Pawfect attractions
Talyllyn Railway
A trip on the Talyllyn Railway is a must with your four-legged friend who will be treated like royalty. The sights and smells of the steam make for a memorable day out as you travel along the beautiful Fathew valley to Abergynolwyn. A goodie bag for your furry friend on arrival is great for keeping them smiling during their trip. Hop on and off the train for lots of great walkies and pawse for a while at the dog-friendly cafés along the way. Don’t forget to take your key card with you to receive 20% off.
Hop off at Dolgoch Station to discover hidden trails and lots of places for Fido to splash around.
Harlech Castle
A visit to Wales wouldn’t be complete without a trip to a castle - there are over 600 of them, after all. Harlech Castle sits high above the coast, with stunning views over Cardigan Bay and beyond. And now you can visit with your furry friend too - ground floor levels only though, so you’ll have to take it in turns to pop to the top and admire the view. Book a table in the dog-friendly bar for the pawfect place to enjoy your lunch with your four-legged friend.
Look out for Mia, the resident Chow Chow.
See for yourself why the Trefeddian is a hound’s heaven! There is so much to see and do, so bring them along to explore this pooch-perfect destination and make happy memories together on the coast.
