Enjoy one last family winter break this year in the North Wales Borderlands. The picturesque landscape and historic sites are an ideal setting for a family break.

There is a range of actives to entertain all of the family from an Olympic sized ice rink to a woodland skills centre.

Deeside Ice Rink is in the National Centre for Ice Sports in Wales attracting over 100,000 skaters every year from all over the country. Although it is an Olympic sized ice rink you don't have to be an Olympic skater, in fact far from it. Ice skating is the perfect exercise for all ages, as it is one of the few sports in which the whole family can take part in. Deeside also has a skate park that has recently opened, for any avid skaters wanting to have a go.

Why not explore the nooks and crannies of Ruthin Gaol which was once a prison. It is now one of North Wales' most fascinating buildings offering a range of activities such as ghost hunting, commitment ceremonies and arty parties. You can also view the Pentonville cell block and learn about the Victorian period and how prisoners lived there life.

For a fun filled day out the Greenfield Valley Heritage Park is an award winning museum set in a 70-acre heritage park with woodlands, reservoirs and ancient monuments. The park has an attractive collection of original and reconstructed local buildings provide a fascinating insight into the past.
