Harlech Castle
Llanfair Slate Caverns
These tunnels and caverns were all man made over 100 years ago – with nothing but a candle for lighting. Descend Jacobs ladder and wander through the tunnels and chambers, and look for the old drilling holes, and the likeness of a human face in the mighty no 6 cavern. As you emerge from the caverns, you face the breathtaking view of Cardigan Bay, from the Preseli mountains in the south to the Lleyn peninsular. Look down at Shell Island and the Artro estuary, and at low tide trace the fourteen mile long natural causeway of St Patrick.
Children’s Farm Park Petting Zoo
The Children’s Farm Park offers you (and the children) the chance to get up close and personal with your favourite animals. Make a visit during Spring and early Summer time to have a go bottle-feeding the lambs and calves. You’ll also find goats, ducks, chickens and owls, all housed in farm buildings – so no need to worry about the weather.
