Logfire Holidays

Beach, please? You won’t have far to go at all. Talacre beach (25 minutes’ drive) has a peaceful seafront, and on a stroll down to the Dee estuary, you might be lucky enough to spot birds like skylarks or warblers. Prestatyn beach (25 minutes) has a livelier scene; get stuck into surfing or sailing there. With Snowdonia National Park accessible from 35 minutes’ drive, you’re in store for mountain scenery, steam railways and adrenaline-inducing activities. Just block in some time to visit Snowdon Mountain Railway (an hour and five minutes) and Adventure Parc Snowdonia (50 minutes). You may not be on a city break, but a city day trip is well within your reach since Chester (40 minutes) and Liverpool (an hour and 10 minutes) are within driving distance. As for those of you who’d like to see some remnants of times gone by, the National Trust’s Bodnant Garden (40 minutes) is a Grade I-listed building and Gwrych Castle (half an hour) is a 19th-century house. Rhuddlan (20 minutes) is a castle that has been standing since the 1200s. And for a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Conwy (35 minutes) has a 13th-century fortress and ancient walls.
