Are you planning on visiting North Wales this summer? Here are our top 10 outdoor attractions the whole family can enjoy!
Top 10 outdoor attractions across North Wales you can enjoy this summer as lockdown eases.
Have you heard the great news? We have finally been given the go-ahead and are excited to welcome back English residence to all our Lyons Holiday Parks across North Wales from April 12th, as lockdown restrictions begin to ease. Freedom!!! Well… not quite, but we are looking forward to our visitors restoring the life, energy, and excitement across our parks.
Although many facilities and attractions across Wales remain closed, the Welsh Government are set to review and consider the reopening of outdoor attractions and outdoor hospitality in light of the positive rollout of the COVID19 vaccination programme. In the meantime, you can enjoy serene strolls through the North Wales countryside or along golden sandy beaches.
If the incredible countryside and coastal settings aren’t enough to convince you to visit North Wales, here are our top 10 outdoor attractions you and the family can (hopefully) enjoy, come April 22nd!
