Things to Do

Your North Wales Adventure

From mountain summits to sandy beaches, there is something for everyone within easy reach of Cae Haidd Bach.

Mountains & Walks

Snowdonia National Park is on your doorstep. Whether you want to summit Snowdon itself, tackle the Nantlle Ridge, or take a gentle lakeside walk around Llyn Padarn, there are trails for every level. The views from these hills — craggy peaks, glacial valleys, and the occasional wild pony — are as good as it gets in Britain.

We hiked Snowdon and came back to the most incredible sunset from the terrace. Literally five minutes from the start of the trails.

Beaches & Coast

The beaches of the Llyn Peninsula are just a short drive away. Dinas Dinlle offers miles of sand backed by dramatic cliffs, while the coves at Trefor and Nefyn feel wonderfully remote. Pack a picnic, bring a wetsuit if you are feeling brave, and let the kids run wild.

The beaches are so close — we were on the sand at Dinas Dinlle within twenty minutes. The kids absolutely loved it.

Activities & Adventure

From zip-lining at Zip World to kayaking on the Menai Strait, North Wales is built for adventure. Families will love the Welsh Highland Railway, while thrill-seekers can try coasteering or mountain biking. Caernarfon Castle — a UNESCO World Heritage Site — is just ten minutes down the road.

Perfect base for exploring. Caernarfon Castle was ten minutes away and Zip World under half an hour. Could not have been better placed.

Food & Drink

The local food scene punches well above its weight. Farm shops, artisan bakeries, and seafood straight from the boats at Caernarfon harbour. For a proper pub meal, there are excellent options in the surrounding villages.

The local pub in the village was a two-minute drive. We also found an incredible seafood place in Caernarfon harbour. What a treat.
