Plas Newydd Historic House will unfortunately be closed until further notice. Home of the ‘Ladies of Llangollen’ Miss Sarah Ponsonby and Lady Eleanor Butler captured the imagination of Regency society when they ran away and set up home together in Wales. Visit their extraordinary gothicised home and hear of the stream of famous visitors they received. Learn how they won the hearts of local people and turned a simple cottage into a fantasy of oak carvings and stained glass.

A lovely beach in Prestatyn, to take a stroll by the sea, and watch the world go by. Was a bit breezy, but nice all the same.

Rhyl Miniature Railway

We are a 15 inch gauge miniature railway offering rides of a mile length around the Marine Lake in Rhyl which we have been doing since 1911. We still have the first loco that opened the railway on 1st May 1911 and we also operate some of the locos that were built between 1920 and 1926 to replace the two original locos after they were found to be too small. So on the steam loco front we have Prince Edward of Wales (1911) Joan (1920) Railway Queen (1921) Michael (1924) and Cagney (c1910). We also have a diesel loco called Clara (1961) and our Tram (1970). We also have Billy (1926) on display in our museum which is owned by the council. We run every weekend from Easter till end of sept and then school hols with us open everyday for the summer hols. We also have special event through the year at Easter, the second bank hols in May and the first weekend of Aug and our Santa Trains near Christmas.

Llangollen and the Horseshoe Falls

Reviewed By SallyG22 - Llangollen, United Kingdom

Park in Llangollen & walk across the bridge & up to the canal. This is a most enjoyable & peaceful walk, particularly in Spring, Summer & Autumn along the canal to the Horseshoe Falls. You can have lunch or coffee at the Chainbridge Hotel near the falls which is very pleasant as it overlooks the fascinating Chain Bridge, which has been restored. The falls themselves are very attractive & you can also walk beyond them, following the river Dee to Llantysilio Church which is a lovely, peaceful little church covered in snowdrops in February. Definitely worth walking here!

Prestatyn High Street

A beautiful Victorian High Street with a glorious coastline at one end and the mighty Clwydian range on the other. Prestatyn High Street has managed to maintain it's charm with a fantastic selection of fashion boutiques, charming eateries and fine dining to boot. Still very much at the heart of the community, many fantastic events are held here each year.

Rhyl East Beach

Reviewed By Revieweress - London, United Kingdom

Visited here with the kids whilst in North Wales. What a beautiful beach!! The sand is gorgeous, clean with plenty of pebbles and shells. Could keep kids entertained for ages. We could have stayed all day even in the rain but it started raining heavy. Loved the beach shops and the souvenir shop. Lovely places to buy freshly made doughnuts, coffee. The souvenir shop was the only place I found some Welsh magnets, seaside rock and fudge. There were arcades and amusements along the promenade as well. We've been to Colwyn Bay Beach but thought Rhyl was better.

Marine Lake

Reviewed By Motait - Rhyl, United Kingdom

We took our 2 grandsons there (they are 23 months). We had a lovely time on the play park and then decided to go on the little train. It was £3 for hubby and I (babies free). The station was really good, a shop there where you could get coffee, refreshments and stuff to go crabbing, and toilets. There were loads of kids catching crabs (and putting them back). The train ride was good too. We spent a really nice afternoon there even though the weather wasn't great.

SeaQuarium Rhyl

Rhyl SeaQuarium has an open seafront location and sits on the beautiful North Wales coastline. We would like to welcome all new explorers to join us on a voyage of discovery as we travel beneath the waves, from tranquil fresh waters to the cold depths of the abyss. Along the way we will encounter the strangely shaped sturgeon, as well as sharks found off our very own coast and rays that glide effortlessly through the water. We will also find solitary lobsters, conger eels and mystical axolotls before entering the Lethal Reef, home to some of the most poisonous animals on our planet. These are just a few of the amazing, strange and beautiful animals that await us on our adventure.

Our kids (10,8,6,3)all loved being up close to so many sea creatures! We used Tesco vouchers to pay for it.
