Our last destination before leaving the majestic mountains of Snowdonia behind was Zip World, in the historic mining town of Blaenau Ffestiniog. The old slate mine has been turned into an incredible adventure park, complete with the largest zip zone in Europe, Zip World Titan. Unfortunately for us, the over 2-kilometer long zipline is only open from spring until autumn. Titan is definitely something we want to experience, though, and this is one of those destinations we hope to get back to as soon as possible!
The massive zipline is not the only adventure Zip World has to offer. The rest of the activities are hidden inside the old mine. We got to experience Bounce Below, a massive maze of bouncy cargo nets and tube slides. Once we found our footing and got over the fact that the highest nets are REALLY high up in the cave, we had a blast! I can imagine the place is pure heaven for kids but even us (almost) adults enjoyed exploring all the nooks and tunnels of the site and even managed to capture some slow motion video of our bouncing.

Back in 2005, Doctor Who literally exploded back onto our screens, when the London department store that Rose worked at went up in flames… except for the London part. The scene in question was actually shot on St Mary’s street, using House of Fraser as a stand in. Shops on ...
