A long journey but worth it. Portmeirion is a fantasy, italiante village on the west coast of Wales, and you will travel through some lovely scenery to get there. I recommend everyone goes there on a SUNNY day, otherwise the 'ice cream colours' of the buildings will lose their impact. The 1960's TV show was made there, and has a cult following who have conventions there every year. Porthmadog isn't far away, either, and also worth the journey.

Family Fun
About 30 minutes by car. A fabulous Zoo, featured in the Secret Life of the Zoo TV series, a world class, ethical and forward thinking centre of excellence, focused on conservation of thousands of species.
Home of Boris, a chimpanzee who was found in a pet shop in Manhattan in the 60's, and who was eventually rehomed at Chester in 1969. It's a wonderful story worth googling! An old man now, he was alpha male for a while.*
UPDATE *Sadly, Boris died on the 26th July, 2024, aged 58
