Rhyl

Travel Guide
Bodelwyddan Castle featuring heritage elements and chateau or palace
Follow in the footsteps of the Victorians in this historic resort by the sea. Ride the miniature railway around a scenic lake.

Rhyl is a pleasant coastal town and weekend resort, especially popular with English and Welsh families. The resort was initially created as a getaway for wealthy Victorians. Today it features sandy beaches, historic buildings and an array of family activities. Browse the many shops and restaurants overlooking the water.

Take the whole family to the Children’s Village amusement park for its rides and fun activities. Head to the Marine Lake in the southwestern part of town and watch the ducks. Bring the kids to the Rhyl Miniature Railway that runs around the lake. Inspect the interactive exhibits in the local museum.

Among the town’s cultural highlights is the Rhyl Pavilion Theatre on the seafront. Choose from a range of shows, including stand-up comedy, dance performances and concerts, that are staged at this venue. Attend a production at Rhyl Little Theatre, a stage for children to act and perform routines.

Enjoy the warm days in summer with trips to Rhyl Beach, a wide stretch of sand that is the nucleus of the town. Arrive early at Rhyl East Beach to go jogging and watch the sunrise. People-watch from the café and beachcomb for marine treasures. The water is cold year-round and winter brings freezing weather and occasional snow.

Stay in the town as a base for exploring the rolling, green hills of the North Wales countryside. Just south of the town is the village of Bodelwyddan, where you will find the Bodelwyddan Castle. Wander through the landscape gardens and bring your children to the butterfly house. Admire the works of art on loan from the National Portrait Gallery that line the walls of this manor house.

Find the town overlooking the Irish Sea on the northern coast of Wales. It is just 50 miles (80 kilometers) west of Liverpool in England and near Snowdonia National Park. Fly to the Liverpool John Lennon Airport and take a train to Rhyl Railway Station.

Enjoy Rhyl’s sandy beaches, quaint retreats and majestic country estates.

"The staff at this hotel are amazing. Okay there was a problem with hot water but they were all so great that it was a minor inconvenience. The rooms are incredibly clean and well designed. Although right in the centre of all that is going on there was no noise and we slept very well every night"
