| Attractions and Things to Do in North Wales |
|
Bangor-on-Dee Racecourse
There's a warm welcome at Bangor-on-Dee Races throughout the year. Set in glorious countryside beside the River Dee this perfect country course provides exciting racing with top trainers and jockeys at every meeting. |
|
Bodnant Garden
The garden at Bodnant is one of the finest in the world. It is situated above the River Conwy on ground sloping to the south-west and looks across the valley towards the Snowdonia range. |
|
Chirk Castle
Few places welcome visitors with a "bloody" hand, but the Myddelton family coat-of-arms above the elaborate gates does indeed incorporate just such a symbol. |
|
Conwy Castle
This gritty dark-stoned fortress has the rare ability to evoke an authentic medieval atmosphere. Conceived and created in just four years, Conwy Castle remains one of the outstanding achievements of medieval military architecture. |
|
Denbigh Castle
The striking ruins of Denbigh Castle, crowning a steep hill above the town, enjoy commanding views of the pastoral Vale of Clwyd and the round backed hills of the Clwydian Range. |
|
Dolwyddelan Castle
In a land of castles, Dolwyddelan stands apart not as a stronghold erected by Norman or English forces but as a fortress of the native Welsh princes. |
|
Erddig Hall, Gardens & Country Park
Erddig is a very special place. It is a unique family home that has captured the way of life of a bustling household community during the early years of this century. |
|
Greenacres Animal Park
Set in 80 acres of Welsh Borderland, the Animal Park creates a friendly, relaxing atmosphere for the whole family |
|
Llangollen Motor Museum
See the cars that Grandad used to drive. |
|
Llangollen Railway
Part of the Ruabon to Barmouth line, the Railway closed to passenger traffic in 1965, and to goods in 1968. The track and signalling were removed the following month, and for seven years the buildings and trackbed were left at the mercy of nature. |
|
Llyn Brenig Reservoir and Visitor Centre
Llyn Brenig Reservoir and Visitor Centre is set in 920 acres of moorland and forest in the heart of the Denbigh Moors, just 35 miles from Wrexham and 38 miles from Bangor. |
|
Plas Mawr Elizabethan Town House
Plas Mawr is possibly the best preserved Elizabethan townhouse in Great Britain. It was built by Robert Wynn between 1576 and 1585. |
|
Portmeirion Village
This unique village is set on its own private peninsula on the southern shores of Snowdonia. It was created by Welsh architect Clough Williams-Ellis (1883-1978) to demonstrate how a naturally beautiful place could be developed without spoiling it. |
|
Rhuddlan Castle
Rhuddlan may not be as well known as some of the north Wales castles, yet it shares much in common with its illustrious neighbours Caernarfon and Conwy. |
|
Rug Chapel and Llangar Church
These delightful religious sites are located close together in beautiful countryside just west of Corwen. Rug is a rare example of a little-altered private 17th century chapel. Llangar Church is even older than Rug. |
|
Valle Crucis Abbey
The evocative ruins of Valle Crucis lie in green fields beneath Llangollen's steep-sided mountains. In medieval times, this was a remote spot (ideal for the austere Cistercian monks, who deliberately sought out wild and lonely places). |
