With some terrific day trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to soak up everything that Caernarfon, 17 miles away, has to offer. Mount Snowdon should be high up on your list here. Caernarfon Castle and Rhyd Ddu Path are terrific attractions too. The locals are also likely to point you toward Denbighshire, 20 miles away. If you only have time for one thing here, make sure it’s Ruthin Castle. (But we’d also highly recommend Ruthin Gaol and Ruthin Craft Centre.)
