Experience the Fron Goch Garden Centre
Open 364 days of the year
We’ve all come to focus on what we eat and where it comes from all more in the past few years. Consequently, our range of seeds, vegetable plants, fruit tress and herbs has increased hugely (season dependant of course) and we even hold weekend workshops during the spring – check our website out for details.
On the topic of food, if you don’t wish to grow it or just want to compliment your own harvest then visit Hooton’s Farm Shop here for a mouth watering selection including meat, cheeses, eggs and seasonal fruit and veg.
You can even satisfy your desire for country style home interiors here, enjoy the display or even order online at Touches InteriorsOur Best Bits
From sedate scenic train journeys to exhilarating birds eye ziplines or adrenalin fuelled downhill bike rides - you can do it all right here!

Fishing
The locality's claim to angling fame is in having not only good runs of salmon but also excellent runs of sea trout (sewin)
The locality's claim to angling fame is in having not only good runs of salmon but also excellent runs of sea trout (sewin); this implies that if river levels are too low or the weather too bright for successful salmon or sewin fishing during the day, there are, at least, reasonable prospects for sewin fishing at night.
Walking in Wales
Wales is open for walking all the year round
Fast Facts:
• Anglesey has an extensive network of coastal and inland paths for walkers
• The 125 mile Coastal Path which is suitable for walkers of all abilities and in parts for cyclists and horse riders covers 95% of the coast, crossing farmland, coastal heath, dunes, salt-marsh, foreshore, cliffs and pockets of woodland
• The Coastal Path links 36 coastal villages and towns and is a fantastic circular route for anyone
• There are over 80 churches on Anglesey and half of these are on the Coastal Path
• St Dwynwen’s Day is the Welsh patron saint of lovers, which makes her the Welsh equivalent of St Valentine. She founded a convent on Llanddwyn and the remains of Dwynwen’s church can still be seen todayWalks in Snowdonia
But if you are feeling energetic and want to say that you've climbed Wales and England's highest mountain at 3,200 ft and incidentally Britain's most climbed mountain- then perhaps you're in the mood to tackle Snowdon.
Welsh Love Spoons
The young man would spend hours carving the spoon with his own hands, in the hope that the girl would accept it. If the girl accepted the spoon, she would demonstrate her interest in him and they would commence on a relationship, which is the origin of the word 'spooning'.
Young men had a lot of time on their hands during the long winter evenings, and while some would turn to poetry or composing songs, others would carve all kinds of things such as kitchen utensils or toys for the children from spare pieces of wood.
It is easy to imagine a young man after a hard day's work, in a period of no radio or television or cars, spending his leisure time during dark evenings carving a spoon for the girl he loved. Spoons could also suggest food on the table, and a cosy family life, which would impress on the girl his ability to care for her and a family.
