As I creep my way back to full fitness, I’ve really been enjoying the best trail running routes that North East Wales has to offer. We consider ourselves incredibly lucky that we live in a little corner of Wales that offers so much diversity in terms of landscapes and terrain, that pretty much whatever we fancy…
Anyone who read my series on the Offa’s Dyke Path will know that we certainly don’t lack quality trails with beautiful views here in North East Wales. In fact, we are blessed with an absolute wealth of them. However, as I’ve been picking up the trail-running miles again fairly recently after a long lay-off and…
The Aberglaslyn Pass is, without doubt, one of the most picturesque river walks in North Wales. While you can obviously walk back on yourself to return to your starting point, we always, if we can, opt for a circular walk. For us, circular walks maximise the variety of scenery and experiences on offer, meaning that…
In this, the final part of our series on the Offa’s Dyke Path through North East Wales, we take you from Rhuallt to Prestatyn, the northerly termination point for Offa’s Dyke adventures. It’s a leg characterised by rolling hills, green pastureland and sea views. All in all, it’s another cracker! Leg 4: Rhuallt to…
In the first two parts of our Offa’s Dyke adventure through gorgeous North East Wales, we guided you along relaxing canals, over World Heritage Sites and across the ever-changing landscape between Llangollen and Llandegla, before taking you across the stunning Clwydian Range for a day of undulating beauty and summit vistas between Llandegla and Bodfari….
In the first of our series on North East Wales walks and the Offa’s Dyke Path, we guided you through the ever-changing landscapes between Llangollen and Llandegla. In this, part two, we pick up from where we left off and head deep into the Clwydian Range for a tough, undulating second leg. Don’t worry though,…
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. They’re less crowded, on the whole, meaning that a peaceful walk suitable for even the smallest of…
