The West Arms experience is about much more than the warmth, comfort and welcome of the centuries-old building itself. It’s about the stunning beauty and natural variety of the surrounding landscape. There is a range of things to do in North Wales, from the surroundings of your room, you can enjoy walking, mountain biking, horseback riding, golfing, fishing, canoeing and climbing in some of the most spectacular scenery the UK has to offer. The world famous Snowdonia National Park is close at hand, as are Chirk and Powis castles, the picturesque town of Llangollen and Pistyll Rhaeadr waterfall.

Despite being completed in 1310, Chirk Castle is still lived in today, and is the last Welsh castle from the reign of Edward I which can make that claim. Within its walls, you’ll find a fascinating glimpse into 700 years of history, captured in the form of a medieval tower and dungeon, a 17th century long gallery, breath-taking 18th century apartments, a servant’s hall, a historic laundry and award winning gardens.
If you visit Pistyll Rhaeadr and think it looks familiar, there’s a chance you’ve seen it being used as an impromptu shower by the girl in the Timotei Shampoo advert. It’s easy to see why they chose the waterfall, which is known as one of the Seven Wonders of Wales. At 240ft (80m) high it is the tallest single drop fall in the UK and it’s located just a scenic 20 minute drive from the West Arms, amidst the spectacular scenery of the Berwyn Mountains. There’s even a café at the site so you can take some refreshments on board when you visit. So if you are looking for things to do in North Wales, defintely give this a try!
Chirk Aqueduct is a stunning feat of design and engineering which was completed in 1801. It carries the Llangollen Canal across the leafy Ceiriog Valley at a height of seventy feet. At the north end of the aqueduct you can explore the Chirk Tunnel, but as it stretches for over 12,000 feet you’d better take a torch with you.
