Rwst Holiday Lodges

For thrilling experiences of the vertiginous kind, head to Zip World Fforest (five minutes’ drive), where you can ride a giant swing 80ft above the ground, take a 100ft drop through a trap door or hurtle down a hill on an alpine coaster. Of course, there are also zipwires, plus treetop nets for kids. Little adventurers (and big ones, for that matter) will have a ball on the gigantic ninja-style assault course at Adventure Parc Snowdonia (10 minutes), where you can also learn to surf in a manmade lagoon with artificial waves. And it would be a crime to be this close to the coast and not spend at least a day at the seaside. Conwy (20 minutes) has a medieval castle and a beach where you can watch the sun go down. Or grab an ice cream or a stick of rock on the Victorian pier at Llandudno (25 minutes), then ride the cable car to the top of the Great Orme peninsula for views of the coastline.
