GreenWood Forest Park is a rather unlikely find in the North Wales countryside. It's an eco-theme…read morepark which tries to show that you can have fun without using much power (other than that which you provide yourself). It's NOT a park that pushes the green message at you at every opportunity and this I like. It's that fact that it's understated that makes you think about it. Home to Europe's largest Green roller coaster this place is well worth a visit. The coaster itself works alomg similar principles to the mines, power is generated by people being carried down as the coaster is lifted back up to the start. The coaster then runs down and the next group of people can be taken. Other self-powered rides include a boat ride (where you paddle/pull yourself along with ropes) and a great toboggan run. The other major attraction is the bare-foot walk where you can get back to nature via a barefoot walk through various types of ground including sand, cobbles, mud, water and straw. Immense fun and strangely refreshing. Wash facilities are provided (cold!). Toilets are clean and there is a cafe offering good value basic meals. Wait times were not too bad. I liked the fact that this was a simple park and suited to children from toddlers to about 13 years old. I suspect the optimum age range is about 3-8 years. Unlike the traditional theme parkes queues are minimal (no more than a 2 minute wait for anything) despite our visit being on a May bank Holiday weekend in bright sunshine! Please note - do as the website suggests and if you are using a sat nav start to ignore it when you see the brown tourist signs - if you don't then you end up going through some very steep and narrow roads that are not suited to tourist traffic. It will take about 5 minutes more if you follow the tourist signs but you'll get there in one piece! Recommended.

This is my absolute favourite place to visit. Parc Padarn is a country park that consists of a…read moremassive lake surrounded by mountains, which are on the site of a former slate quarry. The Snowdon railway begins from inside Parc Padarn, and there is a good selection of amenities for its many visitors: 2 cafes are near the railway inside the park, with 2 more located just on the outside (1 is in the Electric Mountain visitor centre), toilets are available in the park also, and there is a scattering of shops such as gift shops, shops selling walking clothes, a shop selling hand-made things from slate such as door plates. There's a lot to do for everyone at Parc Padarn. There are 5 official walkways, which are colour-coded and vary in difficulty from a short flat walk accessible to wheelchair users, to a more advanced 5 mile walk around the lake with some steep climbs. You're advised not to stray from the walkways. On the lake there's opportunities to scuba dive, sail a dinghy or kayak, or to sail a remote control boat. There's a few childrens' play areas which are always fairly busy and look well-equipped, and there's a tree top adenture activitiy. In the main entrence to Parc Padarn there's a museum, which is free to enter, with several shows and displays of the old slate quarry workings, as well as a few old-fashioned houses to peek into. I love going here and probably visit a couple of times a week, even throughout the winter.

Popular tourist areas have breathtaking scenery, easy parking and brilliant dog walking spots. Tourist towns such as Betwys Y coed offer great cafe's and extensive well thought out mountain biking trails. I suggest hiring an electric mountain bike to make the most of the scenery in any weather. Driving around Snowdonia is great fun. Taking a long drive up any of the mountain passes is always great fun. For any car enthusiast driving the Evo triangle route can be very memorable. Dog walking around Llandudno in the North with the Great Orme, Pier and other popular tourists attractions is great. A trip through blaenau ffestiniog via the slate mines down onto the Black Rock Sands beach is always good. The beach is open to cars meaning you can drive onto the sand, just don't get stuck! Further down the Llŷn Peninsula Abersoch is worth a visit, especially during summer high season for a surprisingly high end mix of shops, cafes and pubs.

Some walks can be quite difficult. It can be more climbing than walking. The weather is always a big challenge! No huts like in Austria or elsewhere where you can sit and enjoy a nice drink or have a warm cup of tea (do not mention a meal) on the mountains. This is not typical here. Interesting wildlife (birds & flowers). The Rhydd Ddu path is enjoyable. Good website: http://www.eryri-npa.co.uk/

Plenty of parking at the location in Penrhyn quarry where you get kitted out in all the necessary safety gear and a safety talk. From there you walk to the little zipper to build your confidence for the big zip line! You then get into one of their big trucks and travel up the bumpy road to the top and all whilst getting a great view and a talk of the area. You arrive and if it is raining there is a hut at the top where you can wait before being called out. They strap you in and make all the safety checks, count you down if racing against someone and away you go on the longest zip line in Europe and getting to speeds of 100mph plus! You travel for a few seconds before you go over the edge and the entire quarry is beneath you, truly exhilarating! Definitely recommend it and maybe check out there other activities whilst you're up there! North Wales is really spectacular!!
