A470This place is a MUST visit. 3,000 year old mines that you actually get to walk through. Everyone I have taken there has really enjoyed the underground experience. Head for the Great Orme in Llandudno and its sign-posted.

Sightseeing
If you are going to visit Snowdon make sure you book your parking space. Its a new thing as there are so many visitors now. Its really worth the visit or just to drive around these mountains. Spectacular scenery in every direction. Best thing to do is take a picnic.... theres lots of places to stop and eat at the side of the road or by a lake. If you want to go to top of Snowdon maybe take the train. Booking the train in advance is essential.

The views are fantastic and it’s a very short walk from a small car park.... which is just 10 minutes drive from the house. Take a picnic as you will want to stay up there for ages. The walk is suitable for all ages.

If you are a strong walker you could walk all the way to this lake from our front door. If your not then you can go part way in your car. If you enjoy the mountains then do this walk. Take a picnic too. Suitable for all ages... although you just might end up carrying the smaller children on your shoulders lol

Lake Crafnant is just 20 minutes drive away. Once you have parked you can take a gentle walk (about 90 minutes), around the lake and in summer finish the day in the lakeside cafe. The tea and cakes are delicious! If you fancy a boat ride or some fishing you can hire a row boat out if you like. Suitable for all ages.

One of my favorite places for breakfast and lunch. It may be a garden centre but it’s where the locals go for breakfast and lunch. Really friendly people and importantly... great good value food. You can take the children too.

In the centre of Conwy this is another great place to eat. Not so child friendly thou. If you can leave the kids with a "sitter" then you will enjoy the food here. Breakfast, dinner or evening meal, but remember to book. Before you eat, explore the harbour and castle.

Castles of Wales
An epic castle for the whole family to explore.
Conwy castle is one of the best I have ever visited. Lots of stairs to climb up to the towers, with great views of the town.... and rooms to explore with exibits that tell the castle story. The kids will love it and so will the adults. You may well spend a few hours in here. Make sure you also walk the town wall.
