2026 Rhyl Travel Guide: must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transport & travel experiences (updated in February)

I stayed in the Travelodge on Rhyl seafront ,it’s within walking distance of the town centre and shops , pubs and restaurants. There is an aquarium, cinema and indoor waterpark situated on the seafront and also various amusement arcades and adventure golf . There is a long white sandy beach and other beaches in nearby Kinmel bay and Prestatyn. If you need a train Rhyl station is 10min walk from the seafront and nearby Llandudno is 30mins away by train ,also a great place to visit

#falladventures Banff offers a wide range of fun activities for every season, from iconic scenic views to thrilling outdoor adventures. Given your general interest, here are some of the most popular options, grouped by season. Winter fun in Banff Banff Gondola: Ride to the top of Sulphur Mountain for panoramic views of the snowy mountain ranges. At the top, you can explore the observation decks, a museum, and even enjoy a meal at the Sky Bistro.

#falladventures The snow in Banff is incredibly popular and is a primary draw for visitors from around the world. Its popularity stems from a combination of stunning scenery, reliable snow conditions, and extensive winter activities. World-Class Skiing & Snowboarding: Banff National Park is home to three premier ski resorts (known collectively as SkiBig3): Banff Sunshine, Lake Louise Ski Resort, and Mt. Norquay. These resorts offer over 8,000 acres of skiable terrain with diverse runs for all skill levels, from beginner to expert.

#falladventures This small islet is one of the most famous and photographed spots in the Canadian Rockies. It is a remote location, about 14 km (8.7 miles) from the main docks, accessible primarily via a scenic boat cruise or private non-motorized watercraft (canoes, kayaks). Walking on the island itself is generally prohibited due to its cultural significance to the Indigenous Stoney Nation. Glacial-fed Waters: The lake's distinctive blue-green color is due to the "rock flour" (silt) from the surrounding glaciers. The water is very cold, so swimming is only recommended for the hardiest visitors.

#hellohalloween Nestled among the rolling hills of North Wales, Bodelwyddan Castle is more than a museum or landmark—it’s a quiet retreat where art, history, and solitude blend into something deeply soothing. For a solo traveler like me, this escape was about listening—to silence, to stories, and to myself. Itinerary Day 1 – Arrival & First Impressions Reached by midday, and the sight of Bodelwyddan’s white stone walls gleaming against a backdrop of green felt almost ethereal. After checking into a nearby countryside inn, I spent the afternoon exploring the castle grounds—peaceful gardens, sculptures, and hidden paths that seemed designed for introspection. As the sun dipped low, I lingered by the Marble Gallery, where soft light filtered through stained glass, turning quiet into poetry. Day 2 – Art, History & Stillness The morning began with a guided walk through the castle’s Victorian rooms, each one echoing with elegance and echoes of the past. I found myself lost in the art galleries, where still portraits seemed to return my gaze. Later, I wandered to the nearby Kinmel Park Trail, a gentle path perfect for solitary reflection. Back at the castle café, I enjoyed a simple lunch overlooking the lawns—a moment that needed no words. Day 3 – The Farewell Walk On my last morning, I took one final walk through the formal gardens, the scent of damp earth and wildflowers grounding me in the present. Traveling alone made every sound—birds, wind, footsteps—feel more vivid. I left with a quiet gratitude, lighter than when I arrived. Travel Tips • Getting There: Easy drive from Rhyl or St. Asaph; parking available onsite. • Best Time: Late spring for blooms, or early autumn for solitude. • Bring: A light jacket, your camera, and time—this place rewards unhurried wandering. • Nearby: Visit the small chapel and woodland trail for extra peace. At Bodelwyddan Castle, solitude wasn’t lonely—it was luminous, like walking through a dream that softly reminded me who I am. #SoloTravel #BodelwyddanCastle #WalesEscape #TravelMindfully #CastleRetreat #WanderWithPurpose #PeacefulPlaces #SoloJourney

Waiting for delayed train to Crewe

Rhyl did not disappoint! Fab event at a fab venue .

Tyre punctured in Uk

Rhyl is a seaside town in Denbighshire on the north east coast of Wales. It was a cold January day and I was getting the ferry from Holyhead to Dublin the next morning so decided to have a look around, usually this seaside town would be busy in the summer months with holidaymakers , but like most resorts and being the middle of winter it was a ghost town . A few amusement arcades remained open and I killed a few hours in them and took a walk up the seafront and along the nice white sandy beach .
