Seaton Point

Scenic spot

👍👍 Absolute little gem of a beach, it’s very basic and the more beautiful for it. Small car park which fills quickly. There are some homes on the cliff top to the north but unsure if you are allowed to park on their grassy area. The actual beach is very sandy and about 400m in length north to south and...

Arthog Waterfalls

Scenic spot

👍👍 Such a lovely hidden gem. I recommend walking the whole way up to the old stone bridge at the top then on to the ancient stone circle. So peaceful and an absolute delight. Access to the lakes is also possible but this is a further walk

Mote Mark

Scenic spot

👍 Impressively large earthwork that was clearly of some significance around the 8th century. Not sure if you can access the motte itself as in the day we went we had shorts on and a local warned us it had become overgrown and there was a risk of mites! The overgrown bit is the path down from the cross...

Moelfre Beach

Scenic spot

👍👍 Very small beach but quite lovely and has good boulders around to climb over, just be careful as they can be slippery. Really nice spot to come to and if you walk up the coast you’ll find the Rnli centre. Had a good time and the parking is quite cheap.

Goram's Chair

Scenic spot

👍👍 I've lived next to blaise castle for 54 years played in the woods growing up.. the goram's chair is in the middle of the wood and is very difficult to get to as you have to climb down a slope to get to it..but once down the view you get of blaise is looking down on the man made pond and stream and a...

Llyn Tegid

Scenic spot

👍👍 Amazing place! Really tranquil! Scenic views and decent size lake. The main beach was very busy but others slightly smaller ones around the lake were pretty much empty. Perfect for kayaking and paddle boarding as well as swimming. The water was very clear. It had an algae when we went but if you don...

Penrith Beacon

Scenic spot

👍👍 Stunning spot for a walk in the woods. If you go on a clear day you can see pretty much all the way into the Lake District. There is a great loop round that takes about 45mins to an hour walking at a reasonable pace.
