Guest favourite. The annual osprey breeding is the talk of the area. We even named a room after one of our osprey girls... Great option also if it's raining as theres a visitors centre and then a short walk to the hide. The walk route is exposed but the viewing hide and shop are enclosed.

King Arthur's Labyrinth is an underground attraction set in an old Welsh slate mine, it's exciting and enjoyable. You board an underground boat and sail deep beneath the mountain behind The Old Vicarage and through the magical veil of a waterfall which sweeps you back into the mists of time. Guided by a Dark Age Boatman you'll walk through the vast underground caverns and winding tunnels of the Labyrinth to find ancient stories from Wales.
