Nic & Caroline (Owners of Emlyns Coppice) ride the Fforest coaster.

As well as having the 100mph zipline, "Velocity 2" at the Penrhyn Quarry site, Zipworld Fforest boasts the Fforest coaster, Treetop Nets, Zip safari and a lot more.

Or try the Slate Caverns at Blaenau Ffestiniog for underground adventures.

Yr wyddfa/Snowdon in winter

Only a 50 min drive from our doorstep, Eryri/Snowdonia national park offers a wide variety of walks, hikes, and outdoor pursuits.

​

Summer or winter, there's always something to see and do in the adventure capital of Wales.

​

​

There are many routes available right from our doorstep as we sit right on National Cycle Route 5, plus there are many further byways to get right into the heart of the countryside.

So either bring a bike or rent one from near Rhyl Harbour to really get about.

Cycling at Llyn Brenig

What North Wales holiday would be complete without a trip to the beach? Our local coastline offers Sand dunes, a nature reserve, and miles of golden sandy beach from Talacre to Prestatyn and beyond.

See our local walks section for a walking route to the beach.

Things to see & do
Grych Castle - home of I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here 2020

To think of Wales is to think of castles, and our little slice of heaven has its own fair share. From traditional medieval fortresses such as Conwy Castle and Rhuddlan Castle to the more elegant example of Gwrych Castle, the home of 2020's I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here.

Californian Sealion at Colwyn Bay Mountain Zoo

Welsh Mountain Zoo & much more!

Half an hour from our doors, you'll find yourself at the Welsh Mountain Zoo in Colwyn bay, 37 acres of lush mountain side, housing over 140 species.​

Or try Llandudno and the Great Orme with its cable hauled tramway, or one of hundreds of other attractions across the North coast area 

​

​

​

Obviously with the sea so close, fishing is readily available, but if specimen fishing is more your thing, then Gyrn Castle, just 5 minutes up the road is ideal.

This exclusive fishery benefits from really fantastic fishing from five designated pegs on the top lake. The lakes have a variety of depths ranging from 2ft to 10ft with a stream running in one end and a dam at the other.

Fancy something a bit more exciting?

Maybe kite surfing, or the UK's favourite new sport, paddleboarding could be for you?

PKS watersports, based in Rhyl (7 miles away) offer lessons in both Kite surfing and stand up paddleboarding, and if you really get into it, also offer a range of watersports equipment for sale.
