Fall 100ft through a trapdoor, fly through the forest on Zip World’s giant swing, or twist and turn through the trees on the Fforest Coaster. If you prefer water based adrenaline activities, head to Plas Y Brenin National Outdoor Centre in Snowdonia National Park to try canoeing, kayaking and white water rafting.

Enjoy a round of golf at Conwy Caernarvonshire Golf Club. Home of the Curtis Cup 2020, the links course provides a great golfing experience all year round.
For a more tranquil yet rewarding outdoor adventure, try one of the popular walks in the area. Head uphill and trek along the Conwy Mountain Walk to enjoy superb views over the county. Alternatively, enjoy a stroll around one of the county’s beautiful lakes. The circular trails at Llyn Brenig and Llyn Crafnant are pushchair friendly.
