Mountain and other bike hire

Betws Bikes is the nearest bike hire and seems to offer a pretty comprehensive service. The Marin Trail is much praised in the mountain biking fraternity. The community-developed Penmachno trail is not widely advertised. Antur Stiniog offers downhill mountain biking and a great range of other outdoor activities.

Surf Snowdonia

Opened in August 2015 to great fanfare and does look exciting.

Not outdoors exactly, but a big attraction and nearby. Imagine giant trampolines, walkways, slides and tunnels all made from netting. Now picture this suspended in a slate cavern hidden underground and you’ll have the right idea.

Tree Top Adventure Wales

Tree Top Adventure is a unique, fully equipped high ropes centre available to a wide range of customers.
