Crocky Trail is set in a large farmland area in the Cheshire countryside. It\u2019s a crazy and quirky outdoor adventure park, with a whole range of gravity defying scary slides, as well as popular rides such the Spinning Disk, Titanic and the terrifying Flusher. There is also a mile long Crocky Trail path, which winds its way through fields, passing over obstacles that you have to master, including scrambling through trees, climbing over crooked bridges and swinging over the Crocky stream. After the adrenalin of the adventure park, there are many areas you can relax and grab a coffee, plus picnic area and food outlets are available. Do dress for the weather, as the Crocky Trail path can get rather muddy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consisting of 70 acres of country park, woodland, reservoirs, visitors centre with museums (Packed full of industrial heritage) caf\u00e9, play parks, and a beautiful ancient abbey – There is plenty to see and do!

The visitors centre is beautifully well kept and consists of a range of historic buildings, and museums that capture a by-gone era \u2013 e.g. Tudor farmhouse, a large barn with historical farming machinery, and an old school-house. As a family, our children have enjoyed many trips here, finding out what \u2018Life would have been like in the olden days\u2019. The maze and adventure playground with picnic area\u2019s very popular. For pre-school children there\u2019s also a small indoor soft play and ride on tractors.

One of the oldest visitor attractions in North Wales est. 1884! Sit back enjoy a slower pace as you mender along the Llangollen canal taking in the beautiful scenery on this unique horse drawn boat trip. Please note, the boats can get rather busy in the summer months, but well-behaved dogs on leads are welcome on the 45-minute and 2-hour trips. There is also a dog friendly Tea-Room at the Wharf which we recommend. After a boat trip, there is plenty to keep you busy during a full day sight-seeing in Llangollen, including cafes, ice-cream parlours, and gift shops to look around.\u00a0 The Corn Mill is a dog and family friendly pub, which we recommend. 4 miles further on is the World Heritage site at Pontcysyllte Aqueduct this is a MUST SEE.\u00a0 You can walk over the aqua-duct and take in the stunning views, however, dogs are NOT able to go on the boat trips at this point, due to food being served on-board the boats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We love it here! This is a fantastic family theme park, with a lovely \u2018Outdoor and Eco\u2019 ethos \u2013 where dogs are also welcome \u2013 which is a brilliant bonus! It\u2019s never crowded (So far so good!) Our children love the thrill of the Solar Splash Water Ride, the \u2018People Powered-Roller Coaster\u2019 and the grass sledges are a big hit, but, in addition, the more traditional archery, stilt walking, theatre participation, bare foot walk, and giant bouncy-castle ‘Pillow’ are also big favourites with our girls. You\u2019re sure to have a great day out here!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a fabulous activity centre, offering not only ski-ing, snowboarding, and alpine golf, but my girls have had so much fun racing down the hill tobogganing and sno-tubing here. The crazy golf has also recently been updated and it looks fantastic! Dogs are welcome on a lead, and you just take in turns to try out the activities. There is also a lovely dog friendly \u2018Chalet\u2019 style caf\u00e9, with great home cooked food and fabulous views over Llandudno. If you want to make a full day of it, we highly recommend taking a stroll along Llandudno\u2019s promenade and pier. There is plenty to keep everyone happy here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
