For fans of the French Riviera, it's worth visiting and exploring. For us, it's a stopover before we discover one of the most beautiful beaches in this part of Wales, and perhaps even the island.

One of our highlights of our trip to the UK. Highly recommend hiking from Erin's Tower along coast down to South Stack lighthouse. We were fortunate to be able to climb to the top of the lighthouse as well!

Lovely gallery predominantly featuring local artists and crafts. All based in a beautiful house with a great history, and a cafe that is both an engineering and artistic wonder. Definitely worth a visit with stunning views over the bay on a clear day.

Beautiful location, easy to access beach, mountains and shopping. Great facilities, well maintained. Good range of on-site catering. Staff were friendly and helpful, especially in looking after one of our group with additional needs. Could not recommend highly enough. On a par with the best French campsites, for those who have camped abroad.

What an amazing day we had at Black Rock Sands in Wales! This place is a hidden gem – wide open skies, golden sands, and the thrill of something you don’t get to do every day… driving right onto the beach! There’s something so freeing and fun about parking up just steps from the sea. We rolled down the windows, let the fresh coastal breeze in, and spent the day soaking up the sun, walking along the vast shoreline, and enjoying the stunning views of the Welsh coast. The beach stretches on and on – perfect for peaceful strolls, spontaneous picnics, or just relaxing and watching the waves. But the real highlight? Driving on the beach. It was an absolute joy – smooth, easy, and such a unique experience. Whether you’re cruising slowly along the sand or just pulling up for a scenic stop, it adds a whole new level of adventure to a beach day. Clean, spacious, and wonderfully unspoiled, Black Rock Sands is ideal for families, couples, or solo explorers looking for something special. We left feeling relaxed, refreshed, and already planning our next visit. Highly recommend for anyone visiting North Wales – don’t miss this incredible spot!

Visited today with family and had a fantastic time! Having visited a number of castles over the years, I was really impressed with how well kept the entire castle was without losing it's history. It is an immense place to explore with loads of intact towers and ramparts to explore and get unbelievable views over the town. The entry fee is very reasonable and they offer a range of discounts including free carer tickets and blue light discount. Inside the ground is uneven which is to be expected but efforts have been made to create ramps where possible to make it slightly wheelchair accessible. Inside the grounds you will also find a cafe and toilets. I do want to make a special mention of the Changing Places disabled toilet. The fact that there is a place that you can take any disabled person and easily change them is amazing and deserves a special mention. The fact that you have a full size adult changing bed with hoist is a fantastic facility to have. The castle doesn't have dedicated parking however there is a pay and display car park right next to the castle so it might as well be considered dedicated parking.

Beach is absolutely stunning and very long.. we had a late walk and the waves were crashing against the wall and yes like children we decided to get soaked.. I've never had so much fun, and we were soaking but good memories.

Incredible place. Other worldly. Beautiful colours. Unfortunately it was extremely windy and chucking down when we visited, otherwise I would have sat for ages.

Well maintained bridge. There is a donation point at the Barmouth side in the form of a Toll Troll. Longer than we expected, but we were treated to a migration, possibly, of large jellyfish. Great views all round of both the bay and sea. Will definately visit again when back in Barmouth!

This trip was my daughter’s Christmas present to me and what an incredible experience it was. We had quite a journey from north Herefordshire and it was worth every mile. We parked in their main carpark, where we had our lunch beside a small reservoir. It is a pay and display carpark and a five minute walk to the railway station. We arrived and after collecting our tickets, we walked onto the platform and waited for our train to arrive. A loco was filling up with water and another was offering footplate rides. Our train arrived and we were guided to our carriage. We would be travelling in First Class behind the engine, Merddin Emyrs, the Mountain Spirit, a double engined locomotive and about 140 years old, and still puffing along nicely. We watched as the locomotive was coupled to our carriage and soon we were on our way. Our amazing journey starts crossing along a harbour wall known as The Cob, and past Boston Lodge, where the locos go at the end of their busy schedules. From here, we travelled across fields before beginning the the long and picturesque journey to Blaneau Ffestiniog. We travelling past a few stations through very narrow cuttings, with slated sides, through tunnels and around the "Great Deviation", believed to be the only one in Britain. It took 6 years to build, by volunteers and raises the line 35ft in a circle, a real feat of engineering. We eventually arrived at Blaneau Station where the main line meets the Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland Railway. Both services terminate here. A chance to get out, stretch our legs, take more photos of the slate mountains, grab a snack as the engine was moved to the other end of the train for the journey back to Porthmadog. Thankfully, we had taken plenty of photos on our outward journey because it came to a halt at the next station. As we waited for the next train, Linda was bringing the last train up to Blaneau. She arrived opposite us and departed and still we waited. Unfortunately we could see smoke across the valley from us and we wondered if it might be a fire. Soon the Train Manager advised us that, due to a potentially large line side fire, our return journey was being turned around. We returned to Blaneau where buses met us to take us all back to Porthmadog. Everyone was in good spirits and totally understanding. The drive back took about 20 minutes, where as the train took over an hour, allowing for water stops enroute. Yes, we were a little disappointed but everyone was safe and we all enjoyed the experience. We shall look forward to travelling from Caernarvon to Porthmadog, through the western fringes of Snowdonia. We received the very best of treatment and support from all the staff at the railway. The bus drivers were amusing and helpful, considering the circumstances.

Well worth a visit. Great for the little ones. Lots to do and something a bit different. It would be nice if the disabled parking was monitored though, 3 cars out of about 35 had disabled badges, we had to end up in the main car park with our disabled daughter. Otherwise good value for money for a family.

Gorgeous, clean beach. Dog-friendly. Plenty of room for everyone. Clean waters. Rock pools located on the right side. Small pockets of water for kids to paddle. Easy access from parking lot.

Scenic flat walk. We parked up at Morfa Mawddach (train station toilet/ car park). There is only one blue badge bay and a couple of electric charge points. It's a small car park! The toilets have always been clean whenever we've parked here, accessible toilet is a radar key and to the rear of the building. Seems to be a popular meet-up point for cyclists. We've done this walk at varying distances. It's an easy graded ground, a bit sloped in a couple of places, but nothing major. There are plenty of places to stop and rest along the trail, picnic benches are dotted about. It's good for bird spotting as well. There is a car park with accessible toilets at Penmaenpool where you can also cross the toll bridge for a pound in the car or by foot. You could also just enjoy a drink or a meal at George III.

The place is very interesting. Everyone is very friendly and welcoming, blacksmith, slate trimmer, guides, shop team all great. It's closing in a couple of weeks for a refurbishment. I'm sure it'll be even better when it reopens. Shop on site sells the usual attraction goodies, cafe sells cafe stuff. Little kids play area, some quarry cottages all dressed up inside. Lots of original artifacts, machines & history. Great place, get along and enjoy it.

An amazing setting. Went up in May on the train then walked up the path. Looked over at Clogwyn D’ur Arddhu where I’ve climbed many times. Fabulous

I've been in the blue ridge mountains the rocky mountains and the high searas. But these mountains and road ways are like nothing I have ever seen it's just beautifully majestic, passing through all the little pictures villages and cottages takes u back to another time and place. I could spend weeks maybe the rest of my life there it's just beautifully beyond words I wish every one could get a chance to see

A tranquil and quiet area to visit, the area has a small £1 admission fee via a gate, cash only in the box, once down there it can be very slippery so watch your step. Could have stayed there for hours listening to the water.

What an experience this place is. It isn't cheap and it's frustrating that you have to pay a booking fee and also parking fees in the middle of nowhere! However, those 2 niggles aside, it is a stunning place in a forest with various things to do. We only went to do the forest coaster and it was just amazing! There are other activities to do such as tree tops, big swing and there is a cafe for food. There is also a small gift shop and toilets so you can attend without any worries! We took our own food so unsure what the cafe is like... Staff are also very pleasant and happy to help with anything. In terms of disabled access, there are designated parking spaces and everything is flat but, it is a forest on a hill so there is a slight incline in places plus the ground would be difficult for wheelchairs. If you have an electric vehicle, there are charging ports and spaces on the left as you enter :) Id definitely return! Enjoy!

Staff / Volunteers are really friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating; The cafe serves tasty snacks and drinks;The trains and carriages are cute; And the scenery is stupendous! We had a fantastic day here as did many other people of all ages. Very dog-friendly throughout (everyone was responsible with them) & the dogs also clearly enjoyed it too. A great family day out!

This is a great place to go and spend 2 - 3 hours just roaming around and admiring the natural beauty of the place. We were in Wales on a driving trip and drove up to the summit in our own car. It's an easy drive up and back and there is plenty of parking space available at the summit. You can walk around the place and get a great 270 degree view of the bay. Also, you can see a very large windmills farm in the sea!

We visited Conwy Castle on a Sunday in autumn, and it was such a wonderful experience! I’m not sure how it looks in other seasons, but in late October and early November, the view from the top of the castle is absolutely breathtaking. The trees around the town are painted in so many beautiful autumn colours — it’s truly a spectacular sight from above! The castle itself is very well preserved and tidy. We climbed up one of the towers with our 10-year-old son — and it was a big moment for him because he’s afraid of heights. It actually turned into a great way for him to face his fear! If you visit with kids, I’d recommend being extra careful when going up the stone stairs and pathways — they’re uneven and can be a bit tricky. But it’s definitely worth it. We had such a lovely and memorable weekend. The ticket line was short, everything was smooth, and we left impressed and happy. The highlight for me was definitely the view from the top — absolutely stunning, especially with the autumn colours. A place worth visiting for sure!

Llandudno Pier is a quintessential and wonderful seaside destination in beautiful North Wales. The panoramic views from the pier are stunning in every direction. I visited on a typically British day—windy and wet—yet I still thoroughly enjoyed every moment. There's a certain charm in braving the elements here, and it's a testament to the pier's appeal that it remains enjoyable regardless of the weather.

Llandudno is a beautiful hidden gem in North Wales. It boasts a stunning, spacious seafront promenade and a charming pier—perfect for a peaceful stroll. The town is well maintained and has a lovely, welcoming vibe. For the best experience, try booking a sea-facing B&B. Not only will you enjoy breathtaking views, but it’s also a cost-effective option. A must-visit destination if you’re in the area!

Parked at the watersports area. Paid £5 to launch our own SUP for the day. Excellent scenery, very clean lake and best paddle boarding in the area.

Excellent service, lots of staff putting on loads of activities throughout the day and shows at night. Caters for the older generation so relax and take your time as no one moves quickly. We opted for a three night weekend stay, booked a Royal room with extra space and were very pleased with room 603, gorgeous views. Restaurant was busy but plenty of staff kept it flowing nicely, food was good with loads of choice. Recommend you book the wine option for dinner on line at the point of booking. Free audio guided tour is a must, enjoy the quizzes, try loads of activities and use the spa.

Family of 4 is £58, not bad price. The cafe is clean, food was tasty and staff were friendly. Came on a wet day so didn't see the seal show, but walking through the tunnel with the fish over you was the best part. Lovely day out and definitely go back.

Lovely Shops and Beautiful Items, Quirky Gifts. Cafe - nice and clean, prices are a bit crazy for what you get, but its nice food, and the cakes are all homemade, and they are lush. The garden centre was closed when I went but the flowers all looked good, not dead!! Staff are friendly in the areas I went to!
