Nearby attractions and activities:
Ruthin
In addition to its attractive architecture and mediaeval street patterns, Ruthin (pictured right - photo © Wales Tourist Board) has a wide range of quality, specialist shops, plenty of places to eat and drink, and the Ruthin Craft Centre. With Ruthin placed at the foot of the Clwydian Range, which is a designated "Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty", the visitor is never far from a pretty walk or a magnificent view. Annual events include the Ruthin Festival (a week-long annual music festival) and the Ruthin Flower Show (large carnival parade, classic & vintage cars and motorbikes, craft and other stalls, Shire Horses and Shetland Ponies, visiting Queens, Majorettes, celebrity guests and the large horticultural show). Ruthin Gaol was built in 1775 and has recently been redeveloped and restored as a visitor attraction and as a home for the County Archives at a cost of over £1 million.
Snowdon
At 3560ft (1085m) Snowdon is the tallest mountain in Wales. The Snowdon Mountain Railway was built in 1896 and can take you to within 66ft of the summit, or you can walk up if you wish (if you have enough time, are fit enough, and are suitably equipped!). Weather permitting, trains run daily from mid-March to October. The summit is the destination between May and October, but from mid-March to mid-May, the trains stop at Clogwyn or Rocky Valley. The trains start at Llanberis, which offers spectacular views, the Welsh Slate Museum the Llanberis Lake Railway, the Electric Mountain Visitor Centre and the Dinorwig Power Station which is built into the Elidir Fawr Mountain.
The Italian Village" (pictured right - photo © Wales Tourist Board) is fun for all the family at any time of the year. Beyond the village are the Gwyllt Woodlands with rare and exotic plants. Close by are miles of sandy beaches. There are seven shops at Portmeiron, plus the Dome Gallery and Beauty Salon, and four restaurants. Portmeirion was created by architect Clough Williams-Ellis, who built the village between 1926 and 1976. It was his boyhood dream to build his own village in a woodland location and he wanted to show that a beautiful location could be developed without being spoilt. Portmeirion is where the cult 1960s TV series The Prisoner, starring actor Patrick McGoohan, was filmed
Chester began as a Roman fortress and became an important Saxon town. It was still a military centre in the Middle Ages, when it was a stronghold against the rebellious Welsh and in the 17th century, when it was embroiled in the Civil War. Chester has unique character in its two-tiered galleries of shops, The Rows, and traditional black and white buildings which have been restored and re-developed to provide easy access to Chester's main shopping streets. At the Grosvenor Museum you can explore Roman life in Chester, explore the past and present wildlife of Chester, imagine life in the past in the Period Houses, admire the glitter and craftsmanship of the Chester Silver Collection and take a trip through the ages in Chester's unique Timeline presentation. Chester Cathedral has been a place of worship for over 1000 years and has beautiful monastic cloisters and garden (they provide an audio-visual presentation of its history and admission is free).
