Popcorn Camping Nant Conwy

Historic Llanrwst (five minutes’ drive) is well-worth a peek for its two 17th-century chapels, one of which holds the stone coffin of medieval King Llywelyn the Great. It’s also got a bunch of pubs, takeaways and restaurants as well as lovely walks along the River Conwy. If you have the odd rainy day, divert the kids into the indoor swimming pool, and when the weather behaves, let toddlers have a play on the climbing frames at Gwydyr Park Play Area. Llanrwst is also gateway to outdoorsy adventures in Snowdonia National Park (five minutes). Adrenaline-seekers can zip down steep hillsides on toboggans or leap through the treetops at Zip World Fforest, while Adventure Parc Snowdonia (both 10 minutes) is the place for surfers to catch waves as zipwire fiends whizz down lines right above them. If you prefer to stay very firmly on the ground, Betws-y-Coed (10 minutes) is hiking and biking central, with scores of walks leading up into the hills, like the trail up to Hafna Lead Mine (five minutes). At Pen-y-Pass (25 minutes) you can access the route up Mount Snowdon, or you can abandon the walking boots in favour of underground tours at the National Slate Museum (40 minutes).
