Attractions / Activities
National Slate Museum
Attraction
The National Slate Museum is sited in the Victorian workshops built in the shadow of Elidir mountain, site of the vast Dinorwig quarry.
Penmaenmawr Museum
Attraction
Visiting Penmaenmawr Museum is a journey through time – a journey that takes you thousands of years into the past and leads you to the town you see today.
Old Post Office, Conwy Old Road, Penmaenmawr, Conwy, LL34 6UU
Penrhyn Castle
Attraction
This enormous 19th-century neo-Norman castle sits between Snowdonia and the Menai Strait. It's crammed with fascinating items, such as a one-ton slate bed made for Queen Victoria, elaborate carvings, plasterwork and mock-Norman furniture.
Porth Neigwl | Hell's Mouth
Attraction
This beach’s dramatic English name is based not just on its semicircular shape resembling a wide, open mouth. Its hellish dimension comes from a savage, south-westerly aspect that offers precious little shelter to sailors.
Llanengan, Gwynedd, LL53 7LG
Porthmadog Maritime Museum
Attraction
Porthmadog’s bustling harbour was even busier 150 years ago. Discover the reason at this museum, which tells the story of the port’s shipbuilding and slate exporting heyday.
Porthor (Whistling Sands)
Attraction
This small, picturesque National Trust beach, backed by steep grassy cliffs, is on the Llŷn Heritage Coast. It’s famously known as ‘Whistling Sands’, a nickname based on the sound the granules make underfoot when you walk over its gleaming sand.
Aberdaron, LL53 8LH
