Was disappointed to find the miniature train was all blocked off for maintenance, had all year but choose the first week of the summer holidays to do it, so, thought we'd go and look at the hall...nope, not possible as that was enveloped in a huge white screen, ok, so we went to the cafe and was charged £10 for a baked potato!! Parking is not free and you are not allowed to use a blue badge... had a little play area for kids and mini golf and Go Ape, " ornamental " pond was more like black slime and full of lily pads, totally neglected, lots of space for kids but lots of dogs off lead, so be careful, take a picnic too to save yourself some money

I've been coming to this park for several years now and honestly, I feel like it is going a bit downhill. We arrived today and the two main play frames were sectioned off for repair. The funfair had stopped even though all the kids aren't back in school until at least Thursday. The go ape climbing was shut. The little train track is NEVER running when we go. It looks like it's undergoing maintenance but never seen anyone working on it. The duck pond has blue algae in it and doesn't seem like it is being treated. The main gardens with the lovely trees have been shut now for about 2 years. No idea why! The toilets are really smelly and the soap box hasn't been fixed in at least 12 months and you could really do with putting some toilets down near the smaller wooden park as I've been caught out twice there now with my toddler who needed a number 2! Luckily had bags on me for her to do it in! On a positive note, the cafes / shops are great. There's some woodland you can walk through which is good to explore. There's a range of play equipment suitable for all ages and 2 places you can play mini golf. Plenty of sit down spaces and picnic tables. Parking is cheap and you can spend hours there on a good day. The new flower garden is really lovely. There's a great little bird watching area and the shop on the way in is selling wild bird food for you to put on the tables. Wigan council need to do a lot better! This is a well used park and would be so much better with access to all areas!

We had a lovely day here. The park caters for all ages. There are 2 crazy golf's, my nearly 4 yr old grandson loved his first time playing this. The staff in the crazy golf were really friendly guy's and at only £1 per person, it's well worth visiting. We went to the cafe for lunch and the staff there are also very helpful and friendly. Only 2 highchairs available that we could see but we managed to beg one off a lady who's child had finished eating and also passed ours on after we finished with it. We also visited the small funfair. Tokens only and each token cost £2.50. Only thing I don't agree with is that the parent on the rides with small children have to pay a token too. We will definitely be going back there.

Great place for a walk, plenty to do come along and try out the Low and High Ropes course. A few places to get food and drinks.. a couple of ice cream vans and a shop. Kids park and fairground rides at weekends and school holidays. Parkrun every Saturday good route on trails which can be muddy at times it’s down hill a loop then back up the hill.

My two children, 11 and 8, and I, had a brilliant time here yesterday. It was a little disappointing to find there's quite extensive renovation works going on at both the hall and along the miniature railway, and this is the reason for the 4☆ review - not that we minded the work at all, it's clear this is in the best interest of the hall and the miniature railway, but that there's no mention on the website or Facebook page (which I checked prior to our visit) and also that we didn't know the path passing the swan pond to complete the 1 mile circuit was closed as there was no signage until we got there. It didn't make our day any less enjoyable, as we followed the path around past the victorian kennels ruins (a huge hit), then followed the canal back to the car park, but those paths weren't suitable for pushchairs or scooters so families with younger children would've had to turn back. Our 1 mile walk turned in to a lovely 3 mile trail, which we finished off with a picnic, a few fairground rides (all very quiet, I expect due to the rides costing £2.50 each), and an ice cream from the van (£10 for 3). We did head over to the playground, but we found the equipment a bit too busy for us so we went back to find their favourite tree and had a bit of a climb before we left. £3.50 for the car park all day is a bargain when compared to other similar locations, particularly as there is so much going on here for children. We spent 4.5 hours here in total, but could easily have stayed all day, and we look forward to returning when the miniature railway re-opens as the kids would've loved this. It would just be nice to know before you travel what closures are in place, so you can plan your day accordingly.

Haigh Hall and the surrounding plantations, AKA Haigh Woodland Park are a great place for a bit of R&R. The main path through the plantations is wide and and is surfaced with tarmac making it accessible for all. It's both dog and cycle friendly with several entrances that include access from Swinley, Whelley and Haigh. As of March 2025 the main hall, a listed stately home, is currently undergoing restoration however there are many other facilities in the immediate vicinity. These include a sprawling playground for the kids, high rope adventure, mini golf, a great little bar and numerous cafes and shops. There is also a large carpark close to the facilities for those who wish to arrive by car.

Great place to take your family. CONS 1. The car park is pricey 2. The drinks at the outlet we stopped at were very pricey (£6 for a hot chocolate) PROS 1. Attractive extensive walks 2. Lots for children 3. Well laid out My advice ...bring a picnic.

Great place for a family day out! Had a lovely experience at this place. The whole area is very clean and well maintained. The small zoo was a pleasant surprise, free and perfect for kids to enjoy. There's a large, impressive playground with plenty of activities to keep children entertained for hours. Parking was £4.50 for the whole day on the weekend. Overall, it’s a peaceful, fun, and family-friendly place to spend the day.

Beautiful park with many free things to offer. The mini zoo inside is a pleasant surprise with a variety of animals more to offer than most farms I have been to and it’s free. Open spaces with beautiful garden centre with plants to see a lovely little cafe with little stalls, plenty of clean toilets spotted around the area near the park as well as near the cafe area, definitely well kept and a breath of fresh air. The open spaces and park is just amazing with alot to offer children of all ages. Not many places have free things to offer and this had a good mix. There are two ice cream vans with affordable but delicious ice creams as well cold drinks. The zoo closes around 4:30 and the cafe at 5:00 so ensure you don’t miss out and go within the times of possible. The Thomas ride on is £3 per person and flags for £1 lovely little feature if you don’t fancy walking but want to see the park. Car park is pay and display and disabled spaces getting 3 hours for free.

Was fortunate to be able to have a wander around the hall as part of Heritage Open Days. The lady from the Friends group was extremely helpful and the group have done an excellent job with the house. It was built in the 1830's by the Greenall family, of brewing fame. Hopefully that work will continue so that it can continue to develop and be opened up more often for the public. It's now owned by the Council who have developed the grounds with a children's zoo and play area, as well as a cafe and plenty of local walks.

Recently checked this place out. It's great for families. You have a big children's play area. A children's zoo which is more like a farm with farm animals to visit. You also have a jungle Parc, crazy golf for children and normal golf course for adults. Cycle museum which I think you got to book to visit. You have Walton hall and gardens, a pond to view and there is also toilets and a cafe on the premises. Ideal place for a local day out with the family. Opens 8am until 8pm Current parking costs for cars Mon to Fri = £3.50 decent size carpark. Sat to Sun (bank holidays) =£4.50

Lovely day put for kids. Cute little zoo and play area. Gorgeous formal gardens. Parking wasa a challenge as was packed but managed to fund somewhere in the end. On way out went for a walk down the canal which was lovely.

Gorgeous park with a little animal area, really good sized play park for children with two separate areas for different ages. The food is gorgeous in the stables cafe area too. Nice visit.

Must say a hidden gem park with an amazing mini zoo (and it's included with the car parking which was £4.50 for the day). Very neatly maintained and loads of spaces to explore within the park. Will recommend getting some snacks & coffee from outside although there's a cafe in the park but a bit expensive (£4-6 for a coffee/hot choc). Overall it's a fun park with kids around.

We went with three kids 1, 3 and 7. They all thought it was great. The newer areas like Oz are well kept but some of the other areas just need a lick of paint and a tidy up. We saw a lot of rubbish and uncleaned parts of the park (picture of the lake). Every member of the young staff team were great, couldn’t be faulted. The rides are fine for that age, although most had a decent queue of 20 mins to 45 mins. We stayed in the lodge accommodation which was fine, don’t expect anything exceptional (the price reflects that). The safari lodges were chip board throughout with no doors separating the rooms and the shower filled up within seconds so your wash will be quite rushed. With that said as adults we saw both negatives and positives. The kids only saw the positives. If your going for a day or two with an overnight stay it serves the purpose.

We went on and SEN day where the park was quiet and both ourselves and our two little boys really enjoyed it. Weather wasn't great but we were still able to use all the rides, staff appeared to be more understanding of everyone's situations and if there was no queue they allowed us to stay on the ride for another turn which saved the hassle of having to get the kids off the ride to then put them back on after walking back to the entrance. Park is showing its age and could do with a general clean and update, but still a really fun day

Wow what an evening. We went as a large family group last night to the Land of Lights in Gulliver's World. This was our first time to this kind of event and we were not disappointed at all. The whole experience was truly spectacular. The lights were fantastic, the food great. We had pizzas all round nd the kids really enjoyed the witch ice-cream tubs, while the adults went for the delicious hot chocolate. All the staff were really friendly and helpful including all those on fire out duty for roasting the marshmallows . Along with I think it was Pete and Amanda who were really friendly and exceptional in their service 😁. I would highly recommend this if you have never been. We will definitely be back and watch out for further events at Gullivers.

This is a really fun theme park for the kids. I think the ages they are aiming at are probably between 6-10 but they still have some rides for the older kids too. Some rides are very popular & the wait time can be up to 30+ minutes but when I went it was Bank Holiday Sunday so was bound to be busy. My daughter is 14 & although some rides are for little kids they still had a few aimed at older kids such as the rollercoaster & drop ride which were really fun. We will definitely return & take my niece again when she's a bit older.

We went bank holiday Monday for my son’s birthday, paid £122, for 4 people we managed to get on 4 rides. Then over £100 extra inside the grounds, Really disappointed, most rides were 2 hour queing times. it wasn’t even they were really packed the problem was they had 1 person loading the rides, that same person would then have to strap each person in so the safety checks then set the ride in motion, then stop the ride unload the ride then reload the ride, the big rollercoaster only had 1 carriage running. Considering it was a bank holiday they should have had more staff working, knowing the weather was hot and it would be busy. The place is card only the internet went down couldn’t buy drinks ice cream nothing for like 40minutes. When we finally got round to getting drinks got through the massive ques there were no bottled pop left no bottled water. We went in the restaurant at the main entrance for lunch, the food was served quite quickly, but while eating lunch the power tripped like 7 times. I have made a formal complaint said I would hear from them within 7 days, I’m still waiting 2 weeks later 🙈 would we visit here again No, and we’re local only around 20minutes away, we normally do the eat sleep play and have been to Milton keys and Sheffield and Yorkshire. Never had any problems like we had in Warrington, I don’t think we will visit here again.

It was our granddaughters birthday and we went along to the park with her. It turned out to be a great day out. There are tons of rides for younger children and lots of parks to play in with picnic area's nearby so you can eat while the kids play. There isn't very much for older children to ride on, so it's limited in that respect. But if you have younger children, it's great value for money and you can easily spend all day there and just about see it all.

Lovely day out, queues weren't bad even for the school holidays. Plenty for all age ranges. Food is a decent price, best food was from restaurant at entrance to the theme park. Some rides need a bit of tlc but it's a boss little day out, even better if you can get an online discount. Also visited for the xmas grotto and light show in 2024, great experience. Top tip is to do the grotto earlier in the day as the queues can get a couple of hours long.

We had a lovely day out here recently. It was a very warm day so we made use of some activities there with shade and water. The play pass worked out well for us for our children. The indoor water play with sandpit and play/climbing equipment was very crowded at times but it was perfect for a hot day so we went when it was not too busy and the kids were entertained for a long time. They also enjoyed the Gemstone activity and the new sensory play area. The soft play was overcrowded and it felt cramped. Be mindful that there are wasps everywhere but it looks like they have measures in place to manage this but still there were just so many. Thankfully we didn’t get stung. The icecream is delicious. For a day out there is so much to do there but it also works out quite expensive. It’s good that there is a good enough play area as you enter that you don’t need a play pass for. There was one member of staff that was extremely helpful, a young lady who served us in the water play part and the gemstone activity. Didn’t catch her name but she went above and beyond and seemed like she genuinely loved working there.

What a great day out. The entry cost is cheap enough, and then you pick and choose what activity play areas you'd like to add on. Good news, once you've paid for the activity area, you can go back as many times as you want during the day. Recently opened a sensory outdoor play area with soft mat flooring. Must have cost a fortune! Don't miss the indoor sand and water play area. Food was OK, typical burger and chips style, but fine for a family treat. Ice cream galore! And it's rather special too. Shame about the bubble tree that is supposed to spurt out bubbles once an hour. Otherwise a great day out!

We used the Drive-in for a couple of cones. Easy ordering and quick delivery. Fun, unusual way of getting your ice cream. I think the ice cream menu could have some more information maybe regarding the flavours themselves. The play centre itself looked pretty busy and the car park was full. Attendant was helpful in making sure we got to where we needed.

We love it here! We hadn’t been for a couple of years so we was happy to see there was a lot more activities. The new park is beautiful and colourful. Kids loved it! It’s great that you can spend as much time as you want in there too and the icecream is amazing. Had a lovely day with my family will be visiting again!

Great place for young children and families. So many activities to choose from covering a wide age range, from 5-15 year olds. Generous portions served in the restaurant with a decent selection too. Naturally an enormous selection of ice creams too choose from. Fairly expensive but a worthwhile day out!

Great day at Ice cream Farm 🚜🍦 was busy this day but kids have lot of fun. Many places to do picnic and play areas. My favorite was Ice cream fields colourful and so many activities. At the end we had Ice cream, so many flavours it's hard to choose 😅 I had mango and passion fruit, was delicious 😋

Kids really enjoyed the day out at The Ice Cream Farm even though the weather wasn’t too great. The water and sand area was the area they spent most time at. Make sure to bring water shoes and spare clothes as they will get wet and dirty. Water is very cold be warned. Pricing is individual for all attractions or can buy a pass. Ice creams are nice with plenty of choice. Overall good day.

This zoo is awesome! It’s big, so give yourself a few hours to explore. The elephants, rhinos, and bears were amazing to see, and I was lucky enough to spot the leopard too. The exhibits are huge and well designed, with plenty of space for the animals but still great views for visitors. Highly recommend!

Great day here. The animal enclosures are nice and spacious. It was informative. The butterfly House was very busy with them flying around and the free flying bat house was great. Great to see some species we hadn't seen before. Plenty of refreshment places and toilets.

Lovely zoo, although entry is on the rather expensive side, you can get them slightly cheaper if you buy online in advance. The zoo is large enough that you can spend the whole day walking around it, with many different enclosures to visit. There are daily feedings and talks that you can watch and listen to, if you time it right.

I had a lovely visit last week at Chester Zoo. Everywhere you look there is an animal being helped via a breeding program, with information about them near their habitat. The zookeepers are very clearly passionate and caring in their roles.

Awesome zoo, well laid out and so much to see. Animals are clearly well looked after and the whole set up is top quality. Very accessible for those with limited mobility (wheelchair friendly) and notices for those with sensory issues too.

We visited Chester Zoo for a day trip and had a thoroughly enjoyable experience overall. The staff were excellent—friendly, approachable, and always willing to help, which made a real difference throughout the visit. Parking was straightforward, with wide spaces and clear signage, making arrival stress-free. The zoo itself offers a fantastic break for families, with plenty to explore and good facilities for young children. Hiring a trolley proved to be a brilliant option, especially when carrying backpacks or managing tired little ones. That said, there are a few areas that could be improved. The toilets did have a noticeable odour, which detracted slightly from the overall comfort. Free water is only available at the entrance, and it would be a thoughtful gesture to provide additional refill stations around the site, particularly on warmer days. To see all areas in one visit, you may need to keep a brisk pace—so plan ahead if you're hoping for a more relaxed experience. While the range of animals is impressive, we did notice the absence of certain species such as tarantulas, scorpions, and unfortunately no sharks or crocodilian species. Despite these minor drawbacks, Chester Zoo remains a well-organised and enjoyable destination, especially for families. We’d happily return and recommend it—with just a few tweaks, it could easily be a five-star experience.

A brilliant zoo, with so many different animals of varying sizes to see. The keepers are both passionate and knowledgeable about the animals they look after. as are the volunteers. Best to visit over 2 days, so as to ensure you see everything without having to rush.

A great way to get your bearings around the city centre the walls stretch for over two miles and are amongst the most intact in the UK. You have views of the River Dee…. the Roman garden… famous clock tower …the Chester Canal and Cathedral all from the raised walkway

Some lovely views from up the city walls Gotta say that the state of the walls is pretty good for ancient architecture. Also if I'm correct it was restored in 2015 which made it more safe and durable Anyways it's free so go see them!! 😉

My Stroll Through Chester Walls, Chester Walking along the Chester City Walls was like stepping back in time through layers of English history. These ancient Roman and medieval fortifications encircle the heart of Chester, offering some of the best panoramic views of the city — from the magnificent Chester Cathedral to the River Dee and the charming old streets lined with Tudor-style buildings. The entire walk is around 2 miles (3.2 km) long, and I loved how every section had its own story — the Eastgate Clock, the Northgate, and the Water Tower all stand as reminders of centuries past. The walls are beautifully maintained, and there are plenty of spots to stop for photos or just take in the view. I particularly enjoyed walking during the late afternoon when the golden light made the sandstone glow. It’s an easy and peaceful walk suitable for all ages, with clear signboards and multiple entry points. I recommend starting near Eastgate Clock and circling around at a relaxed pace — it takes about an hour if you pause to explore along the way. Visitor Tips: • Wear comfortable walking shoes — the path can be uneven in places. • Early morning or late afternoon walks are best for fewer crowds and lovely light. • Don’t miss the view of the Roman Amphitheatre and Chester Racecourse from the walls. • Entry is free, and the experience feels like a journey through living history. Overall: A must-do experience in Chester — peaceful, scenic, and rich in heritage.

Stunning views and well maintained. They fit in well with their surroundings and a brilliant feature to walk on and be part of experiencing Chester’s history. Loved Chester!!

The Chester city walls are a breathtaking marvel of medieval engineering and historical preservation. As you walk along the ancient ramparts, you're transported back in time, surrounded by the rich tapestry of history and craftsmanship. The walls beautifully encircle the city, their sturdy stones and well-preserved towers creating a striking contrast against the modern skyline. The iconic Eastgate Clock, perched atop the entrance, adds a charming touch of elegance and serves as a stunning focal point.

Walked all the way around and it is free. Lots of viewing points, especially over the town and river. Gentle walk 1½ hours

I love walking the full length of the city walls when I'm in Chester. The 2-mile long circuit, with its gates, medieval towers and viewpoints, is virtually unbroken - though it does descend to street level in places - and it's open all year. Walking at a leisurely pace with frequent stops at points of interest, it takes me about two hours to go all the way round. There are many entry points, but although wheelchair users and people with prams can access the walls in a few places, they would find it impossible to do the full circuit because of uneven stretches and steps. Dogs are welcome, but they have to be on a lead. The best of what Chester has to offer can be seen and easily accessed from the walls: the cathedral, castle, Roman amphitheatre, canal towpath, River Dee boat landings, racecourse, and city centre shops. Some great views, not only of Chester but also of the surrounding countryside and Welsh hills. I find the history on the information boards fascinating. It's hard to imagine that ocean-going sailing ships used to dock right outside the city gates! There are even a couple of shops on the walls, and a unique little café next to the Eastgate Clock that I thoroughly recommend! Walking the city walls is an enjoyable way to get to know and find your way around Chester!

Absolutely lovely place that will keep you entertained for an hour ⛪General info: So there's a lot to see & read at this cathedral. The entrance is not big, but noticeable. Upon entrance, you will find a few pamphlets and will be kindly nudged towards a small donation (£5-10 per person is acceptable). Then, you can immediately proceed to the corridors and halls of the cathedral, as well as a big gift shop. It is notable that, while there's not much walking to do, there's much to see & "inhale" the atmosphere of an effectively ancient place. I'll leave it for you to discover 😊 🧹: State of the place: obviously it's an old old building and I think that the administration is doing their best to keep it tidy and relatively organised. Toilets are clean, no foul smells or anything. I would say there's a few random boxes and just "stuff" here and there, but generally it's pretty nice 🤵Service: obviously in a place like this people will be very nice and polite, as they are working for a greater cause. A lot of personnel going back and forward, moving and cleaning stuff. It's nice to see, as it is clear that this place is loved and is being taken care of Honestly? Visit it. Whether you're religious or not, you'll be in awe of this grandiose piece of history called Chester Cathedral ✌️📿

Extraordinary place. Well maintained, very large, beautiful ceilings, glass, mosaics, metalwork, statues and more. Not to opulent (unlike some) but extremely well maintained. Exceptional value for money with a minimum entry price of £5. Pay more of you can as a building of this size and quality takes thousands per day to keep open.

My Visit to Chester Cathedral, Chester Visiting Chester Cathedral was an unforgettable experience — a perfect blend of history, architecture, and serenity right in the heart of the city. The cathedral stands as one of the most magnificent landmarks in Chester, with its stunning Gothic architecture, intricate stained-glass windows, and beautifully carved wooden choir stalls that tell centuries-old stories. As I walked inside, the calm atmosphere instantly stood out. The soaring arches, detailed stonework, and peaceful background music created a sense of timeless beauty. The central nave is breathtaking, and the Lady Chapel and Cloisters are absolute must-sees — especially the peaceful garden courtyard that feels miles away from the bustle outside. I also climbed the Cathedral Tower, which offers panoramic views of Chester’s rooftops, the city walls, and even Wales on a clear day. The staff and volunteers were friendly and knowledgeable, eager to share fascinating details about the cathedral’s Romanesque origins and its role through medieval times. Visitor Tips: • Entry is free, but donations are appreciated. • The Tower Tour and Falconry & Nature Gardens are worth adding to your visit. • Allow at least 1–2 hours to fully explore and enjoy the architecture and history. • There’s a lovely café and gift shop inside for a quiet break. Overall: A must-visit gem in Chester — awe-inspiring, peaceful, and full of heritage. Perfect for history lovers, photographers, and anyone who appreciates timeless beauty.

A warm and welcoming Cathedral. Lots of interesting bits for everyone. Lovely windows, nice choir and beautiful carvings, esp. misericords. Floors are beautiful tiles. Well worth a visit and donation!

Chester Cathedral is a must-see when visiting the city. The architecture is stunning, with tall ceilings, stained glass, and detailed stonework that reflect its long history. Entry is free, though donations are welcomed, which makes it very accessible. The cloisters and gardens are peaceful and add to the overall experience. There are plenty of small details and historic features to spot as you walk around, and the staff are welcoming and knowledgeable. You don’t need more than an hour or two, but it’s a memorable stop and definitely one of Chester’s highlights.e

Chester Cathedral is a stunning piece of architecture. I highly recommend to everyone to see it. I would have loved to have seen it inside but unfortunately there was a private event happening, I just wished they had put a sign outside saying so, as hundreds of people making their way in to where you pay only to be told by a member of staff we cant go in and the hundreds trying to go out again against more people coming in was an absolute nightmare as it was a Saturday.

You can easily spend at least 3 hours exploring Chester Cathedral. There’s so much to see—from the beautiful architecture and stained-glass windows to the peaceful gardens and historic rooms. It’s a calm and impressive place, and definitely worth taking your time to enjoy

This stadium is an iconic football ground that has so much tied to it that anyone visiting will be swept off his feet, even someone who does not support Liverpool, like myself. I was swept up with the singing, the camaraderie, the enthusiasm and the general atmosphere- I thoroughly enjoyed the experience (Liverpool lost to Man Utd on the day)

We were in London on 19 October 2025, and Liverpool was playing Manchester United at Anfield. We were lucky enough to get two tickets for the match. We joined the queue to enter the stadium at around 4.15 p.m. and got to our seats within 10 minutes—just in time for the players’ walkout. When You’ll Never Walk Alone played, the atmosphere was truly electric—something I will never forget. The passion, the unity, and the roar of the crowd were simply spine-tingling. When the match kicked off, Manchester United scored within two minutes, and the home crowd fell silent. Still, we never stopped cheering for the team, and by the 78th minute, when Cody Gakpo found the net, the entire stadium erupted in joy. What happened after that… I will leave unsaid, as my memory happily ends there. It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience and one to tick off my bucket list. I urge every football fan to watch a match at Anfield at least once. Win or lose, you will never regret it.

Beautiful building. Best stadium in UK regularly wins awards. Great toilets and concourse facilities. Premium customer service with scouse ethos. Large selection of food. Lots of bars and restaurants. Tours..shop. events. Surrounded by beautiful park land. A number of murials surround. Disability friendly and accessible. Parking in streets couple mins walk. Worst a visit. Recommended.

The atmosphere in the stadium was absolutely electric! The fans were so passionate, and hearing You’ll Never Walk Alone gave me chills. Liverpool beat Real Madrid 1–0, and Thibaut Courtois was definitely the standout player for Madrid. Best crowd I’ve ever seen!

Visiting Anfield was an unforgettable experience! It was a surprise gift from my loved ones — a tour of the legendary Liverpool stadium, which I’ve supported for years. I was lucky to have a sunny day, and walking through the stands and seeing the pitch felt like a dream come true. The atmosphere, the history, and the emotion of the place are truly special. A must-visit for every Liverpool fan or no fan!

Had a lovely experience visiting Anfield Stadium. Although I’m not a Liverpool fan, the club and its players are truly deserving of their status and rich history. I explored the Liverpool FC shop and museum — such an impressive collection of trophies and memorabilia on display. It’s amazing to see that Liverpool have at least one of every major cup, even if some are replicas, they still capture the club’s incredible legacy. I couldn’t resist picking up a customised Liverpool mug with my name on it for £12.50 at the gift shop — an absolute bargain and a great souvenir from a memorable visit.

Absolutely amazing atmosphere. Even when we were posing 3-0 we still belted out you'll never walk alone to cheer the boys on. Beautiful stadium.

Plentiful parking right outside, easy accessibility for all and help on hand if needed. Clean toilets and lovely environment throughout. The staff and volunteers are so friendly and helpful. We had a lovely morning, lunch and a couple of drinks too in the lovely cafe. So many beautiful areas to explore and lots of information on hand. Cannot recommend this place enough for a bit of culture in your life. We will defo be back.

Absolutely stunning! Liverpool Cathedral may not be ancient, but it’s one of the largest in the UK and completely free to visit. It is an unmissable and truly iconic landmark when visiting Liverpool. The towering exterior is breathtaking, and once you step inside, the soaring ceilings and long central nave create an incredible sense of space and grandeur. When sunlight shines through the beautiful stained glass windows, the whole place feels sacred and peaceful. A perfect spot to pause, reflect, and admire truly magnificent architecture, well worth spending some time to explore.

Free to enter, online guides available Either use their app, or Bloomberg Connects, or a family tour. But there are useful signs dotted around. Or book a guided walking tour. £8 gets you up to the top of the tower. Two lifts and 108 steps. All very safe, bit not for wheelchairs. This is an enormous building made of brick, stone, steel and concrete. Unadorned in it's beautiful state. It can make you feel humble or elated, but it is awe inspiring. Pleasant staff, and working ministers. Nice cafe, several toilets. Don't forget the necropolis outside, which is housed in the old quarry. Over 60,000 people buried there after the stone was excavated to build the city. There is parking onsite or cheaper nearby.

I recently visited Liverpool Cathedral, and it was an absolutely breathtaking experience. The architecture is truly magnificent — a masterpiece that beautifully blends history, craftsmanship, and spiritual atmosphere. The vast interior, detailed stonework, and stunning stained-glass windows create an awe-inspiring sense of peace and grandeur. If you’re in Liverpool, I highly recommend visiting this iconic landmark — it’s not just a place of worship, but a symbol of art, history, and culture.

Huge space with many details to spot. Provision of parking and lifts made the cathedral very accessible. Quite a few visitors in the building. Excellent and reasonable cafe plus well stocked gift shop. Unfortunately a band setting up for an evening concert took away any sense of prayerfulness and rather assaulted the eardrums as the noise reached every corner of the building!

One of the highlights of our trip! Liverpool Cathedral is awe inspiring - the scale of it and the beauty of the interiors just breathtaking. I would highly recommend paying to go up the tower - the steps are not narrow at all and seeing the inner structure was incredible - then you are rewarded with the views at the top. I managed the climb with a crutch, so manageable with care and rest stops.

Beautiful Cathedral with wonderfull staff and a fabulous cafe too. Easy walk from the station and breathtaking when it comes into view. Worth paying the small fee to go up the tower, if the weather is clear, as the views are incredible. Had a grand chat with Mike, who was helpful, knowledgeable and kind. Easy 5 Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Not knowing what to expect and not really a big fan of museums we were pleasantly surprised at how good this was. The staff were very friendly and the audio was easy to use giving details as you walked around. The immersive areas were fantastic, walking around each area with background music really brought things to life. The yellow submarine, the cavern club, strawberry fields, abbey road, penny Lane... everything was amazing. We visited the actual cavern club the night before and the room in the museum was exactly the same. We are so glad we visited. The shop, cafe and discovery area where you could dress up as a beetle were all great too. Highly recommend, probably the best place we visited in Liverpool.

We had an AMAZING experience at The Beatles Story. Went on a Monday in the late morning. There were 4 of us, including our 8 year old Beatles obsessed son. The self guided audio tour allowed a lot of flexibility for our multi generational group. The exhibits were spot on and great photo ops! Learned a ton, had a blast! Definitely recommend!

It was really good. The replica of the cavern club and the yellow submarine were great. The shop is extensive with loads of beatles merch that my kids are now enjoying. Overall a great day The only downside was everyone walking around with the headphones and little tablets. Almost felt like I was in a zombie apocalypse. I had to keep interrupting my party to chat about it, or be interrupt myself when they wanted to chat.

I recently visited The Beatles Story at the Royal Albert Dock in Liverpool, and it was an unforgettable experience! The museum beautifully captures the journey of The Beatles — from their early days in Liverpool and Hamburg to their rise as global music icons. The immersive exhibits, original memorabilia, and lifelike recreations of the Cavern Club and Abbey Road were amazing. The audio guide, included with the ticket, made the visit even more engaging, with detailed storytelling and music clips that bring the history to life. The flow of the museum is well-organized, and I recommend spending at least 1.5 to 2 hours to explore it fully. 🎟️ Tickets can be booked online (around £20 for adults) and it’s best to reserve in advance, especially on weekends or holidays. The staff were friendly and everything was easy to navigate. 🚆 Getting there: The museum is at Royal Albert Dock — about a 20-minute walk from Liverpool Lime Street Station or a 5-minute walk from James Street Station. Buses and taxis are also convenient, and parking is available nearby. 💡 Visitor tips: • Go early to avoid crowds. • Don’t skip the audio guide — it adds so much depth! • Combine your visit with nearby attractions like the Maritime Museum or Tate Liverpool. • Wear comfortable shoes and take time to browse the Fab4 Café and souvenir shop. Overall, The Beatles Story is a must-visit for fans and even those with a casual interest in music history. It’s emotional, nostalgic, and very well presented — a true tribute to the Fab Four! 🎶

Very nice experience with a great history behind the band. You go down the steps into the entrance and are invited to have a green screen photo of yourselves as the beetles, Headsets are provided with short video's shown as you go around and yes you can sit down at various stops and enjoy the story, art, photos and videos of your self guided tour it IS a place to visit if your visiting the UK and enjoy old music and history made and shaped modern sound you have today. I provided a FEW photo's but you will have to visit to enjoy what's there ! Ps The staff are very friendly as are the locals who will guide you to and through the venue 👍

An excellent experience. I spent the best part of 4 hours there because I wanted to learn about all the exhibits. The best part for me was the replica of the Cavern Club - I could just imagine myself there in the 60s, watching the Beatles play! I was slightly let down by the audio guide gadget, which stopped working halfway through my time there. Because there were no staff inside the exhibition, I had to walk through to the end, get a replacement and then go back in. That's why I've removed a star.

What a great place to visit if you want to know the story of the Beatles, very informative and well set out. Audio talks available if you wish or you can walk round and read the information at your leisure

We went to visit it but it was closed due to renovations. The area is nice, spacious and there’s a lot of stores. I was told the museum has incredible exhibits and it’s worth spending time there. There are toilets in every big block and lots of walking spaces.

I popped into the Maritime Museum in Liverpool, and honestly, it’s a gem! Tucked away in the cool Albert Dock, it’s got this vibe that pulls you right into the city’s seafaring soul. You’ve got everything from old ship models to stories about the Titanic that hit you in the feels, plus a really moving section on the slave trade that doesn’t shy away from the tough stuff. It’s all super interactive, so you’re not just staring at dusty relics. Best part? It’s free (though I tossed in a donation). Perfect for a quick visit, maybe an hour or two, and you can swing by the Tate Liverpool after. Loved it—total must-see if you’re into history or just curious!

My Visit to the Merseyside Maritime Museum, Liverpool My visit to the Merseyside Maritime Museum in Liverpool was both educational and fascinating. Located at the historic Albert Dock, the museum beautifully showcases the city’s rich maritime heritage and its vital role in global trade and migration. The museum, part of National Museums Liverpool, also includes the UK Border Force Customs & Excise exhibits, which offer an eye-opening look into smuggling, trade, and law enforcement at sea. The displays are well-organized and interactive, covering everything from the Titanic and Lusitania stories to Liverpool’s role in the slave trade and world wars. The Customs Gallery was especially interesting, featuring real confiscated items and explaining how officers track illegal goods. Visitor Tips: Entry is free, making it a must-visit for history lovers and families. Plan at least 1–2 hours to explore the exhibits, and visit the shop and café overlooking the dock for a relaxing break. The museum is also wheelchair accessible. How to Reach: The museum is located at Royal Albert Dock, Liverpool L3 4AQ, a short walk from Liverpool James Street Station and well-connected by local buses. There’s nearby parking at the Albert Dock car park. A visit to the Maritime Museum offers a perfect mix of history, culture, and real-life stories — a wonderful way to understand Liverpool’s deep connection with the sea and the world.

The Maritime Museum at the Royal Albert Dock in Liverpool is a renowned cultural institution celebrating the city’s rich maritime heritage. Located in the historic and picturesque Royal Albert Dock, the museum explores Liverpool's significant role in global seafaring, trade, and migration. The museum features engaging exhibits on topics such as the Titanic, the Lusitania, and the city's vital links to the transatlantic slave trade. Visitors can delve into detailed displays of historic ships, maritime art, and artifacts, as well as learn about the evolution of Liverpool as one of the world’s most important ports. With interactive exhibits, educational programs, and a stunning waterfront location, the Maritime Museum offers a compelling experience for history enthusiasts, families, and tourists alike. It's a key part of Liverpool's UNESCO World Heritage waterfront and provides insights into the city’s profound relationship with the sea.

Great museum with great guides. Great place to bring family, pupils, students to learn about British history, the trans Atlantic slave and how much Britain had to do with it, among many other things. Highly recommend! For anyone bringing children, please brief them on being respectful for there's a lot of sensitive history displayed.

Incredible place with so much history. Suitable for all ages and also has interactive features throughout. Free to enter but a £5 donation is appreciated. Well worth £5. But it's not mandatory to pay. So a low income family could visit for free.

I personally feel this Maritime museum in Liverpool is better than the one in London. Really enjoyed it. There are 3 floors showing different themes to make me understand so much about the maritime’s world. Also there are a lot of parts to make kids interested. Will definitely bring kids to come again. 2-hour trip with kids is an ideal timing to enjoy I suggest. Definitely A Great Museum👍

The Museum of Liverpool is a standout gem on the city’s waterfront—both architecturally and experientially. Its striking modern design sits beautifully on the Pier Head, and once inside, the views are simply stunning. Expansive glass windows offer sweeping panoramas of the River Mersey, making it feel like you're part of the landscape as you explore the museum. It’s a rare treat to find a space that connects the past and present so seamlessly, both inside and out. The exhibitions are as engaging as the setting. From Liverpool’s social and industrial history to its deep musical and sporting roots, everything is thoughtfully curated and full of local pride. Interactive displays and rich storytelling make it accessible and fascinating for all ages. But what made my visit truly special were the surprises. During my time there, a local community choir performed—unexpected and moving. It added such a warm, human element to the experience and underscored the museum’s role as a living part of the community, not just a place for static exhibits. Whether you’re a tourist or a local, this museum offers more than you might expect. It’s a place where architecture, heritage, and people come together beautifully.

It’s a great place to look back on the history and learn about trades, railway revolutions, lifestyle and some glimpse from WW1 and WW2 in city soldiers section. It’s worth the trip. It is well maintained, educational and walkable distance from bus and train station.

The Museum of Liverpool* is a fantastic modern museum that captures the heart and history of the city. Located along the iconic waterfront, it offers engaging exhibitions on Liverpool’s rich cultural, social, and industrial heritage. From The Beatles and football to the city’s maritime past, the museum tells powerful stories through interactive displays, artefacts, and multimedia. The architecture itself is striking, and the views of the Mersey from inside are stunning. It’s free to enter, family-friendly, and a must-visit for anyone wanting to truly understand Liverpool's identity.

Nipped in here with my 9 year old and my husband as we were in Liverpool to go to my university library. I have been here many times and everytime I feel like I am seeing something new or realising I missed something the last time I was there. The atmosphere is so calm 😌 The staff there are so lovely and helpful, lifts work and toilets were very clean. There were some interactive displays for the children to get involved in which was amazing to see. Will definitely be back 😀

​A Trip Through Time, with Room for Improvement: ​The Museum of Liverpool offers a truly compelling journey through the city's rich history, and my recent visit was filled with moments of discovery and appreciation. The exhibits themselves are thoughtfully curated, covering everything from the city's maritime past to its vibrant musical heritage. It's clear that a great deal of effort has gone into telling Liverpool's story, and the sheer breadth of content makes for a very interesting and informative visit. ​The staff also deserve a special mention. They were incredibly helpful and knowledgeable, always ready with a friendly smile and keen to answer any questions. Their enthusiasm for the museum and the city's history was infectious and added a lot to the overall experience. ​However, a couple of issues detracted from what could have been a perfect visit. The first was the use of audio within the displays. In several sections, audio—whether it was spoken dialogue or ambient sound—was playing, and the noise from multiple sources made it very difficult to concentrate. It was a real challenge to read the display boards and absorb the information when competing with overlapping audio from other parts of the exhibition. ​Secondly, the lighting in some areas was far too dim. While I appreciate the intention to create a certain atmosphere, the low light levels made it genuinely hard to view the items and, more importantly, to read the text on the display boards. I found myself straining to make out words and details, which took away from the enjoyment of the exhibits. ​Overall, the Museum of Liverpool is a must-visit for anyone interested in the city's past, thanks to its fascinating content and excellent staff. However, addressing the issues with audio and lighting would make the experience significantly more accessible and enjoyable for all visitors. The museum has the potential to be truly world-class, and these small changes would make a huge difference.

Great to see a museum that embraces diversity not only in variatey of exhibits but also of the historical developement of the city its population, highs and lows. Welcoming and helpfull staff also improved the experience. Thank you.

This is a fascinating free museum (or if you wish, you can pay a £5 donation at the entrance). You are able to pick different trails and follow them through the exhibits.

A fantastic family day out. The staff were amazing, friendly, helpful and supportive throughout. The rides were epic, we loved celebrating one of our granddaughters birthday's here. A couple of rides were still closed like the Rocket which was disappointing but we made full use of all the others. All in all, highly recommended day out

Visited on a dry sunny Saturday in May and the fairground wasn't busy meaning hardly any queues. Good for kids under the age of 12 as there is a wider range of rides they can go on. Tip: If you book in advance online you can get it cheaper (we did this whilst stood outside) Some rides out of action and parts of the park looked very tired and could do with lots of attention to spruce them up. Overall, an average park which offers cheaper admission than others so would recommend a visit whilst in Southport

What great value for money, managed to go on everything more than once, the children absolutely loved it and we did too. So much choice and excitement. Staff were lovely, the place is well maintained and food was good and cheap too :) would definitely come again and recommend to friends/family. Made some nice memories today.

I attended the Paws in the Park event on Saturday 28th June as part of the Preston Agility Dogs Team. We had a brilliant day and Marri who organised it with the team couldn’t have done any more to help. For their first dog event like this in the short time they arranged it all I think they did a brilliant job, everyone on the team had a great day including all our dogs, we were made to feel welcome and appreciated and enjoyed all our interactions with all staff who were happy to chat to us - even Captain Jack Sparrow left his important jar of dirt to come and watch our display! We had 3 set times we did our shows which were advertised on boards around the dog section of the park. I would be very happy to come back next year with my agility team and watch the show get bigger and better. My only feedback would be to put all the dog stalls and events in the same area so we are all in one big section together, with a few more stalls which I have no doubt doggy people would love to join next year it will be a fantastic yearly event Thanks to all involved

Absolutely great day at paws in the park had a great day all staff were great had a really enjoyable dog friendly day thank you so much to all who helped put this event together looking forward to coming again for the next event

Adventure coast dog show. Travelled for what we thought would be a day out. For an advertised dog show. Absolutely rubbish 2 stalls and a photographer. 1 stall told us they didn't like the breed of dog we had many off. So poor and disappointing worse dog show ever visited. Staff didn't even know it was on or where it was. Asked for refunds miss sold , told no.

Wouldn't visit with little ones (under 1.1m) as not much for them, it's decent little park, but maybe need to change ticket prices for people attending with smaller ones, as we shouldn't have to pay full price, just to ride on baby rides with them.

Went as a spontaneous trip around 7/8 at night and the beach was still lively and amazing. Watched the sunset as we sat on the beach

March 2025. Good news everybody! Oh apologies, my mistake, that was for another topic. Truth is there is no good news for the Pier and I predict the tolling of the death knell has picked up intensity. It appears that Sefton Council has had two fingers from the National Lottery Heritage Fund and that a meagre £10 million grant is not forthcoming anytime soon. Hey, here's an idea, next year you're going to need more money to fix the pier because the bloody thing is being trashed by the elements and can be seen visibly rotting like a dead horse in a meadow. Southport is suffering: the streets are practically deserted during weekdays and weekends are hardly thronged. This is my personal opinion but the Pier is ultimately destined for a lingering death: this pier is no more, it has ceased to be, it's expired and gone to meet its maker. It's a stiff, bereft of life, it's kicked the bucket, shuffled off its mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir. Watch this space folks for more sad news about this once treasured splendour's untimely end. Update December 2024. It's been almost two years since the Pier was deemed unsafe to walk along it's historic boardwalk. Have I good news for fans of this Victorian treasure? No. The Pier is still in a sad and sorry state, it's rotten frame extending towards a slate grey horizon and mired in the saltmarsh clogged mudflats, desperately seeking a saviour to throw a lifeline to save it from the slurry brown soup of the relentless Irish Sea. Sad days. Update July 2024. We have a Labour MP in Southport for the first time so let's hope it's not a pig in a poke of a vote and something akin to a starting gun is fired on the pier's restoration. The cost isn't just in the repair itself but in the lost revenue for businesses and the local economy and Southport's image as a tourist destination. Update June 2024. No change. Still closed and rotting away from neglect. If I wasn't so cynical then I would believe it's going to be repaired to its former glory and not be left to rust into the Irish Sea by the local Ostriches who are allegedly in authority. Currently closed for repairs due to damage discovered in December 2022. It's a seemingly endless process of inspections with no proposed date for reopening as of March 2023. It's a good job it's not a main attraction or a building that Southport is famous for and that attracts tourists, isn't it Sefton Council? Great for a stroll whatever the weather.

Very busy on weekends/ school holidays so be prepared to que for your fish n chips, rides etc. Fantastic views on the lengthy promenade with ample places to stop for a rest & refreshments. We loved the Penny arcade train ride. It took us right the way along the promenade & only cost a couple of quid return. Quit clean & tidy considering most of the bins were full to the brim. Huge thumbs up to all the staff working their socks off to please the crowds 👍

A busy but fun place to take the family. The beautiful Pier had a small train that will take you out and back should you get tired. There's food and an arcade at the end of the Pier to enjoy as you sit and watch the waves. Even enjoyable to visit during the winter.

Beautiful day out. Plenty of places to eat. Lovely town. Free parking for disabled blue badge. Pretty shops well worth investigating. Very friendly local people. Will certainly be going back. On the pier there were free loos.

It was a lovely long walk down the pier with little trains riding up and down the sea was so far out couldn't see it but the walk was nice to the end, a bit breezy but relaxing. Had a latte and a very sad ham and cheese sandwich which I hardly ate as it wasn't the best. Then rode the little train back, they even take card payment for the ride £4 return or £3 thats adult price unsure of other concessions one way was worth it, especially for the experience.

Had a leisurely walk to the end of the pier 🥵🥵 WOW!!! Was it warm!!!! Enjoyed an ice cream and a brew, before jumping on the train for the return journey. Thoroughly enjoyed it, in the lovely hot weather and can't wait to do it again! (We must be mad!!! 😂)

Gorgeous. Soft sandy beaches, plenty of things to do, Ice cream to die for! donuts, coffee, hot chocolate, beer, wine, cakes, sandwiches, chippy, cafe, pier with arcades. Spud hut, dand dunes, crazy golf, leisure centre. Ample parking. Scenes are amazing

Good selection of arcade games for all ages. There is also a cafe and a Spud Hut on the actual pier which are reasonably priced and there's plenty of seating to enjoy the view!

Great little park up near here at the carpark. Only a short walk away. It was about £20 for the night which isn’t the cheapest but it was quiet, safe and a very short walk into town… 🚐 🍻 🌞 🏝️ 🌊

We were visiting St Annes and dropped by this pier. We had beautiful weather and enjoyed the ocean view. It has stores, amusement, restaurants, and ice cream shops.

Typical.pier with arcade machines, outdoor seating area, gift shop, cafe and waffles/doughnuts. Sea was miles away from the pier. Carpark is a bit small and not one of the council ones.

Very pleasant, small pier in Lytham. Free entrance, leading into the amusement arcade. Once you get through here (eventually), you are on the main pier. There are a couple of eateries and plenty of seating out towards the end. Lovely views out towards the sands and sea of Lytham.

Went to visit the beach to film some footage for a music video I'm producing. Beach was nice and clean. The pier itself is basic and has the usual arcade machines for the kids. A few eateries out on the pier (didn't partake though). A nice day out for children and families I'd say.

It was truly a wonderful trip. Me and my family absolutely loved seeing the wonderful sculptures! They weren't just magnificent, they were amazing, innovative and I loved how symbolic the pieces were. There were so many to see and the facts they held too was fascinating to learn. Even though it was raining, we still had a brilliant time. We wish you the best and want to say thanks for having us.

Heard about this place from word of mouth and was not disappointed. Did a memory jar Xmas 24 for my dad so we have time together more than gifts. The sun came out and we had a fantastic day. So nice to simply stroll round at our pace, learn things along the way and of course, see the amazing statues. Lunch in the cafe was lovely and the shops were nice to explore. Were there around 3.5hrs in total and to see my dad enjoy it so much was precious! Well worth a visit! I will be back!

What an amazing, and not too expensive day out with the early bird tickets. We were truly taken back by the creativity of some of the sculptures. The time and effort that has gone in to each and every one, was honestly outstanding. It’s a really good day out, even if you “sculptures” aren’t really your thing! There is also a really lovely cafe and shop and as we came round to the end, there was also a man playing some music and singing, his voice was gorgeous! The only downside we found, was the walking between some of the sculptures with a little one. Towards the end, he got quite bored and the walking was tiring for him. This is something that can’t really be helped and I should think most 6 year olds would be the same after an hour or so of walking. Amazing day out otherwise, would definitely recommend!!!

Amazing day, a lot more than I realised. Loved the fact sheets especially regarding the endangered animals! Cafe was amazing and the portions were wonderful. You could tell the coronation chicken was homemade, it was delicious! Brilliant for all the family.

What an amazing place! This was our first visit and we had such a fantastic time. So many amazing sculptures, lots of info to read and get the kids talking about important social and environmental topics, friendly staff and delicious food. We loved it and will definitely be back!

We enjoyed our day here. It was Halloween so the staff were all dressed up and they had scare actors. The food looked amazing especially the afternoon tea but we found our scones a little dry but very nice. Was pleased to be there for the return of the Knife Angel. Not a full day out but well worth a good couple of hours.

Amazing day out! We got the early bird tickets which meant we had to be there for 9am. Was a great option it was quiet. We were able to have a lovely breakfast in the cafe and it wasn’t busy. Food was great we had 2 breakfast a sandwich and drinks and it came to £30. Well worth it for quality and portion size. This place is amazing we wondered round for hours so much to see. We did the kids activity sheet so that kept my 9 year interested and active running about getting the clues. Would 100% recommend a visit. In fact we are planning on going back at Xmas time

The Pontcysyllte Aqueduct is a truly breathtaking landmark and a must-visit destination for anyone exploring North Wales. As the highest navigable aqueduct in the UK, it is an incredible feat of engineering and a sight that never fails to impress. Walking along the aqueduct, you are treated to panoramic views of the surrounding Dee Valley, with its rolling hills, winding river, and lush greenery creating a picture-perfect backdrop. One of the highlights of visiting this iconic site is taking a canal boat trip across the aqueduct. Gliding along the tranquil waterway is an unforgettable experience. The boats are charming, well-maintained, and provide a unique perspective of the structure from above the valley. As you travel slowly across, you can fully appreciate the scale and elegance of the aqueduct, while enjoying the calmness of the water and the gentle sounds of nature around you. The scenery along the canal is equally enchanting. Wildlife is abundant, and the peaceful waters reflect the sky and countryside beautifully, making it a photographer’s dream. The boat trips are relaxing yet engaging, offering commentary about the history of the aqueduct and the canal system, which adds depth to the experience. Whether you are walking across, taking a boat trip, or simply admiring the aqueduct from afar, Pontcysyllte is a remarkable place that combines history, engineering, and natural beauty. It is a perfect day out for families, couples, or anyone wanting to enjoy one of Wales’ most iconic and scenic locations.

A masterpiece both an engineering wonder and a stunning scenic spot. Walking across it was such a thrilling experience, with incredible views over the Dee Valley. The height and the narrow canal path make it feel adventurous, yet peaceful at the same time. The surroundings are lovely for a quiet walk or a picnic, and there are a few nice cafés and pubs nearby for a stop afterwards. It’s amazing to think it’s been standing for over 200 years and still functions perfectly. Definitely worth a visit if you love nature, history, or just a bit of adventure

Fantastic to visit. We had a boat ride over the aqueduct for 45mins. The lady guide was exceptional in her knowledge of all the history and details. She was also a " Skipper" and also lived in her longboat moored there. Would recommend a tour if your in the area. Great photograph experience too. Will be back if on holiday in that area again.

Great place to visit, great views and beautiful scenery all around and a really nice stretch of the river dee too. There's a nice easy walk from the aqueduct to Ty Mawr Park which is great if you've got kids with its little animal park, playground and ice cream shop. At the aqueduct you can even hire a canal boat for the day too. Well recommend.

Pontcysyllte Aqueduct is a breathtaking feat of engineering and a UNESCO World Heritage Site nestled in the Welsh countryside. Completed in 1805, it carries the Llangollen Canal across the River Dee on 19 slender stone pillars, soaring 126 feet high. Walking across its narrow towpath offers stunning panoramic views and a thrilling sense of elevation. The aqueduct’s cast iron trough and elegant design showcase Thomas Telford’s ingenuity. Whether by foot or canal boat, the experience is unforgettable—serene, scenic, and steeped in history. It’s a must-visit for lovers of architecture, nature, and heritage, blending technical brilliance with tranquil beauty.

Latest of many visits to the area. Signed up for canoe trip across the Aqueduct with Ty Nant Adventure. Well organised experience with a great instructor. Scenery was great with the autumn colours to be seen all around. Fantastic breakfast in the Old Chapel tearoom.

This is over 200 years old viaduct over the River Dee. You can paddle or walk over it. For safety reasons paddle boarders have to push board with the paddle while walking instead is stand up paddling. View from the viaduct is breathtaking. In good conditions you can for many miles. There is a car park nearby in Trevor.

A proper castle right on the Welsh border with Shropshire. The castle dates from the C 13th but much of the told history dates from the time that the Middleton family moved into the castle in the C 16th. This was during a period of great upheaval of the UK monarchy and government. Most men at the time seemed to be at daily risk of losing g their heads (quite literally) for a misplaced loyalty. The gardens though are the crown jewels of this property, and we were fortunate to visit on a day of good weather.

Not too busy, which made it really enjoyable to explore. The staff were very nice and welcoming. The gardens are beautiful and it’s great that you can take pictures inside the castle too. There are lots of lovely walking paths around, a perfect place for a peaceful day out. It's also a dog friendly too.

Lovely 800 year old castle, with stately rooms, an (empty) dungeon, and stunning peaceful grounds. We spent about 25 minutes inside the castle’s 10-12 rooms, 15 minutes in Adam’s tower seeing the empty dungeon and upper rooms (note: uneven steps), and additional time on the grounds. The house has booklets with info in some rooms, along with great volunteers. Nice lunchtime cafe, with some veg options. There is indoor and outdoor seating, though would suggest following the signs to the additional indoor seating as it points you to the tower seating - which has lovely views from the windows and private nooks to eat. Very peaceful property. Used bookstore and shop at the front also worth a stop.

This place makes for a great day out. It’s a nice drive, a stunning castle and the views out over various counties from the bottom of the garden are amazing. The garden was slightly disappointing. Those borders could be amazing, and should be at this time of year. There is too much bare soil and some of the plants need replacing or rethinking but there are pockets of delight. I’ve felt this year, having visited a number of these historic gardens, that the NT is putting lots of effort into the properties but the gardens can appear a little neglected. Nevertheless, a thoroughly lovely place.

The castle changed hands many times in its centuries so any personal history has been glossed over, but certain parts such as Adam's Tower and the dungeon have been well preserved and are educational as well as a cool experience! The grounds are absolutely stunning in any season, which is intentional, and we had a fun day trip to explore the grounds and buildings.

Beautiful place with stunning views. Most areas of the garden are accessible, the forest area has uneven paths and a pushchair might struggle a bit, not impossible tho ☺️ Great place to run the kids, just be aware of the drop at the end of the garden, it might come as a surprise to some ☺️

Taking advantage of the dogs passport promo with NT we popped up to Chirk Castle for a misty Sunday walk. The gardens and woods were lovely even in the dreary light of a grey day and the castle looks incredibly well preserved despite its age. They sell great mocha coffees and the obligatory pasty that my husband really likes. Sadly they've lost a star for us because despite the vastness of the grounds there were no designated off lead areas for dogs. The two staff in the ticket office were very friendly and polite ☺️

Lots of parking at reasonable cost, card or contactless on the way out. Toilet block near car park. Lots of benches and tables. Plenty of routes to take and explore. Windy at the top and very steep, lose stones underfoot so have sensible footwear. No bins about so lots of rubbish and bags of dogs mess, unfortunately some people are just scummy.

Beautiful place with lovely views great place to go for a walk but quite steep need to be reasonably fit, there are some parking spaces that are free for two hours but any longer and you have to pay in the local council designated area but I can recommend a visit.

Weather walking a circular, linear or point to point route, this is a splendid area. Open mountain tops and easy ridge walking. The views on a clear day are fantastic. A large pay car park has several starting points, including circular walks. If you have dogs, a lead is essential as this is sheep country.

Fantastic walk did the 7 miler very steady going for the first couple of hours then slowly becomes a bit tougher towards the foot of the tower. Hike up to the tower is pretty strenuous but not far. The views are incredible. Car parking and toilets available.

Amazing hike up for sunsets. A little steep but quite easy. Takes about 45 minutes to get up/down each way. No toilets, can be very windy.

Moel Famau (CH7 5PH) is an absolutely stunning park with breathtaking natural scenery and expansive landscapes that make it a paradise for hikers and outdoor enthusiasts. The area is vast and filled with scenic trails, offering everything from gentle slopes to challenging climbs that reward you with incredible panoramic views. It’s the perfect destination for anyone looking to get away from the bustle of city life and immerse themselves in nature’s peace and beauty. That said, Moel Famau feels more like a hiker’s park than a typical family day-out spot. It’s ideal for long walks, trail running, or even a weekend camping adventure rather than for playground-style recreation. There are toilet facilities available, and the open spaces make it suitable for a relaxed picnic or BBQ if the weather’s good. Overall, it’s a must-visit for fitness lovers and anyone who enjoys exploring the great outdoors.

We set out for Moel Famau confidently aiming for the yellow route… and somehow ended up happily marching along the blue one. Clearly, our navigation skills peak at “just follow the sheep.” Despite the accidental detour, the climb was brilliant. Even on a foggy day, the views had a magical, mysterious feel—peaks drifting in and out like something from a fantasy film. The Jubilee Tower appeared out of the mist like a reward for our unintended adventure. Whether you take the right path or invent your own like we did, Moel Famau still delivers breathtaking scenery, fresh air, and plenty of laughs along the way.

Amazing little gem! We found this on a quite rainy bank holiday Monday when everything else in the area was closed! Staff were friendly, and the jail was aimed at adults and kids alike. My sons loved the audio guides on the way round. We stayed just over an hour, as it's very small, and over half of it is closed off to the public due to it storing archives. Worth a visit if you're in the area!

Great value, welcoming staff, historic and educational. Fun and interactive. Lots to learn and several rooms to enter each with their own information. Audio guide as part of your entry was a great touch. You scan and listen or skip on move on to the next bit. Nice gift shop. Set in a quant little town. Car park available nearby within 5 minutes walk for a standard surcharge.

Brilliant afternoon out for all the family. Staff are lovely, the gaol is great, lots of history, dressing up and quizzes for the children and interactive points throughout. Great day

A great find, thanks to Google 😀 We paid our £9 entrance fee. This gives 20% discount when visiting Nant Clwyd Y Dre. The girls on the desk were lovely. I forgot to ask their names, sorry girls. Off we went exploring. We declined the audio tour, but it is available with a map. Plenty of information boards around detailing the history, including its use as a munitions factory during the Second World War. This is a great place for families. Not just little kids get to dress up 🤣 Yes, we did. Guys, you need to make bigger frocks 😊 Anyway, we enjoyed our visit, well done. A few souvenirs available, toilet facilities and a lift for those that need it. Downside, no cafe.

Lovely museum to visit, the audio guides and the interactive screen at the end really added to the experience, and theres interesting things to keep kids interested too.

A really interesting place with plenty of information about how a prisoner was treated and what it was like for them day to day. Well worth a visit.

When we arrived there was no queue for tickets, and there were not many people in the gaol at all. The staff at reception were very friendly. We picked up audio tour devices and made our way around. It was very interesting looking at how the gaol operated, what life was like, and how it was then repurposed during World War 2. The audio tour was very informative, especially for those people who don't like reading all the long information boards. We spent about 2 hours going around the gaol, and felt like we had seen everything.

Magical couple of hours spent here. Highly recommend the breakfast with the seals experience, was a bit damp outside due to it being late October so they gave us breakfast in the aquarium tunnel, just as charming, after breakfast we went through and had an exclusive viewing of the seals and was able to participate in feeding them too. After which we were left to view the aquarium at our leisure. Great time lots of good memories, thank you so much for having us!

It’s a lovely day out here, my 1 year old loves it especially the jellyfish tank. And the food in the cafe is tasty! The seal show is an added bonus too. Can’t comment on the staff as we never seem to have much interaction with them besides the shows. But I have to give 4/5 as I do think it’s quite expensive especially when there’s a full family of people, when you can get around the whole place in 1-2 hours, it’s costly for not a full day out. I do wish they did family tickets. Definitely worth buying tickets online before you visit as they are 10% cheaper 😊

Really wanted to take the three children out without breaking the bank and something different to do. So I took them here, somewhere I’ve not been for a very long time. Price is more than enough for what is there. 25 minutes it took us, start to finish. And that is with the kids looking in every viewing point. (When they could see through the murky water and dirty windows) they still managed to have fun and see the fish.

Enjoyed our visit there. Its a small but nice place. We had a chat with one of the staff, she was lovley and told us a lot about the place. Once you bought a ticket, you could leave and enter again if you showed them your ticket. There is a nice cafe inside too.

Booked tickets online. You were able to come and go throughout the day. Kids enjoyed looking round and doing the touch and feel item that was available. They also enjoyed seeing the seal show. We had photos done and the one we ended up buying was a little dark (and a bit expensive at £8.50) although the seal bubbles was on top form with the poses. The only downside was waiting for over 20 minutes to view and buy the photo as the service was very poor and slow.

Awesome little place. Spent about 90 mins there. Paid online so got a good price for admission, well worth it for the seal show (Nelly is no.1 good girl). Decent variety of sealife, seems like a great place for kids and plenty parking nearby. People commenting how it took them 30 minutes clearly aren't stopping to watch the fish, or read the info boards and just walk around, so they should have just gone to a pet shop.

Food choice was great, but of varying quality depending on what you had. On third night I came down with food poisoning. In the morning I came to breakfast and was asked to use the hand sanitizer. I asked if there had been some sickness amongst guests and was told there was. When I said I had been affected, I was told to return to my room and my wife and I were to isolate. Room service would be provided. I asked for a couple of bananas and was told they didnt have any. We were told to remain in the room until checkout the next day. My parents hadnt asked the question of sickness and had been allowed through to dine. We all later decided to leave and were given a refund for 1 night and 2 meals lost. We had actually lost 3 meals. I am still ill 2 days later and unable to keep a meal down. There has been no contact from BC asking about my welfare or the findings of the investigation into the poisoning of guests. They treated the situation as if it were a virus and isolated those who complained for "the protection of the other guests". Yet they allowed all others to mingle freely and didnt tell anyone that there was a health issue. Double standards. The rooms were ok, but there were dirty marks on most walls. Entertainment was dreadful. Some activities cost extra. Bar prices were high.

Great location, lovely garden lodge room. The beds were so hard, it took two nights to get a mattress topper, that we had to put on ourselves , as no room staff. The food choice was disgusting, not able to service vegetarian or selective meat options, with shockingly poor service, mostly buffet service, with no hygiene controls in place at all. Entertainment was mainly aimed at the older generation, at a push you would call it painful to watch. Not worth the money at all, would never visit again.

Great castle to stay at. Lovely grounds to walk around. Plenty of seats on the walks. Well looked after. Different rooms of your own choice. We had a signature room. Everything & more that you need. Food very good. Many choices & Chef's menu added. Well presented good quality. Staff very helpful & cheerful. Check all your needs especially for duet requirements. Shows good so far. Lots of seating in theatre. Lifts available to different floors. Great place for a break away as all Warners are

Lovely Hotel, although we had a signature room, that was unfortunately over the door to come in and out of the building, the door was very squeaky, not worth the extra money, nothing really different or extra in the room. We did have the absolute best afternoon tea I think I've ever had! We booked last minute and Ethan was initially thrown as they didn't have us booked in, but he dealt with it very professionally, and ensured we were looked after very well, the food was delicious.

Best warners ever for food. Dining arrangements better, you are allocated a table on arrival that is your for duration of your stay so no need to book times for meals... beautiful place though our room was little tired it was comfy though don't like that your room in not cleaned day after yr arrival. As we were there for weekend it meant it was only serviced once on the sundy!!

Enjoyed a 4xnight stay. The rooms were comfortable with tea and coffee available. Check when booking what is in your room as there was no hand soap. Thought this a little odd as most hotel chain's provide this as standard . Shower gel and shampoo however was available. The room is not serviced after the first night but you are advised of this on your arrival. Can't fault the customer service. First class, nothing was an issue. Liked that your table was allocated for the whole stay for both breakfast and dinner so we could choose what time we visited. Food was lovely and enjoyable. Entertainment was good. Be aware that when going to and from the main building to your accommodation, this is all separate. Please check the weather conditions as you may need coats and umbrellas. There are only 2x areas for social gatherings. The lounge and Theatre. The gardens and park area were a nice place to sit or walk. Though you now have to pay for the shooting and archery, it is still worth doing. The staff who run it made it an enjoyable experience. One other issue was the designated smoking area is right outside the main entrance. We found using the side entrance a more suitable option. This was set in good location to visit surrounding areas but felt this Castle was missing separate lounge spaces to enjoy peace and quiet and somewhere to read your book. Other venues do provide this so check before booking

Had an excellent week there in Aug25. Super staff, great food (roast every even I needed, full breakfast every morning). Great entertainments team who work so hard all day. Not a minutes peace, always something going on. For a day offsite do Bodnant Gardens, or drive and park in Rhyl, walk to Prestatyn and get the train back ... really cheap and good exercise after all those roast dinners. I would 100% recommend this place ... tip ... stay in the castle, rooms 'slightly' haunted 😉

Absolutely stunning! Great place for dogs and kids! Or just a little stroll! Cafe's, boat rides, fishing! Was amazing!

Perfect for swimming, the water is warm. Ideal for children as it's very shallow for quite a long distance. Great outdoor activities available, free toilet. Also a restaurant, ice cream. Lots of parking available nearby.

Beautiful and peaceful area, I walked around a good part of the lake and rounded off with a coffee in a cafe

A good place for views of various areas. You can use boats,canoes,wind boards, paddle boards There are walking areas. Dog friendly. Cafe. Toilets. Parking areas. Child friendly. And there is a steamtrain journey the length of the lake and back.

Lovely place to visit. Plenty of stuff going on.

Awesome campsite right on the lake. Great atmosphere and views. Very busy at weekends. Great staff Great for friendly dogs too

Amazing place to cool off, swim, paddle boarding, and other water sports.

Always like a trip on a light railway so thought we would come to bala whilst holidaying in North Wales. You can book your tickets online or the nice people can sell you one when the train arrives...the time table for the train is online or on the notice board before you wait for the train. We parked in town and walked to the platform its about a 20min walk, but I think you can park a bit nearer, lovely views of the lakes as you sit on train, you can pay return journey too...then on our return we did the lakeside walk back into bala as we had the dogs with us, yes they too can travel on the train. You can get refreshments at the other station too. We'll worth a trip 😁

Bala lake Railway is now operating daily 4.5 miles by the side of Lake Bala. We arrived at Llanuwchllyn to start our journey a round trip down to Bala. Parking was free there are toilets, Cafe and a gift shop. While we waited for Alice our little engine to arrive we had a tour of the signal box. There was plenty of opportunity to get some great pictures. Views across Lake Bala was lovely all while you can smell the fumes from the engine while plumes of smoke left the funnel. Sure this is how it was in the old days. The engine itself is ove 100 years old and seems to have no problem in pulling all the passengers and carriages. Staff here were very welcoming and hospitable, we had a great talk to the driver who was a wealth of knowledge as was the signalman. Cost was just over £30 for 2 adults which was for the return journey. At the Bala end you can get off and walk into Bala I would say it took us 20 to 25 minutes. Allowing us around 50 mins to an hour if you catch the morning train you would get 4 to 5 hours. We would highly recommend this great experience where Adults and children alike can enjoy Bala Lake from a different view point. All info can be found online also ticket booking if you prefer to pay at the Station then the Train guard can accept payment and issue you a ticket. Thankyou to all the great staff it was made memorable for all these hard working people.

Gorgeous narrow gauge railway. Beautiful engines and spotless carriages. Llanuwchllyn station is a step back in history that had been preserved in excellent condition. The station cafe serves filling snacks and the gift shop is full of interesting items 😀

Excellent experience with the wonderful heritage small guage steam train. Carriages were spacious enough for the two of us plus our German Shepherd. Scenic route by the lakeside to Bala. Would recommend the short walk into Bala and returning at least a couple of hours later to give yourself browsing time in the charming town of Bala. Warm and welcoming staff and many warm and friendly volunteers. Would recommend looking at the heritage museum, cafe and shop on site.

Purchased tickets for a family of four for a full return trip, after waiting and approaching a member of staff about some details on the lake stop our family was told we’d be refused to be let off at the first stop, an EARLIER stop than what we’d purchased. This was communicated so poorly by staff that could barely give eye contact and offered no solution just “ you can’t do that” needless to say on a extremely warm day with towels in tow and swimsuits on ready for a day at the lake we found a hidden gem of a spot from sheer luck.

The station at Bala is literally a bus shelter. The nearest parking is 15 minutes walk away. The train travels very slowly and in summer when the trees are in full leaf you won't see much of the lake. When you get to the terminus there is a lot to see a d beautifully restored station building with lots of parking and a nice camp site. Start your journey here.

Very friendly staff helping customers on the train. We were lucky that the weather was great. Lovely cakes are available in the cafe on the station at Llanuwchllyn. We visited the engine workshop as well - just asked the person there if we could, and we were invited in. He answered lots of questions that my son had. Lovely view over the lake as we travelled down towards Bala. There are no facilities at Bala just somewhere to sit if you wait to board the next train.

A fun family day out. The forest coaster is the main attraction of course. Didn't wait more than 25 mins to get on. The scenic ride up to the top is almost better than the coaster itself. Lovely woods and an amazing thriss on the way down. Clean and well staffed. A great time for the family.

We came as a group of 20 and had an amazing time! The Fforest Coaster was brilliant – fast, full of twists, and way more exciting than I expected. The whole place has a great forest atmosphere and feels like a proper adventure spot. The staff were really friendly and helpful, and even though there was a bit of a queue, everything ran smoothly. There’s plenty to do – we spotted people on the treetop ropes course, which looked like a lot of fun. The tipi bar seemed like a great place to relax too (shame it wasn’t open during our visit). It’s not the cheapest day out, but definitely worth the money. Highly recommend if you’re in the area – perfect for both kids and adults, and just a really fun day in the trees!

Great fun all the family we had a 5 year and 10 year old both wanted to do activities. Both loved the forest coaster and then zip lines. We moved our booking due to weather forecast this wasnt an issue staff easily did it for us over the phone.

Went here in August of 2023 and forgot to write a review at the time. We had an amazing day out! We went on the zip lines and absolutely loved it - such a thrill and definitely worth doing. We also went on the Penrhyn Quarry Tour which was fantastic, really interesting and well run. The only downside was the food - it was good, but definitely on the overpriced side. That being said, it didn't take away from how much we enjoyed the day. We'd definitely return and are already planning to try the Forest Coaster and Bounce Below next time.

Simply fantastic. Family of four we went on the Alpine coaster, three goes each. Was fantastic. If you want a little bit of adrenaline this is definitely for you looked to be a very well run business friendly staff would go back again thank you very much.

Fabulous, chucking yourself down a hill has never been so fun. Totally recommended. This time of year are great fungi finds, just look to the right on the way up 🍄‍🟫🍄

Zip World Betws-y-Coed is more than just a place for a single thrill ride; it's a full-day adventure park nestled in the stunning scenery of the Gwydir Forest. We visited with our family and were blown away by the variety of activities on offer, each one perfectly integrated into the beautiful woodland setting. The star of the show for us was the Fforest Coaster. It's truly a one-of-a-kind experience. You are pulled up a track slowly, which gives you plenty of time to take in the breathtaking forest views, before you get to control your own speed on the way down. The track twists and turns through the trees, giving you a real feeling of being on a thrilling alpine toboggan. Getting three rides with one ticket is fantastic, as it allows you to get more confident and go faster with each run. Beyond the coaster, we also spent time on the Treetop Nets, which is a surprisingly fun and energetic activity. Bouncing around on huge trampolines suspended high in the trees feels surreal and is a great way for both kids and adults to burn off some energy. The staff were all incredibly friendly and helpful, making sure everyone was safely kitted out and understood the instructions. The location itself is perfect. There's a cafe on-site for a well-deserved refuel, and the park is a short walk from Betws-y-Coed town centre if you want to explore more. Whether you're an adrenaline junkie or just looking for a unique family day out, Zip World Betws-y-Coed delivers on all fronts. It’s an unforgettable experience and a definite highlight of any trip to North Wales.

A stunning fairytale like setting and really back with nature at its finest. Today was 23 degrees Celsius and gave me a good hike for an hour. It's the kind of place you would like to keep secret and have it all to yourself. Beautiful.

Fairy Glen – Peaceful and Atmospheric A beautiful, tucked-away spot with a quiet charm. The steps down are steep, so take care if it’s wet. Parking and entrance are paid via honesty boxes—bring coins and please contribute to help maintain the site. A lovely place for a short walk and a moment of calm.

An extremely beautiful stretch of river in a gorge with rocks and pools. Peaceful and tranquil. The paths are rough with tree roots and the path to the bottom is very steep stone steps that can be slippery when wet. Well worth it to go to the bottom for the tranquil experience. There is a car park near the entrance with an honesty box to pay.

This is quite something ! An amazing and short walk for an afternoon even with mixed weather. Expect to spend around 30 minutes up to an hour depending on how long you like to stare at beauty. Limited parking is available but why not make your way down to the Riverside Hotel for refreshments or an afternoon tea...?

Lovely place to visit, very unlevel but that is the whole appeal, and in its natural state.. leading down to gorge there are some steps but sturdy shoes etc needed and would be very slippery if wet. Dry when I visited..would definitely come again🥰

A fantastic spot to stop on the way to Black Moss pot, our intention was to go to Black Moss pot, but this was such a good spot we just stayed here. It had lovely grassy areas for a beautiful picnic and scenic views and the water. Absolutely amazing to swim in.

The Fairy Glen is well worth the trek but is definitely a proper hike. I was very glad that I had proper grip on my shoes. My travel companion only made it half way down. It was very picturesque.

This promenade is wide and well leveled and beautifully maintained, with a beach on one side and a continual row of benches on the other. There is tons of space for people who walk, bike, and roll. Incredibly accessible, with entrance ramps available.

Iconic Victorian Promenade This is a great place to stroll in summer specially if you have a family & a dog. You just walk around all the way to the pier and spend an delightful afternoon. It is however quite packed in summer, in fact probably one of the hardest place to park in the UK.

A stunning Victorian seaside walkway stretching along the bay. The wide path is perfect for a relaxing stroll with views of the sea on one side and grand hotels on the other. The beach is lined with beautiful pebbles, adding to its unique charm. The pier at the end of the promenade is lively with attractions, while seagulls can be seen all around, often swooping down near food. The atmosphere is calm yet vibrant, making it a great place to enjoy the fresh sea breeze and admire the classic seaside beauty of Llandudno.

This is an incredible place, very nicely done and with lots of benches for people to sit and admire the bay. We went in the afternoon and enjoyed the sun and the breeze sitting here and admiring the beauty around us. This promenade is more than a mile long and it was a pleasure walking through it. The market area nearby has lot of shopping and eating joints too. Would highly recommend for people traveling in this part of Wales to visit and enjoy!

Beautiful place to visit. Clean and tidy. Stunning scenic views, pebble beach, bandstand, busy pier at one end out door pool at the other.

We enjoyed Llandudno a lot more than we expected. The Pier, the Promenade, the seaviews. It's a pretty place to be. The Promenade stretches along the beach from the Pier to the Paddling pool in the east. Almost 1.5 miles in length. Most visitors flock around the Pier area. The further east you walk, the less people you will see. And it's a real nice thing to do, walking the Promenade. Even busy, the Pier is a good starting point. Grab some snacks, some ice cream and get on your way. There's countless benches along the Promenade - all with seaviews :) So it's a perfect spot to enjoy some snacks or a small picnic. The Promenade is very wide, so it doesn't feel crowded. Bikes, dog walkers...there's space for everybody. There is a carpark near the pier, but always full. Some spots along the Promenade, but they're hard to find. We parked just a block away from the Promenade at the Venue Cymru carpark and were really happy with it. Plenty of empty spots.

Lovely front very clean,stop feeding the seagulls fgs,maybe time to cull a few as they are getting annoying,taking stuff from kids hands,mind you why have a picnic on the front your asking for trouble,and also the parking is a joke,all it needs is bays marking out would solve a lot of issues,very multicultural very busy too but much nicer than Blackpool

Conwy Castle is amazing! The place is huge and the views from the towers are just stunning—you can see the whole town, the sea, and the hills all around. Walking along the walls feels like a little adventure, and it’s super fun to explore all the towers and stairways. Everything is really well looked after, and there are signs around that explain the history in a simple way. The town itself is also lovely—perfect for a wander and a bite to eat after the castle. The only downside that there is no free guidance booklet with history clues. Definitely one of nice spots I’ve visited in North Wales!

What a castle! Recommend getting a tour from the conwy visitor center in order to get some more history / information as I did. This castle was built for defense and you can tell. Ontop of bedrock, many different gates to enter, thick walls, cliffside and with water surrounding made it almost * impenetrable! Paid parking available nearby.

We visited Conwy Castle on a beautifully warm sunny September day whilst staying on holiday in one of the cottages right next to it! It got so warm I had to go back and get changed in to a dress from jeans before going in! We had been before years ago; it’s still one of the most beautiful castles you’ve ever seen! Definitely one of the best preserved after all these years too! 💛 The castle itself was stunning and so fun to look around! 🏰 You can go up in the towers and walk around the top! We don’t go all the way to the top in some as it was so high and we were a bit scared! The cottage we stayed in had some of the castle wall behind it but not the part you could walk along so that was a nice view too! There is even the stocks still there and a big chair to take photos in! The views of the sea are absolutely breathtaking! 🌊💙🩵 You can look over the suspension bridge and the town too! 🌁 It’s definitely worth a trip to if you’re in Conwy! You won’t be disappointed! 😆 The gift shop has a great selection too and price to get in isn’t too bad as there’s so much to look around at! It was very busy even on a September weekday!

An absolute must-visit! Conwy Castle is breathtaking from the moment you see it. The views from the towers are stunning – you get a full panoramic of the town, the estuary, and even the mountains in the distance. It’s like stepping back in time. The architecture is incredibly well-preserved, and there’s plenty of space to explore without feeling rushed. The walk along the castle walls is a real highlight. It’s perfect for history lovers, families, or anyone who enjoys a bit of adventure with their sightseeing. The staff are friendly and helpful, and there’s lots of information available about the castle’s history. Well worth the entrance fee. Just make sure to wear comfy shoes – there are a lot of steps! Would definitely recommend it if you’re visiting North Wales. Plenty car parks (pay and display) near by

A very interesting castle or ruin, like all of Edward I's. Even more impressive with the Conwy Suspension Bridge. The castle is definitely worth a visit. However, the parking situation is terrible, especially if you want to see the town. There is a free car park a little way outside, about a 5-minute walk away, during the week. That's great because you can then see the town without being under time pressure.

An amazing and imposing castle with the walls surrounding the town. It’s free to go up and walk around sections of the wall (if you have a head for heights) and enjoy the views. Lovely visitor centre with great shop and free to use toilets (unlike the tourist information centre across the road!). Didn’t have time to go into castle but certainly will try to get back for a visit sometime.

Fascinating castle and history, cafe and shop. Easy parking next to the castle. Some high towers with narrow stairway. Great views across the harbour and sea. Interesting place to visit. We enjoyed our visit.

You cannot walk around the complete walls, as a section was closed off (no signs explaining for how long) but what you can walk is very impressive. We did initially find it difficult to find a staircase that led to an open section of the wall (we eventually found the entrance just off the train station platform) but the persistence was rewarded by an interesting walk with lots of impressive views of the town, castle and estuary. Some sections are the walls are surprisingly on the steep side. Free to visit, if open.

One of the best town wall walk we have done. The signs around town show you where the entrances are, behind the train station, far end of town etc. The views of town, castle and county side are fabulous especially as the walk is free.

I enjoyed walking along the town walls. It was a bit hard to find the second section considering you need to cross over to the other side of the train station to get there and the third section was currently closed off which was a bit disappointing. Regardless, I still loved my walk along the walls and took in the incredible views of Conwy and beyond.

We really enjoyed our walk on the town walls. We don’t do the whole thing on account of the heat the day we were visiting. The walls were easy to enter - the parking lot by the castle has the entrance to the walls - so it made it easy for us to do both things from a single parking spot. The views of the town and castle are great from up on the walls. On a cooler day we definitely would have walked as much of the wall as was available. A must do in Conwy. Note: this activity is not accessible. Access to the wall requires stairs and is on uneven surfaces.

Brilliant to walk around and check out the views around Conwy. My kids loved it too. I loved the sloped bits as I thought it was all flat.

Conway Town Walls is free Entrance nice View

Conwy is a lovely town with the Castle and the walls. You can walk the walks with ease and also part of the bridge can be accessed for free. Plenty of little cafes to have a bite to eat and drink… and several fish and chips to boot. A must visit for all visitors!

The pier was unfortunately closed when we visited, and honestly, it looked a bit worse for wear—definitely in need of some TLC. That said, it still has a certain charm, and we ended up getting some really great photos with the moody clouds and seaside backdrop. You can see how iconic it used to be, and hopefully will be again. Even though we couldn’t walk it, the surrounding promenade and views still made it a worthwhile stop.

Lovely traditional pier. In better condition than many piers and has all the stalls still in place. Tried the lovely prawns and chips in the past all have been great. Used to call it death pier with all benches and dead flowers. Didn't like that too much seemed a little depressing. Its cleaned this up a little removing dead flowers meaning a nicer experience. The end of the pier is great with bar and views to die for.

It’s a typical pier experience, with arcade games, Ferris wheel, rides, and fried foods. And of course an abundance of seagulls. It still has all the summer beach energy one comes to look for at the pier. Well connected to the promenade and neighbouring beach. Not a lot of places to sit in the pier itself - more for walking.

me and my friend we went with a full bus of so many people which includes our family , family friends and children and some unknown persons as well , bcoz its a charity trip for gaza and that trip help them to provide important stuff. so about the trip i can say it was so wonderful, so enjoyable with so much fun , the weather was perfect , the beach vibe is perfect and off-course the food was perfect. so i can say the overall trip was perfect.❤️🤗

Great pier, despite the weather being slightly dodgy. Good range of places to buy some tourists stuff and cafes. Love a pier

Little bit disappointed by the offerings of entertainment on the pier it felt like it could have had more shops and more things to do along the way to the end. Although the bar and cafe at the were well with a trip to. The views from the pier were stunning and I enjoyed sitting outside with a drink watching the ships and windmills. More shops along the peri would be much better.

What a super pier. Not all the rides were open (we were there early June) though you do get a sense of the potential. Your normal assortment of expected shops (food and drink) though also some more interesting (?) shops (bath bombs). The pier is quite long and you to get expansive views of the Promenade and a much better look at the offshore wind farm. We had a great time.
