The 10 Best Things to do for Honeymoon in Gwynedd, Wales

Corris Mine Explorers is now closed until a time when it is safe for us to reopen and to run our award winning underground trips once again. Officially the Best Experience in Mid Wales 2019 / 20. Delve around the secret underground world of a Welsh slate mine with one of Wales' top Mine Explorers; abandoned and forgotten yet full of relics, stories & adventure. Our trips take you into parts of the mine, hand-dug and worked by Victorian miners in 1836 and areas worked up until the 1970s when the mine closed. As the door shut for the very last time a virtual time capsule was left behind which you can now explore. After years of research, our top Mine Guides will share stories of mining life as you explore the underground with some climbing and scrambling if you wish (these parts of the trip are optional). Our trips run with a small group of explorers which means that we can largely tailor make them to suit your wishes, interests and abilities. Discover, explore and have lots of fun.

Learn to stand up paddleboard in the beautiful surroundings of the Mawddach Estuary in Snowdonia National Park, North Wales Because of its position at the mouth of the beautiful Mawddach estuary with it's pretty harbours and long, safe sandy beach, Barmouth is a fantastic location to SUP whether you're a complete beginner looking for an introduction to the sport or an experienced paddle boarder after a guided tour of the Harbour and beyond

After all these years Caernarfon’s immense strength remains undimmed. 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. Please check the Cadw website for specific times and days, including closures.

The Ffestiniog Railway takes you on a 13 1/2-mile journey from the harbour in Porthmadog to the slate-quarrying town of Blaenau Ffestiniog. We are recognised by the Guinness Book of World Records as the oldest railway company in the world, being founded in 1832. We still build steam locomotives and carriages in our own workshops and the world's oldest steam engine, Prince, is still in regular use today - more than 150 years after it was built. Our historic trains climb over 700 feet from sea level into the mountains through tranquil pastures and magnificent forests, past lakes and waterfalls, round horseshoe bends (even a complete spiral) clinging to the side of the mountain or tunnelling through it. The Welsh Highland is Snowdonia's newest railway. Trains start their spectacular 25 mile scenic journey from beneath the historic castle walls at Caernarfon. The trains - hauled by the world's most powerful narrow gauge steam locomotives - climb from sea level to over 650 feet on the foothills of Snowdon, before zig-zagging dramatically down the steep hillside to reach Beddgelert, nestling in the heart of the National Park, then through the magnificent Aberglaslyn Pass - voted the most beautiful spot in the UK by the National Trust - and on to Porthmadog.

For that vintage seaside atmosphere of candy floss and donkey rides, set up your deckchair in the section closest to the town. The Blue Flag beach is never overcrowded and also has trampolines, bouncy castle and pirate ship during the Summer. If you want a quieter space for your picnic and to be closer to the sea, then venture further along the one-mile long promenade perhaps using the land train which runs the length of the promenade.
