People, understandably, often get over-excited and dewy eyed when they talk about their own local area. We all have an attachment that runs deep inside of us to the place where we were born and raised. However, our attachments are forged on much more than just a sense of locality or the place we like to…
At approximately 75m/240ft tall, Pistyll Rhaeadr is one of the UK’s tallest waterfalls. It’s also an awesome place for a family hike. With an adjacent car park, café and a range of hiking trails in the area to enjoy and experience, it should, therefore, definitely be on your to-do list. Situated in the beautiful…
Llanberis, in the heart of Snowdonia National Park, is home to many outstanding walks and trails. Although it’s understandably known for its access to the high mountain tracks, there are also a surprising number of gorgeous low-level walks suitable for all ages and abilities. If, like us, you have little legs with you, then one…
We love a good beach adventure. They’re great year-round options for some all-important family outdoor time. In fact, thinking about it, we probably visit the beach more during the Winter and Spring than we do during the Summer.

The vast, vast majority of them are just worked through and overcome easily. However, very occasionally, something goes seriously wrong. When it does, like…
After our recent lowland hike around the gorgeous Cwm Idwal, we were on the lookout for another lowland, family-friendly hike, where we could let the kids explore safely without risking the weather and conditions associated with winter mountain routes. Consequently, we decided to take a drive down to Powys to explore Lake Vyrnwy and one…
As the winter weather starts to take grip, those of you with younger kids will, no doubt, be on the lookout for some lower level walks and hikes. However, a low-level wander doesn’t have to mean boring, flat terrain with next-to-no scenery. In fact, Cwm Idwal, located in the heart of Snowdonia National Park, offers…
Well, we did it. At the beginning of the year we challenged ourselves to Walk 1000 Miles with our two toddlers and, with well over two months left of 2017, we’ve smashed it. So, how do we feel about completing the challenge? What are some of our most memorable moments, and what advice do we…
