GreenWood Forest Park is a rather unlikely find in the North Wales countryside. It's an eco-theme…read morepark which tries to show that you can have fun without using much power (other than that which you provide yourself). It's NOT a park that pushes the green message at you at every opportunity and this I like. It's that fact that it's understated that makes you think about it. Home to Europe's largest Green roller coaster this place is well worth a visit. The coaster itself works alomg similar principles to the mines, power is generated by people being carried down as the coaster is lifted back up to the start. The coaster then runs down and the next group of people can be taken. Other self-powered rides include a boat ride (where you paddle/pull yourself along with ropes) and a great toboggan run. The other major attraction is the bare-foot walk where you can get back to nature via a barefoot walk through various types of ground including sand, cobbles, mud, water and straw. Immense fun and strangely refreshing. Wash facilities are provided (cold!). Toilets are clean and there is a cafe offering good value basic meals. Wait times were not too bad. I liked the fact that this was a simple park and suited to children from toddlers to about 13 years old. I suspect the optimum age range is about 3-8 years. Unlike the traditional theme parkes queues are minimal (no more than a 2 minute wait for anything) despite our visit being on a May bank Holiday weekend in bright sunshine! Please note - do as the website suggests and if you are using a sat nav start to ignore it when you see the brown tourist signs - if you don't then you end up going through some very steep and narrow roads that are not suited to tourist traffic. It will take about 5 minutes more if you follow the tourist signs but you'll get there in one piece! Recommended.

Even though I came during the summer we after we started coming out of lockdown and I'm sure I…read moredidn't see this place in it's full glory - I still loved it! Most everything was closed, but I still took a lovely walk down to the end of the pier and was awed by the views down the entire length of the pier. It was quite breathtaking. Though I don't live that close, I would love to come back here one day so I can see it and experience it as it was meant to - with the shops open and ice cream in hand.

The walks through the trees is so tranquil. To take in deep breaths of fresh sea air from the sea and Beddmanarch Bay. The wildlife is amazing. Red squirrels play on the high branches and if your lucky enough they will come down to eat the nuts left on the woodland floor. Badgers have their hidden sets in amongst the trees. Ducks float noisily on the three large ponds within the woods and gather up on the shore greedily after bread left by visitors. Woodpeckers let you know they are nesting, playing their tunes banging their beaks on the tree trunks. Wild birds sing their songs of freedom. Lie back close your eyes and enjoy. It's all free! Plenty of parking space a lovely historical toll house cafe. Many historical monuments lay inside waiting to be found. A wild meadow that is full of flowers that attracts hundreds of colourful butterflies all surrounded by the ocean and a spectacular white sandy beach. Penrhos Nature Reserve Holyhead should not be missed. It's truly heaven on Earth. This 200 acre Nature Reserve is all an Area of outstanding natural beauty and quite rightly so the views are unforgettable. BUT make your visit soon as tragically there is a development company Land & Lakes who want to fell most of the trees and build 500 Lodges on this Welsh coastline. The needless destruction of this nature reserve will be a very sad day indeed. We should be protecting green spaces for future generations not tearing them down. Visit and see the outstanding beauty in all seasons for yourself.

This is my absolute favourite place to visit. Parc Padarn is a country park that consists of a…read moremassive lake surrounded by mountains, which are on the site of a former slate quarry. The Snowdon railway begins from inside Parc Padarn, and there is a good selection of amenities for its many visitors: 2 cafes are near the railway inside the park, with 2 more located just on the outside (1 is in the Electric Mountain visitor centre), toilets are available in the park also, and there is a scattering of shops such as gift shops, shops selling walking clothes, a shop selling hand-made things from slate such as door plates. There's a lot to do for everyone at Parc Padarn. There are 5 official walkways, which are colour-coded and vary in difficulty from a short flat walk accessible to wheelchair users, to a more advanced 5 mile walk around the lake with some steep climbs. You're advised not to stray from the walkways. On the lake there's opportunities to scuba dive, sail a dinghy or kayak, or to sail a remote control boat. There's a few childrens' play areas which are always fairly busy and look well-equipped, and there's a tree top adenture activitiy. In the main entrence to Parc Padarn there's a museum, which is free to enter, with several shows and displays of the old slate quarry workings, as well as a few old-fashioned houses to peek into. I love going here and probably visit a couple of times a week, even throughout the winter.

She was being sarcastic if you hadn't guessed. Las Vegas Amusements looks tired and relic-like from the outside and not much is different on the inside. The floor is sticky, wet and smells of wee but hey, doesn't most of the British seaside? We only went in to play with the two pence machines and that is all we did, mainly because it was so damn hot we wilted within 10 minutes.
