Try the fabulous Kurdish Pasties made by the fascinating owner. Great little bakery that it would be easy to pass without discovering the treats within.

From the top of the sanddunes there is a stunning view of the Harlech Castle, the mountains and this long sandy beach. The sanddunes are wonderful for running down and this is a great beach for building sandcastles and for jumping in the waves!

This beach is unusual in that you can drive right onto the beach. At the northwestern end there are some nice rock formations along the side of a lovely sandy beach.

Snowdon can be a little crowded so it's not our favourite local mountain but it is nice to say you have climbed the highest mountain in Wales. The views from the top are spectacular. The walk up the Pigg track and down the miners track is our preferred route. You have to be up early to park at Pen y Pass but go a mile down the road and there is plenty more parking.

Have a go at the fastest Zip wire in the world and the longest in Europe. On a fine day the views are spectacular. Or try bounce below or junior bounce below - these are underground so great for a rainy day - this is a bit of a work out. Although these are not cheap activities, they are lots of fun!
