North Wales used to be more known as the perfect, relaxing holiday retreat in the hilly countryside right next to the coast. These days, Wales takes advantage of its wonderful natural resources to bring you a range of adrenaline packed activities. Llandudno is an ideal stop off spot to enjoy the coast and all the activities the area has to offer. As a Llandudno promenade hotel, the seafront is just a few steps away from the front door; ideal for lovers of the outdoors.
A short drive away you’ll find Go Below Underground Adventure; a truly unique experience. You and the rest of your team will get kitted out before taking a journey deep underground through a series of challenging obstacles. Test your skills by taking on zip lines over water, climbing waterfalls and abseiling down underground cliff edges.
If the underground isn’t enough for you, why not fly through the skies with Zip World’s Velocity Zip Line. This is no easy feat for those of you who fear heights, being the fastest zip line in the world and the longest in Europe. If you have kids with you, why not try Bounce Below in the same location. This underground attraction brings together a bouncing underground world of colour and fun into the eerie caves of North Wales.
If you’re looking for an adventure amongst the forest, Zip World also has an attraction in Betws-y-Coed which will give that rush you’re looking for. Not only a high ropes course filled with a range of obstacles, the attraction also offers other heart racing activities. The ‘Plummet’ is the world’s highest power fan tree parachute simulator, towering over 100ft. ‘Skyride’ is Europe’s highest 5-seater swing ride, hoisting you and your friends over 80ft into the air before one of you pulls the release handle and send you soaring.
Maybe watersports is more your thing? In that case, make your way over to the National White Water Rafting Centre North Wales near Bala. You’ll be set up with all the safety equipment before taking a short course with their well experienced members of staff. Afterwards you can choose to ride the calmer Lower Tryweryn or the wilder Upper Tryweryn for a real white water rafting adventure.
In Llandudno itself, there’s tobogganing on the Orme; the best for a panoramic view of the bay! Whatever you’re looking for, the choice is yours in North Wales land, sea or air, all easily accessed from the seaside town of Llandudno.
