Beautiful house and gardens, just outside the centre of Wrexham
Definitely worth a visit.

Our Weekend in Anglesey
A few pics – we stayed in a caravan at Rhos Farm Park
The park was a big hit
We visited the beautiful Plas Newydd House
and Pili Palas
Pili Palas is a little cheap n cheerful, but provides a nice day out to enjoy with the family. The staff are nice and so are most of the people who visit. Plus Nora really enjoyed it so can’t complain – it’s worth the money.
Moel Famau, Mold, North Wales – Car Park PostCode
Follow the sign for Moel Famau and carry on past Loggerheads to your right.
Don’t do what I did and put “Moel Famau” into Google Maps, it took my right off the main road, past the entrance to Loggerheads and round in circles for about an hour around the mountain/hill/whatever it is.
The postcode for Moel Famau Car Park is CH7 5SH
If you put in “Coed Moel Famau NRW car park” to Google Maps, you’ll get a direct route/accurate route to the first car park. The second car park is about 2 minutes down the road, on the same side – if you come to the first car park and it is in your right, the second car park is on the right too (there’s a smaller one across the road anyway!)
Some pics from our camp on Friday.
It was minus 5 degrees C
will update more pics when I can work out how to embed the Instagram images!
Moel Famau Post Code
– This is a bit of a mystery, even on Google maps there isn’t one shown, hopefully a SatNav will list it as a local attraction/landmark though. The postcode – CH7 5SG should bring you by Loggerheads, turn right after that down Bwlch Pen barras road
Glyn-Dyfrdwy, Denbighshire (near Corwen)
Lovely place for some camping at the weekend.
We ended up attending the Conscious Camp, which turned out to be great family fun. Sorry for the cliche, but it was!
We even got involved in a bit of river swimming
Horse Shoe Falls – North Wales
Took a half day on Friday, and drove down to the waterfall by the Horse Shoe Pass (which is kind-of by Llangollen).
Great idea if you live within a few hours driving distance, hardly anyone there on a Friday afternoon.
The waterfall itself, isn’t really a waterfall (see pic above).
However, it is still really beautiful, especially the view from the hill above the lake/waterfall.
Lots of ‘layers’ of trees, hills, etc.
Horse Shoe Pass, Denbighshire – Near Llangollen
Near the Ponderosa cafe
Horseshoe Pass, Llangollen, LL20 8DR
You can park at the cafe, or across the road – there is usually plenty of free parking.
The Horseshoe pass is a great place for walkers, hikers, bikers and families. Something for virtually everyone!
There are also a number of campsites nearby, and you can stay over at the cafe.
Air BnB – North Wales
So, I used Air BnB for the first time – and stayed in a house near Amlwch, Anglesey.
It costs £60 a night, and was well worth it.
It was perfect for us with a baby – as we had a meal cooked for us, and stayed and didn’t have to worry about the baby screaming and upsetting people.
If you don’t fancy sharing the actual house, the couple that we stayed with, also have a caravan outside.
There’s a lovely beach about 10 minutes drive away from the house:
Pili Palas was really quiet, and definitely worth a visit with the little-one
Lake Vyrnwy
In addition to walking; hiking, horse riding, rock climbing and cycling are popular activities.
Positively North Wales
