Outdoor Activities in Conwy

Windproof layers ahead of everything else. The walls of Conwy Castle and the deck of Conwy Suspension Bridge are open on all sides, and the sand at Llandudno Beach offers no shelter either. Families who dress for the estuary rather than the thermometer get much more out of all three and last considerably longer at them.

Conwy Water Gardens, Bodafon Farm Park and Knightly's Fun Park all keep a small child at ground level with something concrete to be getting on with. Castle walls and a bridge deck demand a level of vigilance that wears you out with a toddler, however good they look from the car park.

Largely, at Conwy Castle. It is flagged for inside as well, but most of what children come away remembering happens up on the walls and in the open air. That makes it a weather-dependent choice wearing the costume of a safe one, so read the forecast before treating it as the answer to a rainy day.

Surf Snowdonia is the record most likely to need booking, being a session rather than a site you drop into. The rest of the page leans towards turn-up-and-see, though anything with animals rewards an early arrival. Check directly instead of assuming, particularly during school holidays when small sites fill fast.
