Zip World
A great fun day out. Zip World includes a pair of zip lines, a mile long, where riders can exceed 100mph, 500ft high and experience the nearest thing to flying. The newest member to Zip World, Titan, opened June 2014 at Llechwedd Slate Caverns. This is the first 4 person zip line in Europe and the combination of Velocity and Titan makes North Wales the zip line capital of the world.
The famous “Bounce Below” is part of Zip World. Set within a historic disused slate cavern, installed with massive bouncy nets to jump around in, unlike anything seen before.
Trefriw Woollen Mills
A trip back in time. Traditional Welsh bedspreads and tweeds are manufactured from the raw wool. Most of the textile machinery is over 50 years old and is powered by electricity generated by vintage turbines.
Conwy Castle
A brute of a fortress. Caernarfon Castle’s pumped-up appearance is unashamedly muscle-bound and intimidating. Picking a fight with this massive structure would have been a daunting prospect. By throwing his weight around in stone, King Edward I created what is surely one of the most impressive of Wales’s castles. Worthy of World Heritage status no less!
Llechwedd Slate Caverns of Blaenau Ffestiniog
Is part of a living, working slate mine still being worked to this day by Greaves Welsh Slate – since 1836.
They offer 2 unique underground tours that take you deep underground to explore the world of the Victorian slate miner. The temperature underground is an ambient 54F making the caverns ideal for a family day out – come rain or shine.

Snowdon Paths and Sherpa Bus Service
Snowdon’s so big and so varied in terrain that it would be a real shame to walk up and down the same path in a day! The Snowdon Sherpa bus network is your passport to total freedom. Why not hike up one path and come down another? Or take the bus from your accommodation and walk back? It’s easy with the Sherpa service.
The Snowdon Sherpa shuttles around the base of Snowdon connecting all 6 main footpaths and the surrounding villages.
Welsh Mountain Zoo
