There is a lovely pub just two minutes’ walk away serving delicious bar meals, whilst a wide selection of eateries are available just a few minutes’ drive away. Nearby, the former slate capital of the world, Blaenau Ffestiniog, is home to Zip World where you can experience the worlds’ largest zip wire zone as you zoom high over an old slate quarry. You can also go deep underground at Bounce Below and try out the nets and slides deep in an old slate cavern the size of St Paul’s Cathedral! You will hear the little steam trains of the famous Ffestiniog Railway as they bustle down the line on the spectacular journey to the coast at Porthmadog. Here you will find the enormous sandy beach at Black Rock Sands, don’t forget to take your bucket and spade, and nearby is the lovely Italianate village of Portmeirion. Beach 8½ miles.
