Things to do on site and in the Caernarfon area
For those seeking adventure, Llyn Padarn (10 minutes) is one of the largest natural lakes in Wales, a great spot for wild swimming and watersports! Or the base of Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) is easily reached whether you're walking or taking the railway up (20 minutes)!
if you're wanting a bit more buzz head to Caernarfon (5 minutes) and admire the UNESCO site of Caernarfon Castle, with perfect views of the Menai Straits and a great day out, especially for history lovers! Here, there are also plenty of restaurants, bars and shops to spend your days and evenings.
Head across the Menai Straits to Anglesey (10 minutes) and see what wildlife you can spot! Anglesey is home to the likes of puffins and dolphins at certain times of the year - so time your trip right! Head to some of the fantastic beaches, great for family days out with the dog, why not learn to surf whilst you're there?
Conveniently located at the top of the drive is a small family run takeaway, serving delicious roast dinners every Sunday until early afternoon - so you can enjoy a lovely home cooked roast in the comfort of your caravan without any of the cooking and cleaning up!

- Tyddyn Mawr Golf Course - Next door! (2 minute walk)
- Piggery Pottery (5 minutes)
