Great walk with some of the most amazing views. The path is quite hilly so it can be difficult in some places but other than that this is a great thing to do if you in the area.

Beautiful castle to visit on a sunny day. Very informative and interesting to walk around. There were tours and shows going on around the grounds. Food and drink was cheaper than we expected! The gift shop is worth a visit too and you can find out the origins of your surname.

With going to Oakwood I heard horror stories of the rides, they were wrong. The two thrill rides are immense, there are no queues what so ever, I rode Megafobia 9 times in 4 hours and what a ride. There are some down sides though, expensive tickets and no new rides. But the customer service is far better than any Merlin attention and the safety is perfect with seatbelts and lap bars on rides. I would definitely come back again.

Such a lovely way to spend an afternoon. Having just arrived in Pembroke and driving towards Swansea, I spotted the sign on a roundabout and thought 'why not!' So my mum and I decided to take a detour and had such a wonderful experience ☺️ Beautifully maintained and so well laid out. Around every turn was another gorgeous animal or attraction. There was a great variety of animals and all were clearly well cared for. The gift shop and food options were also a lovely treat and reasonably priced

Absolutely beautiful country park. Only visited to attend a street food festival so cannot comment on camping or other activities. What I can say is that I'd recommend it to anyone who loves camping. It's a huge beautiful country park. Had an amazing day. Will be returning to camp so will be able to comment then. We'll worth a visit 👌

A lovely beach that welcomes dogs over the winter months. A car park and cafe are close by. There is a RNLI shop by the beach as well. I would expect during the summer it would be tricky to park on a sunny day. It was getting busy by mid morning on a sunny February day when we visited. There are toilets on site too. You will need cash for the parking machine as the pay machine didn't accept card only pay by phone but signal was poor. Only a donation suggestion in the winter months for parking though which is a good idea, making it more accessible for people.

One the most spectacular sheltered beaches on the Welsh coastal path , just incredible.

A beautiful day spent here. Gorgeous gardens, ideal for a lovely walk and explore the gardens. A lovely tropical house you can spend time enjoying more plants from hotter countries. Thoroughly enjoyed it, plenty of benches to sit and admire everything. So many butterflies and bees to see getting the nectar. If you want a lovely lunch, go the the restaurant here, delicious food and hot and cold drinks. Once you visited you can come back again within seven days with your ticket for free entry.

Beautiful woodlands and you're rewarded with the castle ruins at the top. Clear skies on the day we visited so you could see for miles. Visited the National Trust House while there and took a walk around the deer park also. Worth a visit all round!

Almost missed this treasure on our trip to Llandovery. Easy to get to on the A482, well signposted and owned by the National Trust - a membership would be a good idea! The site itself is HUGE, loads of walks and views to take in! The main opencast site has several buildings with factual signs dotted everywhere The winding room with the shaft cage is especially interesting! We attended both mine tours, Victorian and Roman. I simply cannot express how incredible our guides were. Not only are they hilarious and informative, but they are also obviously extremely dedicated to the history of the site itself. I highly recommend this as a day out, especially with children - the gold panning was also very fun! Big shout out to our tour guides Nevile and Ed! - side note - if it's your birthday (or in my case the day before) and you do the Victorian tour, Nevile will let you blow out the candle and make the other tourers sing Happy Birthday to you in the dark! Made my day!

Visited on Thursday, 04th September 2025. Bought a return ticket to Devils Bridge on a rainy day. I was staying in town and took a short trip across town to the Vale of Rheidol Railway Station in Aberystwyth. My train ticket inc access to the new Engine Shed, but my wife, who wasn't going on the train, had to pay £5 for Engine Shed access only, which was fair enough IMO. Car parking is chargeable at the end of your journey, and there was plenty of it at the station. The VoR station is about 300 yards from the mainline station if you're coming by train. The ticket office encompasses a well-stocked shop inc a model train running above your head around the ticket office/shop, and you have to pick up a paper ticket even if you have purchased your ticket online. Don't lose this as the guard wants to see and clip it before the start and return journeys.. There is also a café I didn't go to, but the engine shed is brilliant inc the lovely block flooring, smell as well as the Southern Railway front transported from London. The platforms provide views of the carriage and engine sheds. The whole site is in great condition and has obviously had a lot of money spent on it. The toilets are magnificent. My service was at 12:15, and I witnessed the engine being prepped in advance. It was raining, but this made the engine appear even more magnificent. I, along with a few hardy souls, chose the open carriages behind the loco, which I would recommend on the journey to Devils Bridge and stay in the same for the return journey, so you get both experiences, i.e. front and back of the train. The journey itself was lovely and provided stunning views, and being near the engine, you get to hear the effort on the way to Devils Bridge (we pretty much coast on the journey back down). a little shop/ticket office with refreshments at Devils Bridge as well as toilets, but not much else, but you can walk to the nearby 3 Bridges walks, though I recommend you stick to the short walk if you want to get back on the return journey rather than wait for the one 3 hours later. Reasonable price for a great day out.

A beautiful place to visit. The three bridges are absolutely fascinating, and the waterfalls and gorge are spectacular. You start at the entrance and there is a circular route to follow round. There are lots of steep steps both down and up, so a certain level of fitness is required. But these are part of the fun and lead to some great viewpoints. You definitely need good footwear. These steps must get slippery in rain and the autumn. A lovely place to spend and hour or so, especially if you come by the steam train and enjoy the cafe.

The Elan Valley Reservoirs are a breathtaking destination for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts. The scenery here is stunning, with rolling hills, lush forests, and crystal-clear water stretching as far as the eye can see. Whether you’re driving through, hiking, cycling, or just taking a leisurely walk, the views are nothing short of spectacular. There are plenty of well-marked trails to explore, ranging from easy walks to more challenging hikes, all offering picturesque views of the reservoirs and surrounding landscape. The dams are engineering marvels, and the history behind them adds another layer of interest to your visit. There’s a visitor center that provides helpful information about the area’s history, wildlife, and the construction of the dams. This is a peaceful place to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life, with plenty of opportunities to relax by the water, have a picnic, or simply take in the natural beauty. It’s also a fantastic spot for photographers – you’ll want to bring your camera because every angle offers a postcard-worthy view. The area is well-maintained, and the facilities are good, though it’s quite remote, so it’s best to be prepared with supplies if you’re planning a longer visit. If you’re looking for a serene, scenic getaway in the heart of Wales, Elan Valley is absolutely worth the trip. Highly recommended for anyone who loves nature and the great outdoors!

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.

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.

My wife and I visited during our holiday in the area. It is a fantastic place. To start with, the staff gave us a warm welcome and explained where everything was. The facilities are spot on and there was a nice choice of refreshments. Then when it came to feeding time for the red kites, it was an amazing site to see. Great job all round and I applaud them for what they do there

Came here with a group of 5 children aged 5-14. The tour itself was great, lots to entertain the children and the underground boat was great. Spooky/dark enough to keep the teenagers engaged and lots of different things happening at each stopping point. My 5 year old flipping loved it! We had a 10:40 tour and it was very quiet, not sure if we were the first group going out but we didn't have to wait at all, but on our way back we met two groups who were waiting at various points, so might be worth trying to get there early. The craft centre where thr Labyrinth is situated is also great, lots of lovely independent shops, as well as a cafe and play park. Would definitely come back.

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.

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

We attended a trip to puffin island and everything was fab! The staff in the shop/office were so so lovely and friendly, as were the skippers. Who were not only knowledgeable and struck the right mix of education and adrenaline based fun but also were really attentive. The health and safety protocols were spot on, they checked everyone was happy and confident throughout and even gave me a jacket to ensure I stayed warm. Highly recommend.

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!

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

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!

Beautiful waterfall with its very own fairy Bridge. Parking is really close has a set price of £5 per car. Very short walk to the falls you can actually sit out side the cafe and get a lovely view of the falls. There are toilets on site. Staff in the cafe were really nice and attentive. You can climb up to the top of the falls its around a 30 minute trek I'm led to believe from the top you can see a lovely view of the valley. You need to be careful driving down to the falls as its only a 1 track lane but there are places you can pass as parts of the road are wider.

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!

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!

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!
