If you’re looking for a family holiday that swaps busy theme parks for fresh air, wide open spaces and unforgettable adventures, North Wales has everything you need.
Nestled at the foot of Moel Famau, Famau Cabins are perfectly placed for families wanting to spend quality time together outdoors. Whether you’re climbing hills, spotting wildlife, exploring woodland trails or enjoying an ice cream after a day of adventure, there’s something here for every age.
Our Famau Cabin and Arthur Cabin comfortably sleep two adults and up to two children, making them the ideal base for families looking to explore the Clwydian Hills before returning to relax in their private hot tub.
Here are ten of our favourite family adventures, all within easy reach of the cabins.
- Conquer Moel Famau Together
No family stay would be complete without a trip to the summit of Moel Famau.
Standing at 554 metres, it’s the highest hill in the Clwydian Range and one of North Wales’ best-loved walking destinations. While younger walkers may need a few snack stops along the way, reaching the famous Jubilee Tower is a fantastic achievement and a memory they’ll be talking about long after the holiday ends.
Top Tip: Set off earlier in the morning during the summer holidays to enjoy cooler temperatures and quieter paths.

- Become Woodland Explorers
Not every walk needs to be a climb.
The woodland trails around Coed Moel Famau are perfect for little legs, offering shaded paths, birdsong, butterflies and plenty of opportunities to spot wildlife along the way.
Take your time, listen for woodpeckers, collect interesting leaves, and let children enjoy nature at their own pace.
Sometimes the simplest adventures become the most memorable.
- Pack a Picnic with a View
Few things beat a picnic in the Welsh countryside.
Pick up fresh supplies from the local village shop before heading out for the day and find a scenic spot overlooking the Clwydian Hills.
Whether you stop halfway up Moel Famau, enjoy lunch at Loggerheads Country Park or simply eat on your own private decking back at the cabin, food somehow always tastes better outdoors.
Don’t forget a blanket, reusable water bottles and a camera – the views are worth capturing.
- Visit Loggerheads Country Park
Just a short drive from Famau Cabins, Loggerheads Country Park is one of North Wales’ favourite family destinations.
Children can enjoy riverside walks, woodland trails, bridges, stepping stones and plenty of opportunities to paddle when the weather is warm. There are shorter routes for younger families and longer walks for those with older children looking for more of an adventure.
After exploring, why not stop for refreshments before heading back to the cabins?

- Treat Everyone to Ice Cream
No summer holiday is complete without an ice cream.
After a morning exploring the hills, reward little walkers with a well-earned treat from one of the many local cafés or ice cream stops nearby.
It’s often these simple traditions – a family selfie, sticky fingers and a bench with a view – that become the moments everyone remembers.

- Wander Through the Market Towns
If you fancy taking a break from the hills, the nearby market towns of Ruthin, Denbigh and Mold are all well worth a visit.
Browse independent shops, stop for lunch in a local café, enjoy an ice cream in the sunshine or simply wander the historic streets. During the summer months, many towns host local markets, events and family activities, adding even more to explore.
These make a lovely change of pace after a morning spent outdoors.
- Walk a Section of Offa’s Dyke Path
You don’t need to complete the entire National Trail to enjoy it!
The famous Offa’s Dyke Path passes through the Clwydian Range, and there are plenty of family-friendly sections to explore. Older children will love following in the footsteps of walkers who travel the length of the England and Wales border, while younger explorers can enjoy shorter stretches with plenty of stops along the way.
The trail offers incredible views and is one of the reasons so many visitors choose to stay in this part of North Wales.

- Keep an Eye Out for Wildlife
One of the joys of staying on a working family farm is being surrounded by nature.
Depending on the time of day, you might spot birds of prey soaring overhead, rabbits darting through the grass or sheep grazing peacefully in the surrounding fields.
Children often love simply watching the countryside come to life, proving that sometimes the best entertainment doesn’t need a screen.
Remember to respect the animals and enjoy them from a distance, helping us keep the farm a safe and peaceful place for everyone.
- Make the Most of the Longer Summer Evenings
One of the best things about visiting in July is the extra daylight.
After dinner, head out for an evening stroll, enjoy a game on the grass or simply relax on your private decking while the sun begins to set over the Clwydian Hills.
And once the children are tucked up in bed, it’s time for the grown-ups to enjoy a peaceful soak in the hot tub beneath the evening sky.
These slower moments are often the ones families remember most.
- End Every Adventure Back at Your Cabin
Every great day out deserves a cosy ending.
Whether you’ve climbed Moel Famau, explored woodland trails or discovered somewhere new, returning to your cabin is all part of the experience.
Cook dinner together in your fully equipped kitchen, share stories from the day around the dining table, enjoy the fresh countryside air from your private decking and start planning tomorrow’s adventure.
That’s what family holidays are all about.
If you’re looking for a little more space, both Famau Cabin and Arthur Cabin comfortably sleep up to four guests, making them ideal for family breaks in North Wales.
