Dolbelidr nestles among extensive gardens and orchards in the beautiful vale of Clwyd in rural Denbighshire with breathtaking views towards the Clwydian Range. This is a walker’s paradise – a well-known hiking spot is the Moel Famau, the landmark you can see from the house with views down to the Vale. We are ideally situated with easy access from the A55 with transport links to Llandudno, Conwy and Snowdonia. The medieval town of Denbigh (with its shops and restaurants) is just 3 miles away. Conwy Castle and Denbigh Castle are close by, as is the charming city of Chester. Drive across the moors to lakes and reservoirs. On the doorstep are sandy beaches and mountains……..but here are a few of our favourite recommendations:
The dominant feature of course is majestic Snowdon – Wales’ highest mountain, the climbing of which can be a lifetime’s achievement.
https://www.visitsnowdonia.info/snowdon-walking-routes On a clear day you can see Ireland, Scotland, England and even the Isle of Man. However, for those wanting an easier ascent, you can take either the traditional or heritage steam train.
Visiting Portmeirion is a must and just under an hour’s drive from Dolbelidr.
https://portmeirion.wales/. Clough Williams-Ellis’ aim was to show how a naturally beautiful site could be developed without spoiling it. Today this quirky Italianate village is one of Wales’ premier visitor attractions.
For the thrill seekers, Zip Wire Titan and Llechwedd Slate Mines offers the ultimate zipping experience http://www.zipworld.co.uk Each rider travels over 2kms with the total length of the zip lines at over 8 kms!
Alongside is Bounce Below http://www.bouncebelow.net/ - the world’s largest subterranean playground of its kind. Set within the slate cavern of a disused mine, huge trampoline like nets have been hung within two vast chambers which are linked together by walkways and slides.
Lovely Llandudno is the largest seaside resort in Wales and as early as 1861 was being called the “Queen of the Welsh Watering Places”. Its famous Pier was built in 1877 and is a Grade II listed building. Fish and Chips in the town are legendary! https://www.visitconwy.org.uk/towns-and-villages/llandudno
Rhyl with its SeaQuarium is only 8 miles away and well worth a “day out”. With its miles of sandy beaches it has always been a tourist destination for tourists.
Quickly becoming a “foodie” region there are great restaurants, farmer owned dairy cooperatives (South Caernarfon Creameries with its award-winning Dragon Cheddar); Distilleries, Breweries and even Vineyards! Worth visiting is Bodnant Welsh Food Centre at Conwy https://www.bodnant-welshfood.co.uk/.
Your local city of St Asaph is definitely worth exploring – historians believe that the Roman fort of Varae sat on the side of the cathedral.
For those looking for a shopping experience, the Tweedmill in St. Asaph is just about walkable. There is a deli and café and you can even buy a ready “picnic” if you are going out for the day….
EATING OUT
There are a couple of recommended pubs within easy access – The Dinorben Arms https://www.brunningandprice.co.uk/dinorbenarms/ and The White House https://whitehouserhuallt.co.uk/. Both are around 3 miles away but there is also a local fish and chip shop.
