Speciality:

✓ Castle ✓ Garden ✓ Parkland ✓ Cwt Ogwen Play Area ✓ Victorian Kitchens ✓ Castle Cafe and Stable Cafe ✓ The Castle Shop ✓ Second-hand Bookshop

“2025 Update: Penrhyn Castle and Garden's front stone hides more than just the red bricks inside the castle, built in the early 19th century. Penrhyn Castle and Garden has a strong architecture, rich interiors, and valuable artworks, relying on a long history of sugar and slate riches, social problems, and the longest industrial dispute in the UK. Penrhyn Castle and Garden, owned by the Pennant family, Penrhyn is a significant example impact of slavery-derived wealth that changed the way Wales’ buildings look. Penrhyn Castle has vast rooms, rich neo-Norman architecture and opulent furnishings steeped in these colonial histories. Penrhyn Castle sits on the Menai Strait, with the Snowdonia mountains as a backdrop, and has views of both its quarry and the port where slate was sent worldwide.”

ZIP WORLD LLECHWEDD REVIEWS

Great place for some exhilarating fun. Caverns is one of the best adventures I've done and the mine tour is very interesting and well thought out. What really made the place was the staff, all really friendly and approachable not to mention knowledgeable. Overall had a fantastic weekend trialling most of the activities.

Underground golf in a mine was not something I thought was on our 2024 bucket list but it should have been. This was absolutely amazing. The playlist was full of bangers and my family and I had a great time going round the course. The slide at the end was obviously a highlight and the mine cart lift/train was so much fun!

We went to Bounce Below on a Friday in term time. It wasn't too busy at all so we regularly had a net to ourselves. We had such a fun sessions exploring the different nets. Staff were so lovely and friendly. I would definitely recommend!

TALYLLYN RAILWAY REVIEWS

I visited from the United States and booked a driver experience. From the jump, the staff was not only helpful, but extremely courteous, friendly and kind. Once I was here, this continued with every staff/volunteer I was with. The driver experience is something I’ve wanted to do since I was a child, and the staff was eager to share in my excitement. The views are unbeatable (even if you know nothing about trains), and the passion the volunteers have about their little railway is infectious. I will be back again, for sure! Thank you for making my dream come true!

Spent a day on the railway and really enjoyed it. Got of a dolgoch to see the waterfalls but well worth it. Make sure you go up to the top, it's a bit of a climb but lovely. Try and sit in an open carriage, it's much more fun. The station at Tywyn has a nice museum and a big café. It's also got strong links with Thomas the Tank Engine.

Thoroughly enjoyed my ride on the steam train today! As well as some very scenic views, it was a very pleasurable experience, and I thought it was very good value for money for a 2 and half hour round trip. Definitely something worth doing if you're in Tywyn!

PENRHYN CASTLE AND GARDEN REVIEWS

Incredible experience. Our 3, 5 and 7 year old kids loved it. Couldn't believe the size of the castle. The open areas inside the castle were fascinating to explore and beautifully decorated. The games on the gardens around the castle were a lovely bonus for the kids. Would heartily recommend for a family day out.

Absolutely stunning! The views and castle are out of this world. The inside of the castle has stunning architectural detail and original furnishings. Staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. Well worth a day out. There is a cafe and toilets on site, and a handy buggy ride from the entrance to the castle front door. Highly recommended.

Lovely site, lots to see and do. Dogs welcome in the grounds but not in the main castle so if you bring your bow you will need to tag team the hound. The cafe is nice, a little expensive just for drinks but that’s the norm. The gardens were lovely. Well worth a visit
