During your stay with us in Ty’n Rhos, why not take the time to discover one of the finer attractions that the surrounding areas have to offer? Based in the historic town of Caernarfon, which is a sight to see in of itself, the Caernarfon Air World is a nostalgic trip ideal for all those with an interest in aviation. A stone’s throw away from our hotel in Snowdonia, it represents a fascinating day out for the whole family.
Boasting a wide array of the finest planes to take to the skies, the Air World has been providing a source of interest since 1988. Established by a board of trustees who are all passionate about aviation, the operation is mostly non-profit with the large base of employees being mainly voluntary – a fine indication that you’re in the hands of professionals during your visit. Admission is free for all but donations are greatly appreciated.
As for the planes themselves, why not admire the legendary Harriers, take a look in the cockpit of a Hawker or appreciate a Westland Whirlwind in all its glory. They’re all preserved to the highest quality with staff on hand to maintain them and to field any questions for eager visitors. Also, pick up a souvenir during your visit to their shop which has all the memorabilia you could want to help you savour an unforgettable day, taking in all of the secrets of planes of the past.
You can also enjoy a breathtaking pleasure flight which cruises atop the castles of North West Wales and the famous mountains of Snowdonia, an experience which is not to be missed. The bird’s-eye view also encompasses plenty of famous castles including Caernarfon’s infamous fort. When your feet are placed firmly back on the ground, enjoy the museum which has plenty to keep you interested. Ranging from vintage newspaper articles to intriguing films on air travel of the past, this could be the ideal place to visit during your stay.
