6 Best Sports & Activity Venues In Gwynedd

A great deal, and not only for comfort. MountainXperience operates in terrain where wind and visibility decide what is sensible, so a session may be changed or moved rather than simply going ahead in poor conditions. Read the mountain forecast rather than the town one, and take the guide's judgement on the day as the final word rather than an inconvenience.

Bwlchgwyn Farm Pony Trekking Centre is recorded outdoors, so a trek in the wet means a wet child on a wet pony. Many riding families take that in their stride. If yours is new to it, pick a settled day for the first one, because a first experience of horses in driving rain rarely produces a second.

Beacon Climbing Centre and Redline Indoor Karting are the two recorded indoors, and between the pair they take in most ages and energy levels. Porth y Swnt carries an indoor flag too and is a quieter, shorter visit filed under museums. Those three are why a washed-out week here need not be a loss, though the list is short enough that you will use them more than once.

Coed y Brenin Forest Park is outdoor and forest ground holds water. Trails that are pleasant in a dry spell turn heavy and slippery for days afterwards, which matters more on a bike than on foot. Check what the site itself says about conditions rather than relying on the fact that it has stopped raining, and take a spare set of everything.
