't take the guided tour, just walked around. The cemetery was impressive to the kids, so was the kitchen display. I enjoyed it a lot! Worth the visit in my opinion. We walked around town afterwards, nice little place.

The moment you arrive, the place hits you with this incredible mix of history, majesty, and pure ‘wow.’ The views alone are worth the journey, along with that unmistakable feeling of standing somewhere truly special. The site is beautifully maintained, and every corner has something impressive to see. If you’re in Ireland, this is a must-see. Highly recommended!

An absolute gem!!! No wait for early morning entry. Recommend the tour for more in depth history. Allow about 2 hours overall. Well maintained ruins and graveyard. A must see when in southern Ireland.

Amazing ruins with breathtaking views. We arrived very early as it was our 2nd stop on our tour. Our small tour group were the only ones there at 8am, but others were arriving as we were ending our tour. There is a lot of walking so bring comfortable shoes.

The Rock of Cashel, rises dramatically above the Tipperary landscape and is one of Ireland’s most iconic historic sites. Once the seat of the kings of Munster, it later became a powerful ecclesiastical center, reflecting a long intertwining of political and religious authority. The complex includes impressive medieval structures such as the 12th-century round tower, Cormac’s Chapel with its rare Romanesque frescoes, and the imposing Gothic cathedral. Surrounded by sweeping views of the Golden Vale, the Rock of Cashel embodies centuries of Irish heritage, making it both a symbol of regional power in early medieval Ireland and a masterpiece of sacred architecture. Excellent tour guides. A must see when in Ireland.

Historic landmark. The juice is worth the squeeze. We didn’t do the full tour inside the chapel, but the general admission gets you enough of the tour that you’ll be pleased. Also I think the tour was an hour-which seems like a bit much for a property of this size. Overall, the grounds were easy enough to tour and learn about , provided the QR code.

The historic buildings and ruins are impressive, and the views from the top are breathtaking. Walking around the site really gives you a sense of Ireland’s rich history—it’s a must-visit.

This experience is well worth the stop if you are in Kilkenny. Our tour guide was fantastic (i feel terrible i have forgotten her name) and did an amazing job leading us through the history and science that is Smithwick's. The tour is very interactive and has a great production value. It is super engaging and interacting which was great as it was our 3rd brewery tour on our vacation. I highly recommend checking out the cream ale at the end of your tour. Absolutely delicious!!!

You must do this. We walked in and got a spot on a tour at noon. We brought our 5year old with us (kids <6 are free) and even he enjoyed most parts of it. Our tour guide, Simon, was absolutely excellent - full of knowledge and very well spoken on the history and story of Smithwick's. He made the experience really phenomenal. At the end, the barrel room for tasting was really great - comfortable and great service. I HIGHLY recommend this experience - and keep an eye out for the pamphlets with the 10% off QR code! They're all over Kilkenny (and ireland in general).

A solid tour of Smithwick's in Kilkenny - given by Daragh. He was both entertaining and informative! The history was very interesting, and the "picture room" was very cool. Literally moving pictures - and quite well done. The tasting experience, of the ingredients used in making beer, was a nice touch. And the beers afterwards, in the taproom, were well received and poured. Worth the visit, indeed!

We easily booked online. The guide did a good job in presenting the history of the city, brewing and business. The conclusion of the story can be unexpected, if you did not document upfront. Just a museum, not a live brewery anymore. Nice videos and interactions during the tour , it is touchy feely smelly. The price was a bit high in the end for 40 minutes of tour and one beer. The Kilkenny beer might have been the first served on that day, it was mostly foam and quite flat. Also, too cold in the tasting room and with very cold beer , hard to drink.

It’s smaller than it’s bigger brother Guinness and very likeable. Interesting setup and a must if you like beer. Ending the tour with a tasting. Can’t miss

A pleasantly surprising, educational and interactive, entertaining experience. Our young guide was funny and knowledgeable, and the modern sensory elements were delightful. The best part was smelling all the components and then getting to taste the flight of all of Smithwicks' best beers at the end!

We went on a tour with Maggie as our guide, and found her extremely warm and witty. She took time to answer questions and share a lot of information in a way that was fun and inviting. The physical tour was also well designed and we enjoyed the paddle of tasters we had at the end.

Impressive Castle, Just Be Prepared for the Crowds! A fantastic visit to the magnificent Kilkenny Castle. The building itself is beautifully restored, and the self-guided tour through the various rooms, especially the Long Gallery, is fascinating and well worth the price of admission. The sprawling parklands surrounding the castle are an absolute highlight – perfect for a walk, a picnic, or just letting the kids run around. It's a true gem in the heart of the city. The reason for docking one star comes down to logistics. We went on a weekend, and it was incredibly crowded, and we had to wait in a queue for a while to get in. Be prepared for that if you're not visiting on a weekday. The biggest challenge, however, is parking. Most of the on-street parking nearby is limited to a maximum of 1 hour, which is simply not enough time to explore the castle and grounds without constantly clock-watching. You're better off finding a car park a bit further away and walking. Overall, it is a must-see piece of Irish history. Just plan ahead for the potential crowds and parking situation to make your visit stress-free!

Beautiful, well maintained castle with lovely grounds. It was a great way to spend a couple rainy hours. There's a QR coffee at reach room so you can very more information on your phone. There's washrooms and a cafe at the castle as well. Our was about €11 to get in.

Beautiful 13th century castle with a fully restored interior. It's only 8€ to enter and we'll worth it. There are also original artworks and tapestries as well as am especially BEAUTIFUL room called the long gallery which boasts an ornate wooden ceiling and vibrant red walls ordained with artworks.

A Regal Experience - Kilkenny Castle Kilkenny Castle is a stunner! I visited and was blown away by the rich history, stunning architecture, and beautiful grounds. This 13th-century castle is a must-visit in Ireland. Highlights: - Impressive Architecture:Majestic castle, great hall, and towers - Beautiful Grounds: Scenic gardens, river views, and walking trails - History and Culture: Learn about the castle's fascinating past Tips: - Wear comfy shoes for exploring the castle and grounds - Check opening hours and plan your visit accordingly - Don't miss the evening tours or seasonal events Kilkenny Castle is a highlight of Ireland! You'll feel like royalty exploring this stunning castle.

Nice castle, there are a lot of original furnitures and paintings, many languages printed guides. Enteance fee is 8 euro. You are to use one of the town parkings in vicinity. Enjoy!

Ireland is overflowing with castles but this one is in much better shape than most and the staff is very accommodating. We thought a quick hour would do the trick... You'll need at least two hours to get through most of the highlights. Walking the pleasant grounds will require another 30 minutes and a good pair of shoes. The town of Kilkenny also offers a nice place to walk, dine and mingle with the very friendly locals. You can easily spend half a day here; plan accordingly.

I really enjoyed my visit to Kilkenny Castle. The rooms are beautifully restored and give you a real sense of the history. The exhibitions are well explained and easy to follow. The gardens and park are peaceful and perfect for a walk, with lovely views of the River Nore. Everything was well organized, and the staff were very friendly. Overall, a real highlight of my stay in Kilkenny and highly recommended.

We were not sure whether to pay to go in, but we are glad we did, and found that children under about 12 are free. A really helpful and welcoming member of staff when we entered, then after climbing all the way to the top watched a really informative video about the history of the tower and Viking Triangle and Waterford. Plus good views of the waterfront through the small windows! Lots of information boards on the remaining 2 floors - plus I enjoyed the Lego models on the ground floor! There's also a canon ball from 1650 lodged in the outside of the wall. So lots of see - our kids enjoyed it. I guess we had about 30-45 mins there.

Been visiting and then living here in Waterford for years but never visited this tower. This particular day had free admission so we popped in. I would gladly pay the small admission fee though, it was so interesting. It is the root to Waterford's history and how the city began. Highly recommend joining the guided tour (approx 50mins) rather then self guided, you can ask questions and gain many more interesting fact. Unfortunately I've forgotten the young ladies name who guided us but she worked at the Book of Kells last year (I learnt more interesting facts about this too), she was charming, friendly and passionate, thank you. Any tourist coming to Waterford, do not miss this.

Small but interesting tower with exhibits and a video showing the initial history and settlement of Waterford, as well as the building of the tower. £5 each which was reasonable. Just take care on the step & mind your head!

This is a simple but excellent attraction- affordable, interesting, and great place to start in Waterford! It gives a breakdown of the history, local landmarks, and an overview of the whole city. The spiral stairs in particular is excellent!

Very small but cool museum. It explains the history of the Vikings, Normans, and the English as they founded Waterford and fight over it through the ages.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Incredible place where history feels alive 🏰✨ Reginald’s Tower was one of the highlights of my time in Waterford. Knowing this was the exact spot where the Vikings founded Ireland’s first city made it feel so special. The name Waterford comes from the old Norse word Veðrafjǫrðr(meaning something like windy fjord) 🌊⚔️.Standing there, I truly felt like I was in the middle of that history. The tower is small but powerful. It’s the oldest civic building in Ireland 🇮🇪 and has been everything from a Viking stronghold to a Norman fort, a mint, a prison, and more. You can still see the original stonework, and touching those ancient walls gave me a strange but amazing feeling — like I was connected to the people who stood there centuries ago 🪨🕰️. Deffo, I will go back to take more pictures 😆 My phone died.

Really interesting piece of history. If you are the city, it’s worth a look

Would recommend anyone to visit. The Dunbrody ship is an exact replica of the actual famine ship. Our tour guide Orla was very knowledgeable and friendly. You have as much free time as you like to explore the museum once your tour is done. It was also my birthday and the staff kindly sang me happy birthday.

A fantastic guided tour by Ann-Marie, I believe which is run hourly, and also the actresses who played two different characters with real names from the Dunbrody. One character from the upper first class deck and another from steerage of the ship. Both had very interesting monologues and stories! The video and exhibition space they had was also very good. O relax, I’d definitely recommend a visit.

This is a must. The story told about this ship and the people that were on it was captivating. The staff did an amazing job showing and explaining what happened and why. It's about the famine and immigration of the Irish people to America. Well worth a visit.

If you are near New Ross, this is worth stopping by. The tour happens every hour and is worth going on. The staff are very knowledgeable and it's amazing to see what a famine ship looked like.

Energetic and interactive tour, with some actors. Appeared to give a really good insight into the ship, its role of it and similar others at its time at a key point in history. Enjoyable and glad we made the detour for it. Nice cafe upstairs does breakfast and cakes etc really friendly and couldnt fault either. Small generic gift shop at the end nothing special but it doesnt need to be as its not like you want to buy a rat or able to buy a piece of the real boat 😆.

Very interesting and interactive museum ship. The guide Tim was knowledgeable and took time to answer our questions. Great way to explore the history of our Irish ancestors. Dogs are welcome too!

This was a great tour. Kelly our tour guide was so friendly and helpful and very informative my kids 6 and 9 found the tour very interesting and being able to walk around the ship really brought everything to life.

Absolutely brilliant! Our tour guide (whose name sadly escapes me) was an incredible fountain of knowledge, sharing fascinating facts with enthusiasm. Cheerful, engaging, and very skilled in his role, he made the entire experience enjoyable from start to finish. The visit was both entertaining and informative—definitely worth it and highly recommended.

A beautiful location! I loved the tour — the guide was a great storyteller, sharing lots of interesting information with a good sense of humor. The Fresnel lens is absolutely magical. It’s very relaxing to enjoy a coffee while taking in the stunning view of the cliffs. I also bought a lovely painting, made on slate, from a local artist who offers workshops — a wonderful souvenir from the visit.

One of the most beautiful lighthouse in Ireland.... man at the shop who's a tour guide as well very knowledgeable kind and passionate about his job if I could suggest something would be a access to the field from restaurant or lighthouse surroundings couse from the car park is very difficult and slippery especially for the elderly or dogs anyway is well worth a visit again and again ... definitely we will be back again

Excellent tour, steeped in history. John (the guide) is a character and clearly passionate about his work. Small cafeteria with good food options. Gift shop. Good parking.

Always like this spot. Great carparking and facilities. Lovely little gift shop. Cafe is great, selection, flavours, prices, staff all great. The chowder is fab.

A wonderful place to visit. Steeped is history and the tour was amazing. There's a gift shop, cafe and toilets. Car parking is available and there is a area outside to keep the little ones amused.

Awesome experience. Amazing views and an amazing history lesson from our tour guide. John was fantastic and you can only hope he leads your group. The drive in is very beautiful as well. Highly recommended if you’re visiting Ireland.

It was a very informative visit. Amazing park with plenty to see from viking weapons to houses ancestors used to build. Loads of toilets in the park along the path, which is easy to walk through, even for the little ones. There are few interactive things for kids to try. Little pond with ducks and dragonflies in the middle. Falconry was included in the main entry, which was a bonus.

A top class experience for locals and tourists, and adults as well as kids. The site is beautifully put together, informative, and very walkable with lots of places to pause en route and enjoy the views. Meeting with white-faced owl, Oscar, and his wonderful handler, Jim, was a highlight for us. Not one to miss.

Amazing grounds and very informative, much more to take in and see that originally thought which was a great surprise. The axe throwing, archery and spear throwing was an amazing addition to the day out. The views from the walk to the circular tower were spectacular, definitely worth a visit.

I could not praise this place enough, from the minute we arrived this place had the wow factor. The staff were so welcoming and friendly. They were knowledgeable and courteous, Susan, one of the guides was a lady, so positively interactive with the children engaging them with fun facts and delivering information that intrigued us adults too. She and her counterpart whose name I did not catch are both mines of information. Both deliver the history and information in a way that fills one with wonder, amazement and wanting more. The fact they were dressed in clothing that was in keeping with the history and buildings was an added bonus. The attractions themselves are amazing, it's like taking a trip back in a time machine. Some were like movie sets, capturing in reality what we've seen on TV and learned in school. The grounds are spotless and well kept. The view onto the river, the facilities, the playground,the restaurant, bathrooms nothing could be faulted, unless it was mentioned maybe to add some more pieces in the fairy garden. Activities such as panning for gold and meeting the birds at the Bird Sanctuary were great fun for us all. We had a busy day and my 7yr old travelling companions named here as their favourite place all day. I and the boys would definitely recommend a visit. Allow plenty of time to take in the tours, experience the magic of the place and the time travelling experience.

There are disability scooters available on site to rent. The staff are always so friendly and helpful. The animals are taken care of. Archery is available at selected times for €12 for 45mins and card is taken for this. The birds are well taken care of.

I have fantastic childhood memories of this place and I was so excited to bring my own kids here. We really enjoyed the viking experience and the tours although I think they could do more with the tours. I found them very interesting but quite fact heavy. With the infrastructure I think for kids there could be tours with people dressed up explaining how they lived and what they ate etc. back then.

Irish heritage kept in pristine condition. Dog friendly, one of a very few around Ireland. Fantastic history and recreation of Irish human development. Clean bathrooms, lovely gift shop and cafe.

Spent a couple of days staying at Wells House in Dec for their Santa experience. Have to say I was very impressed with the house, gardens, farm and Santa experience! The staff were welcoming upon arrival. Despite it being really busy, the lady drove with us to our cottage to show us around and explain everything. We stayed in an old cottage connected to a disused walled garden near the farm. The cottage is fine for a short stay, beds were comfortable. The cottage is across the road from the cowshed, so u might hear the occasional moo. The house & gardens were tastefully decorated. The experience itself was great, kids got to make baubles and get their reindeer food ready. The big man was holed up in the main house which is in need of restoration in places but really looked the part. There is a restaurant onsite where we had coffee and snacks, it was decent. I will return in the summer for a proper kick around the gardens.

It's fabulous. Well worth a visit. Stunning Estate House, beautiful gardens. We went for the antique and vintage car show which was fantastic. We will go back to do the House Tour. 9 euros to see the grounds, gardens and cottages, another 8 euros if you would like a tour of the house. I highly recommend this beautiful place.

We stayed 2 nights in the gardeners cottage and had a fantastic time. The cottage has access to the main grounds after the house closes to the public in an evening. The cottage was clean and well appointed.

Fantastic grounds, kept immaculate. Amazing yearly car show huge range of vehicles very relaxed and family friendly. A must for any car enthusiast.

Spent a few hours here with our grandchildren. They have a small playground suitable for young children. If you like walking, they have a few walking trails, and one is a fairy walk for children. They do have a cafe that was open with limited service. You can pay to have a tour of the house which we didn't do.

What I can say just amazing for woodland walk with many wooden sculptures, animal farm nice play ground also for kids , recommended to go for long walk in the forestry . Magical place Be prepared for entry fee Big car park and nice café to eat inside

When we’re there it’s was just our groups not too much people it good for family trip as well so many things for kids even though it’s no event

The Avoca weaving tour was absolutely wonderful !! A perfect blend of history, craftsmanship, and Irish charm. The 40-minute experience was engaging from start to finish, offering an inside look at one of the oldest weaving and industrial sites in all of Ireland. It’s impressive how well they’ve preserved both the artistry and the storytelling behind their work. The tour is fully handicap accessible, and the guides make sure everyone can see and experience the process up close. Avoca truly spares no expense in creating a hands-on, interactive experience that brings the craft to life. What makes it even more special is the story of the three sisters who started it all; their vision and dedication are genuinely inspiring. You leave with a deep appreciation for Irish heritage, family entrepreneurship, and the timeless beauty of handmade textiles. A must-visit for anyone traveling through the area!

Just had a wonderful guided tour with Alan. An insiders view of the oldest mill in Ireland. See first how master artisans craft handmade and high quality fabric and continue the mills 300 year tradition. The whole family enjoyed the tour and then lunch at the cafe.

A piece of living Irish heritage! Avoca Handweavers is such a fascinating place to visit — not just a shop, but a story woven through generations. You can really feel the history in the fabrics, colors, and textures, each carrying the spirit of Ireland’s craftsmanship. The atmosphere is warm and authentic, and it’s easy to get lost among the beautiful weaves, natural products, and local flavors. A visit here is more than shopping — it’s stepping into Ireland’s cultural soul.

Went on a Monday thinking we’d have lunch and tour the center. Very disappointed that the weaving shed was closed, the store was open but we bought a few things to take home and then had lunch. The vibe in the restaurant wasn’t good and the food was terrible 😞 which had the potential to be so much better. Also has the worlds closest urinals!

Beautiful shop and café with a charming mix of traditional Irish craftsmanship and modern style. The handwoven textiles are gorgeous—perfect for gifts or souvenirs—and there’s a lovely selection of food, home goods, and clothing. The café serves delicious meals and baked goods in a cozy setting. A bit on the pricey side, but the quality is worth it.

Very interesting tour. You truly understand the higher price range after seeing exactly what goes into making each garment.

Alan took us on a brilliant tour where we got to learn the history, ups n downs and current status of this still-working weavers. Yay to the Wynne sisters! We got to meet some of the contemporary master weavers who work there now, and watch them at work both on traditional and modern looms. Whether you're a textile geek or a total novice you'll find this interesting. Great team in the shop too! Thankyou for all your help ladies.

Wow wow wow! This place is just stunning. Beautiful sand, peaceful surroundings. The beach has no toilets so will need to use toilets at the cafe before you arrive. My children loved it and couldn't believe this beach can be found in the UK! The carpark and cafe are a 15 minute walk up steps but the view at the top of the cliffs is outstanding! Definitely a must visit for beach lovers!

Very beautiful area, the beach is part of the coastal walk (ca. 10km). Amazing views. Pay and display car park with plenty of spots. 3,5 pounds for 3 hours and 7 pounds for the whole day, both cash and card payments are accepted.

Ample parking, not overly expensive, and near to toilets and food place. The signposted walk is about 20 mins across the top of the cliff so it is exposed if windy, and while the walk and beach are off lead dog friendly, you may want them on lead for this part as it’s a big drop off the side. There are plenty of steps down to the beach so it is a bit of a workout - the beach is enclosed, not huge, but there’s still plenty of space and the fog absolutely loved digging and running in the sand. A very good find, well worth a visit. You can walk on from here to Stackpole etc. as per the route map added here.

Often lands up in lists of best beaches in the UK and it’s well-deserved on a beautiful autumn day with few people there and the azure sea lapping on the perfect sand. The car park is a bit of a walk, there are steep steps down and there are no facilities at all which is good or bad depending on your viewpoint.

A very nice hidden beach. The parking lot is small and can fill up quickly so plan to get there early. Its about a 20 minute walk to get to the beach. Toilets are near the car park. Parking charges are £4 for 3 hours or £7 for the day.

Last visited in Jan 2024, a beautiful beach and gorgeous views over the bay along your walk to the bay. Very steep in places so be mindful! Dog friendly, I came on a weekday and I had it to myself.

Personally, my favourite beach in the UK. Absolutely love visiting Barafundle. It’s a little bit of a walk from the nearest car park but it’s always worth it. On a sunny summer day there’s no beach I’d rather visit. Calm and clear water perfect for swimming, soft sand and lined with trees and Greenery. (Even on a cloudy day it’s a beautiful beach).

Beautiful views. Beach canget very busy though. We avoided this and did the little hike to the top of the mound instead. Bring binoculars to see dolphins and porpoises. Car park is more than sufficient. If you're lucky the machine won't be working so parking is free. There's a little kiosk down the road to get refreshments and for toilet breaks. It's so peaceful doing the walking routes along the coast.

Small and secluded little sandy beach with some high cliffs to walk along. Little coffee shop is very good and a couple of benches to sit and enjoy the views.

This place is great a must if you're nearby. You can spend all day there. Sun and sea galore. Toilets shop attended parking what more could you ask for. Thanks National Trust. My £4 parking fee was money well spent.

Fabulous, sheltered beach near Cardigan. Plenty of parking (£5 charge), popular café. Toilets. Quite a lot of steps down to the beach so could be a bit challenging. Sandy beach. Allegedly good for dolphin spotting. The drive from Cardigan involves some very narrow roads with limited passing places so I deliberately avoided visiting at the weekend.

A gorgeous beach surrounded by hills. Since it was the weekend, it was a bit crowded, but we enjoyed it a lot. There is a big and spacious car park.

Just visit, don't hesitate. The best beach I've visited in Britain, simply stunning! Me and my young family has an excellent afternoon here and we'd certainly visit again in the future. Parking, toilets, food and drinks are available. The beach is accessed down 100+ steps so please bare this in mind.

A must to visit. Car parking available but you need wifi to pay so the cafe on the beach it the place to go to.Free wifi available..Great for kids and family

My absolute favourite place. Summer or winter it never fails due the beautiful views. Loved seeing the sunflowers but I wouldn't pay especially if you have a large family.

I just love this heavenly place, winter or summer who says you need season's to come and enjoy the beautiful view or a great walk. For parking their is plenty of space and you pay by coins , I paid £4 for 4hours which was worth it. Was lucky this time round saw the beautiful wild ponies,an eye-catcher.june will be the sunflower season don't be missing that.A must go place.plenty to eat and drink at the local pub kids adults all will enjoy.

The prettiest walk down from the national trust car park, some areas are steep, but the steps help. The beach itself is very clean, beautiful, and dog friendly. You can see works head from the beach. The walk back up will get you panting but so worth it.

Beautiful beach, tons of shells washed up on the shore, just beautiful. Nice long stretch of beach you can walk along. It is very flat but the walk down to the beach is a steep incline. There is a bench half way to rest on half way. You can see worms head from the beach which you can access from the top of the bay and walk over the top of the cliff. There is a car park at the top which you can park in with decent prices, £3 I believe but national trust members have it free. Great day out!

Absolutely stunning beach! It's a bit of a steep walk down to the beach and back up but definitely worth it if you can. Gorgeous views from the coastal path at the top too. The beach is so big it didn't seem busy. Plenty of parking when we went too in the National Trust car park. Drive to it was a lot of single track roads, not fun but again worth it!

Absolutely stunning place - one of my favourite spots in Wales. Beautiful, massive beach, clean sea, lots of parking spaces (£6 per day). The only downside is to get there as the roads are extremely narrow at time and 2 cars won't be able to fit in next to one another, other than that it's just perfect for a sunny day out 😊 Also I would mention if you visit this place with someone who struggles with walking uphill/downhill I wouldn't recommend to go down the beach as you have to walk up/down a steep hill to get there.

Great for walks, picnics, horse riding, body boarding, fishing, running, paragliding , hanggliding, a large clean beach when the tides out with some nice hills. Good selection of cafes.

The Gower is beautiful at any time, but in the spring sunshine, it's perfect. So many little bays and beaches, charming little villages with a wealth of fantastic eateries with something to suit all tastes and budgets. If you haven't visited yet, add it to your bucket list. If you have been, you'll be back

Lovely area to visit,too much to seeing one day, really enjoyed my visit, beaches are stunning,lots of history in area

A genuine place of natural beauty, it's difficult to believe that Swansea is so close by once you head into the area. Multiple stunning beaches and views, even the villages seem to have been built with the scenery in mind. We will be back again soon

Oh my goodness the gower was incredible! We've just got back from a holiday and it was fantastic, From all the coastal paths to the incredible bays, Feels like a proper escape visiting the Gower

Absolutely stunning coastline in South Wales. Beautiful beaches, with plenty of hidden gems along the way, whether it's waterfalls, an old fortress or magical forests.

A beautiful place.. must visit with kids. Go to three cliffs bay and Rochilles bay for sure. These are a little bit of a walk to get to. Something to keep in mind for older people and people with younger kids . There are a lot of other beaches too which you can drive down to . Do try out Joe's ice cream and Papi's pizza.

I'm 86 used to visit the Gower and Rhossili beach as a child. One of the top beaches in the world. Still enjoy visiting. Worms head means Sea Serpent's head.

What a fantastic beach we have visited a few times now and it’s become a family favorite!!! Me and my son visited for a couple of days of bodyboarding some beautiful waves we parked in the national trust car park which is free if you’re a member or £10 if not still a bargain for all day … Definitely worth a visit I can highly recommend

My favourite beach in England. Super clean, always lots of spots available away from other beach users. Perfect for surfers, families and dog walkers.

Long stretch of sandy beach. It was incredibly busy entering near Sandy Bar car park but a lot quieter if you venture a few minutes away. The sea was fairly rough when we went. There is a lifeguard on duty here. There are a good selection of rock pools here too, especially towards the Barricane beach end (though difficult to know where each beach starts and ends).

Such a beautiful and well maintained beach. Plenty of parking options if you aren’t staying locally, National Trust members can even park for free now on Marine Drive! Board and wetsuit hire available on the slipway and there are plenty of food and drinks options available there too, as well as on the beach itself. Beautiful walks along the dunes to Putsborough or in the opposite direction along the coast path to a whole range of smaller beaches.

Brilliant beach, great lifeguards. Huge beach which is well serviced with bins and ice cream vendors. Lovely sandy beach with areas for dogs off lead, on lead, and a no dog area.

Lovely dog friendly beach. Just went for the 2 mile walk each way and a well deserved ice lolly at the end. Beautiful sand dunes with little lizards. Clean and child friendly. Plenty of body boarders out too.

A beautiful, long stretch of sandy beach that's perfect for a coastal walk or relaxing day out. It was busy around the Sandy Bar car park, but if you're willing to walk just a few minutes further along the beach, it becomes much quieter and more peaceful. The sea was fairly rough during the late evening when we visited, so probably better for experienced swimmers or surfers at that time. Overall, a lovely spot with plenty of space once you move away from the main access points. Highlights: long beach, Golden sand, enough car parking (paid), some beach shops near by to rent/buy equipments.

We visited for a wedding here in September 2025 and it was amazing! It was a rainy day but the rained stopped for the ceremony. There are lots of stairs and there are not many seats at the downstairs bar but where the food is eaten, there are plenty of tables and chairs. The staff were friendly and helpful. The tunnels were very interesting and the venue itself has amazing potential. Everything seems to be within walking distance from the Wetherspoons, which was a very popular and excellent meeting place before and after.

Recently got married here. It is so obvious that it is the most beautiful wedding location. But I would also like to praise how amazing the staff were to our every need, ensuring that the wedding ran smoothly. The owner is also wonderful and responded to every question I had over 2 years of communicating via email. The food was amazing and all of my guests complimented it. Couldn't have wished for a better day. The accomdation is also perfect, we had 3 properties for our guests and we were all very sad to leave.

We recently got married here and had a small elopement plus package. It was absolutely outstanding. The views were amazing as you can see. The house is so beautifully designed and the perfect standard to have a wedding party stay in. We stayed in Runnymeade house and I honestly cannot wait to get the family together again for another occasion and stay in one of these properties. The wedding was perfect Jacs And the rest of the team was so great on the day really helpful and kind. The booking was easy smooth Jamie was so accommodating and we are so happy we chose to have our wedding here. I would definitely recommend and happy recommending to everyone.

The Tunnels. Wow. What a venue! I can’t say that we have been to any other wedding venue with your own private beach! The location alone is enough to make you interested in The Tunnels but when you get to look around the venue it’s all beautiful. The ceremony space outdoors is great, amazing views to the side and backed with cliffs made it a great space for photography. We love the multiple levels at this venue. It really allows you to enjoy the views. The reception room for meals and the evening entertainment has huge panoramic windows which, when you have a location like this, is exactly what you want. The sunset on the evening we were there was gorgeous. Being able to watch it from such a great view while chatting around a fire pit has to be one of the top ways to end your wedding day right?! We are both huge fans of Devon and love being by the coast. If this sounds like you then you should definitely look at The Tunnels for your venue. The location, venue and staff are all amazing. You won’t be disappointed.

Second time visiting here. Came here in early July. There's a small entrance fee of £3.75 but it's pretty quiet when we went and it's quite unusual with the tidal pool so we didn't mind paying the fee. Luckily the ladies beach was open (normally weddings are there) and it looked beautiful with the plants and aqua blue waters. The tidal pool is fun to walk around if you have good balance. The water was cold but a few people tried to swim in it. Relaxing cove with interesting aspects about it. Cafe, toilets, deck chair hire and museum included which makes the visit more comfortable. Highly recommended

Amazing place, great facilities, toilets and a small coffee shop, wedding venue so part of the beach might be closed to public, but it doesn't affect anyone. Reasonable entry fee, shops nearby if you need supplies. We parked in the national park free parking, approx 10 min away, but there's lots on street free parking available.

Great bit of history in beautiful surroundings. Very well kept, tidy. Toilets and changing facilities near the ladies beach. No showers.Gentleman's beach is not always open due to weddings. There is a cafe with some hot and cold food and bits and bobs. Clean beach and water with nice tidal pools.

Im not a NT member and I found the tours good value for money. It is a small location, not an extensive set of tunnels to explore but the tours are well led, informative and fun. Its a super location with other walks also available from the same area. Essential to book a tour rather than just turn up, but I'd recommend it to visitors or locals looking for a good half day activity.

An excellent experience of a rare Welsh gold mine. The are 3 different tours based on your mobility, and interest in Victorian or Roman history. The tour guide Nevil is exceptional and really engages people of all ages. The wider mining buildings on display show a remarkable age of engineering. A one of a kind experience! It's highly recommended.

Myself and my youngest son went for a short trip through Wales and made a pitstop here! We are National Trust members so we got in for free! There was free parking and it was amazing!!! Honestly the tour was incredible 👌👍🙏 we had a fabulous time! We went on the Victorian tour and it was really good 👍 there was another dude on our tour that did both tours that day, we couldn't because it was fully booked but he said he preferred the Victorian one so that was a win! Sure they are both fab though! 👍💯 Lastly BOOK IN ADVANCE!!!! We did but some other people didn't and got turned away! Definitely book it! Very busy!

Fascinating visit, make sure you book one of the guided tours on the NT website. We went on a guided tour of the Roman gold mines with Nivil, who gave an excellent, informative tour. We then had a lovely walk around the estate on a well signed path. Hopefully we will be back soon to do the Victorian gold mine tour, and to do one of the longer walks.

Fantastic day spent at Dolaucothi. I came here 30yrs ago when I was a kid and enjoyed it so much I wanted to bring my family back to experience it again with me. We did both guided tours of the Victorian and Roman mines with Neville and Eddie, they were both fantastic tour guides.

Was recommended to visit hear by the ladies in the visitor centre at Llandovery, excellent recommendation!!! Had a great day, looking round the yard and visiting the gold mine and exited up the old Roman steps, our guide Clive was great very entertaining, would highly recommend!!

Missed the tours but a qr scan trail was brilliant. 2 to 3 min clips whilst you're stood in an area. Historically important site, pre roman, roman and victorian. Would like to go on a tour another day. £6 to get in, with out person tour. Toilets and hot drinks

•Soft play: great soft play! Our 1.5 year old loves it. I just really wish the staff would enforce the under 3 area being for under 3’s only. Older kids muck around in there, particularly in the ball pit, making it unsafe for our 1.5 year old to use. This has been the case on a couple of visits. A real shame. •Toddler pool: a really great pool and area. The toys provided are so great, thank you. It’s just way too cold. We dress our toddler in her wetsuit but she still shivers. Please consider increasing the temperature. Thank you!

Overall the place it’s nice. We came for a sport event with a lot of people. Over 10 different countries. and the bathroom were generally clean but there were a LOT of people. The gym caterers to young the generation; however, they have pool 🏊 strength and mobility type classes for older generations as well. The staff is very nice too. My daughter had a great experience and made some new friends from UK 🇬🇧

Superb! We are here on a lil break away and my 15 year old son still loves to swim. The wave pool was brilliant, as was the lazy river. We didn’t go on the slides but these looked ace! The lifeguards were absolutely brilliant, so professional and really responsive to everything going on around them. Felt really safe and if I had a small child or group of children with me I’d have been so reassured by them. Great team of young people. Food and drink in the cafe was good and reasonably priced. We’ll definitely be coming back! Thank you ☺️

Good facilities but the water is too cold. My 4 year old would not go in the larger pool due to the temperature so it was a bit of a waste of money for us. Fine for adults but a bit cold for younger kids lots of others were saying the same. Unfortunately we will travel to Cardiff international pool next time as this is the second time it’s happened at LC2. Very helpful staff at the soft play and cafe.

Spend £27 to take my 5 year old swimming in a freezing cold pool. Her lips were blue and her poor jaw was chattering. The jacuzzi (that was barely warm) was filled with people trying to keep warm. The changing room temp was also freezing. Awful experience. Staff was lovely and give us entry to the play area, but it’s such a shame.

We tend to use this as an afternoon activity on our way home from Pembrokeshire. The waterpark is a great place to spend a couple of hours swimming, bobbing around and sliding. The master blaster always has the longest queue but we've never waited more than about 15 minutes in line. We love the waves and the lazy river too. It's a firm family favourite for us.

We had a great time here. The wave machine is as good as ever and the slides excellent. Had a hard time getting our 6yr old grandson to leave. He'd have stayed in all day!

Loved the ride up and views beautiful. But it was very diffwalking back down. Its SO steep and no hand rails or such to support the very steep decline. Next time would take the ride back down. The shops are so quaint and it's very beautiful place to visit. We enjoyed it.The bay where the boats sit and the harbour are all lovely.Delicous ice cream parlours and plenty of Cafes or Pubs.

Lynton & Lynmouth a hidden gem on the North Devon coast that completely exceeded my expectations. Perched above the picturesque village of Lynmouth & Lynton offers stunning views, old-world charm, and a peaceful atmosphere that’s perfect for a relaxing getaway. The towns are full of character — from its historic buildings and quaint tea rooms to local art galleries and independent shops. It feels like stepping back in time, but with all the modern comforts you need. The streets are quiet, clean, and welcoming, and the locals are incredibly friendly and helpful. One of the highlights of my visit was the famous Lynton and Lynmouth Cliff Railway – a unique water-powered funicular that connects the two villages. The ride offers beautiful views over the cliffs and sea and is a fun experience for all ages. Another must-visit spot is Valley of Rocks, just a short walk from Lynton. The scenery there is absolutely breathtaking. There are plenty of walking trails, coastal paths, and cosy cafes to enjoy. Whether you’re into hiking, photography, or just want to unwind, Lynton & Lynmouth is an ideal destination. I left feeling refreshed, inspired, and already planning my next visit. Highly recommended for nature lovers and anyone wanting a peaceful escape by the sea.

Always love a visit here. The conductor on the railway was super kind with my 3 dogs (one of whom is blind). We had a lovely day and fab pasties (ofc). Sad I didn't get to try the vegan lobster tho, maybe next year.

This is a treasure! There's a lovely cafe at the top that serves huge scones with jam and cream, then you board the little train to descend from Lynton down to Lynmouth. The staff are friendly and the whole experience is charming. Definitely worth a visit for all the family including doggos 😊

Nice quick and easy way to go from one to the other. Views are amazing. Staff are friendly. Little souvenir in the box where you get tickets. Card payment only.

The Lynton and Lynmouth Cliff Railway is a true gem — charming, nostalgic, and surprisingly peaceful. The ride itself is short but absolutely delightful, offering breathtaking views over the coastline as you glide up and down between the two villages. It’s a lovely mix of old-world charm and clever engineering — powered entirely by water, which makes the experience feel even more magical. Both Lynton and Lynmouth have their own unique feel, and the railway is the perfect connection between them. Whether you’re into history, views, or just a wholesome experience, this little journey is a must. I could honestly ride it again and again . It’s one of those rare places that just makes you smile Tickets under £4

Second time here in 10 years. Great experience for the kids to ride such an old and iconic railway. Views at the top are amazing and the town is lovely too.

This was a truly wonderful experience for both adults and children. A beautiful setting with flowers and gardens and fascinating talks and interactive sessions. Our daughter loves bees and got to find out more about them, taste honey and get involved with candle rolling and planting seeds. The staff were wonderful from the moment we walked in. From the greeting through to the lovely ladies going through the talks. They went out of their way to make sure we had a great experience. We spent an afternoon on our way back from holiday but could have easily spent a day. We have factored this in for another visit next year.

This is a wonderful place. Got a full ticket and really enjoyed the interactive talks and things to do around the place. The shop is well priced and the staff all seem really friendly. The food is also good - I didn't check the play area, but it seemed popular.

We had a fantastic day at Quince Honey Farm…it offers something for all ages. The bee demo, candle making, talks and honey tasting (all included in the entrance fee) were highlights. The café deserves a special mention too; clean, very reasonably priced, speedy service and legendary cheese scones! It would have been lovely to see a queen bee during the demo (sadly they didn’t spot one that day) and perhaps a live hive link or glass observation hive would add even more to the experience. We also hoped to try the honeycomb, which wasn’t available. That said, there was still so much to enjoy. Both the indoor play area and the spacious outdoor areas gave the children plenty to do, while the talks and tasting kept the adults engaged. We visited with ages ranging from 7 to 83, and genuinely everyone found something to enjoy. A tip: plan for either the morning or afternoon session, as the talks run twice a day; check timings so you don’t miss the ones you want. Well worth a visit and one we’d happily recommend.

We spent a few hours here with two of our grandsons (aged 9 & 8). It's a delightful place to visit. The programme of sessions were highly interesting and we learned a lot about bees and honey. There is plenty to do for children and adults alike. I highly recommend Quince Honey Farm, it's a great place to visit

Fascinating afternoon at the honey farm. Georgia was a brilliant host who took us through seeds, beekeeping, curious creatures, honey tasting and candle making with good humour and a wealth of knowledge. Would have stayed for a bite to eat at the cafe but they were closing. Great place to visit rain or shine

Very good experience! Upon arrival we had access to a leaflet with the details of workshops, had an opportunity to taste different kinds of honey and learn al about bees. We made wax candles, and I held a stick insect! It was very cute and I’m pretty sure it was called Sticky. I love bugs so i was delighted to find this out. We had scones and cream tea- the scones were hot and fresh and possibly the most delicious scones I have EVER had. The only downside was that a bee flew in and got very excited over my honey that I had with my scones. I didn’t want to hurt it so I ate my scone pretty fast so it could fly away.

Overall this was a good day out, but I do think it is overpriced for what you get. There are talks throughout the day, but not much to do if you don't like attending talks. The soft play was good though and was suitable for older children. I would suggest you get there from opening to make the most of the talks, the first one was at 10.30am and continued every half an hour. The cafe was ok priced and not overly busy. The other slightly disappointing thing was the cost of the honey ranging from £7-£9 for 227g. I would have liked to buy a few, but only ended up buying the one due to the price!! We enjoyed the day, but I can't help but think it was very expensive! It wasn't very busy mid holiday season, so guessing the price puts others off going there too.

Lovely Beach, Fresh Donuts, Lots To Do!! Love A Day At The Seaside... Clean, Views, Bars, Coffee Shop, Nice Park, Surfers As Water Can Have Quite Big Waves .. Lovely Day Out Whatever Occasion & Lots Of Parking. Amazing Sunsets

Great amusement park and arcades. Special mention to the traditional Ghost Train 👻🚂 Such a shame this is the last season but so glad I got to visit.

Lovely stretch of beach. A good amount of food vendors and shops. Amusements looked busy. Free parking on the prom however get there early as it is very busy. A lovely day out

Wasn't the best, we especially went on holiday here especially for the rides for only 3 fast rides to be working. I know it's closing down we payed half price for the tickets so just £12 so £60 for the 5 of us to leave there an hour later after going on them 2 -3 times each. I think the council should put money into this and get it back to what it was before.

“Coney Beach was a great experience! Lovely atmosphere, fun rides, and a nice place to relax and enjoy with family and friends.”

Lovely experience. Perfect for young kids. Wrist bands are the best as can go on rides as many times as you would like for cheaper than paying for each ride !.caravan place nearby to rent too. Amazing for a little get away.

Great fair right on the beach front, no disabled or carer tickets available and the bad thing is if you have a child with special needs (age 6)who can only go on the junior rides they won't let you by a junior wrist band if there just over the height limit but they can go on them?realy unfair! you have to purchase a £20 wristband even though they won't go on any of the big rides bit unfair realy, but realy worthit if you plan to go on all rides. Good day out all round.

Booked a tour which lasted about an hour, Sarah was a super friendly guide and very informative we sampled a couple of different whiskeys at the end of the tour you could choose to try the gin or vodka instead.

Went as part of a Welsh speaking group, absolutely fantastic tour guide Sian who did the tour for thr first time in Cymraeg. Extremely clean place and the tasting st the end of the tour was lovely and although not a whisky drinker I could definitely enjoy the smooth taste of Penderyn over ice.

It was really neat to visit the very first distillery in Wales. My brother and Dad have loved Penderyn for years, so it was really nice to stop and check it out! We did the tour and learned so much! The lady who gave the tour was really kind and a great guide! We got to walk around the whole distillery as she explained the process. The tour came with 2 complementary tastings at the end and we ended up getting some gifts to take home.

Well worth a visit. We have done a tour with our guide Florence and learned a lot about how a whisky is made along with very interesting facts about the Penderyn distillery. Rounded up perfectly with a tasting at the end.

Great place to visit. Take a tour and learn a little about the way whiaky is made in Wales, plus get to enjoy the taste of this Welsh gold. Loads of variety available from the Gold range and the icons of Wales series. They also offer distillery bottles that are only available from the 3 shops and not in other outlets or online.

I had the pleasure of visiting Penderyn Distillery in the beautiful Brecon Beacons on October 10th, 2023. This independent distillery is a hidden gem for whiskey enthusiasts and anyone interested in Welsh history. The distillery tour provided a fascinating insight into the art of whiskey-making, starting with a warm welcome from our knowledgeable guide. We explored the entire process, from milling and mashing to distillation, even getting a close look at their unique Faraday stills. The educational component was well-structured, offering a glimpse into the history of whiskey-making in Wales and the broader Welsh heritage. Penderyn's dedication to quality is evident, as they produce small quantities of exceptional malted barley spirit that matures into some of the smoothest malt whiskies worldwide. Not only did we learn about their outstanding single malt whiskies, but also about their other products like Merlyn Cream Liqueur, Brecon Five Vodka, Brecon Gin, and Siddiqui Rums. The tour concluded with a delightful tasting session, allowing us to sample two of their products or take home a miniature bottle. The gift shop had a variety of offerings for souvenirs and gifts. One tip for future visitors: It's wise to pre-book your tour online to secure your spot. Also, remember that the production floor is not accessible to under 14s or wheelchair users due to safety reasons. Penderyn Distillery is a must-visit for whiskey lovers and anyone looking to appreciate the craftsmanship and heritage of Welsh whiskey-making.

Great little distillery with some excellent whiskeys and very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Loads of interesting history on the terrain and water source. They also do their own gin and other spirits. Highly recommend.

Dunster Castle is magical and so incredibly beautiful. We visited it on a beautiful summer day, the kids loved the outdoor games and the bat trail activity. The castle inside is very well cared for and the gardens are a dream to explore. Highly recommend. Tickets can only be bought on site :)

Fantastic building in an amazing location. Extremely rare leather and silver leaf paintings are breathtaking. Extensive gardens; steep in parts with a great kids play area. The mill was an added bonus. Well maintained, producing and selling their own flour with a super cafe nearby.

Historically amazing place, the castle was very interesting and well looked after. We enjoyed learning about it's history. The shops however were lacking gluten free options and we had to leave early to get food elsewhere.

The village surrounding the castle is beautiful, and lovely to walk through on the way to the castle including the secret garden ran by the castle gardener. Just be aware there are some rather steep slopes to walk up. There are a few cafes that do cream tea outside the castle and also museums and shops. Once actually in the castle grounds there are also lots of slopes to walk up and down to access different areas. There is lots of information about the castle and how it came to be what it is today and also some original features. The views from the castle are wonderful and can see for miles. There is parking for the castle and also other parking nearby if needed. There is a watermill that is still operating which they use to make flour, you can also buy this in the shop as well as other local produce.

What a great place. Very well kept. Fantastic gardens all around the castle and down to the Watermill. The gardens down to the mill are fantastic for children. If you are going to see Dunster properly, it will take a good 4 hours. Great Cafe at the Mill as well, which is all in working order.

A really beautiful castle with stunning views from the top of the hill. The water mill is a must visit too and it’s a lovely stroll through the village to get there!

Look out for the secret passage! We've visited many times,we go to buy the milled oats and flour ground at the mill once or twice a week. Dunster is a lovely little place.

Fantastic day at the Royal Mint Experience. We decided to do the tour with lunch and strike our own coin included. Our guide, Tommy was fantastic, spoke very well and could answer all questions. We were very lucky as we got to see some £1 coins being made. The lunch voucher was excellent. We had £25 total for two. We got a huge plate of food, drink and snack for journey home. We chose the vegan burger which was delicious. Striking our own coin was fun and gave us a great souvenir to take home with us. I expected to see more coins available for sale in the shop but it was mostly gift items related to the themes of their recent commemorative coins. Overall a great day.

What a fantastic experience, booked it for my Mum's 85 surprise, the first person I met was on reception at the shop, (missed her name) long dark wavy hair, was also our guide later in the day, she was amazing, it made the whole experience very special, we had a beautiful Welsh stew for lunch and visited the factory and stamped our own coin, were able to browse the exhibition, very professional and even have my mum a gift. Thankyou for a wonderful day 👏 👏👏 various tours are available, we enjoyed the experience with lunch, afternoon tea also available. 😄

Really enjoyable from the welcome, the tour and cafe. Our tour guide was, Dan, who was very knowledgeable with a good sense of humour. It's a very interesting tour taking in the whole history of the Mint. Our ticket included the strike your own coin - this changes every six weeks. No photos whilst on the tour. Very nice cafe with good coffee, good menu at very reasonable prices. Nice shop, WCs and large free car park. Would recommend.

The Royal Mint Experience was very good. The tour walking through the machine area was interesting and the young man giving out the information was very knowledgeable. We actually made a £2 coin on the day which we now have as souvenir. There is a cafe and toilets on site and a very large museum for you to visit. No photographs allowed on the tour

All staff were pleasant and helpful. Very knowledgeable. Food was lovely in cafe. Gift shop had lots of interesting stuff. They our was very interesting and informative. Got to strike our own coin.

I really enjoyed visiting the Royal Mint. The guide was very knowledgeable and informative throughout the tour. Seeing where the coins are made in the factory was interesting. You can mint your own coin. The exhibition was really well put together and showed lots of history of coin making, with exhibits of coins, medals and equipment used to priduce them. There's a lovely shop where you can purchase coins and other gifts from. The staff were friendly, and you can eat and drink in their friendly restaurant. Overall a superb day out.

Had a really enjoyable visit to the Royal Mint. Tom the tour guide was excellent, really knowledgable and engaging. The tour was fascinating, even without the production on the day you got to learn exactly how the coins in our pockets are made. The gift shop was well stocked if not a little expensive but the cafe was a real gem. Delicious, well made food and great value for money. All the staff were happy and friendly too. All in all an excellent few hours.
