Your whole family will be captivated by the 12 acres of natural woodland at Ogwen Bank. Situated in the Nant Ffrancon Valley in the foothills of Snowdonia, where rabbits play freely on your doorstep, this is an area of outstanding natural beauty. Just a mile away is the old traditional Welsh slate village of Bethesda. A warm welcome and a friendly atmosphere awaits you in the heart of the park at the Olde Worlde Country Club (formerly the hunting lodge to Penrhyn Castle). Relax in front of the log fire after the day's activities, or join in the dancing in the family room. Children are welcome in a major part of the club where there are pool tables and video games.
The River Ogwen runs through the grounds with waterfalls, pools and nearly a mile of river frontage. Trout and salmon fishing is available on two stretches of the Ogwen (permits locally). There's pony trekking (8 miles), canoeing locally and magnificent walks. Explore Snowdonia and visit the resorts and beaches of the delightful North Wales coastline.
