The boardroom is a massive bouldering and climbing centre and is ideal for children and families. They do fun taster sessions (£15 for 1hour) but it may be better to pay for an Introduction session as you can then spend as much time as you want there. Best to phone and book and they can talk you through the options.

This is a National Trust property within a 15 minute drive. Built at the end of the 1600s and mainly passed down through the Yorke family. It well preserved as a victorian stately home, with beautiful grounds. More fascinating are the stories about Erddig's servants which are in abundance.
