Prestatyn Things to Do Tips by scotlandscotour

Prestatyn Beach - Sand and Flowers

Prestatyn Beach.

Whether you are dipping your toes after a long walk of the Offa's Dyke Footpath; building sand castles, wondering the sand dunes for flowers, or splashing in the waves at sunset - you really should see Prestayn Beach.

Wind Farms
Off shore you'll see wind generators and distant gas drilling rigs, maybe some passing ships on the horizon. You will see very few people - and can walk for miles - try going east to Talacre Lighthouse.

Radioactivity
The Irish Sea gets polluted by waste discharges from the Sellafield Nuclear Reprocessing Plant in Cumbria (Lake District of England). A small risk but I thought I'd better tell you.

Address: Prestatyn, North Wales, UK

Directions: North East Wales coastline - 25 miles west of Chester.

Roman Bath House - Archaeological Excavation

One of those places you dismiss cos no one else goes there - except its one of the most significant Roman sites in Wales.

A fantastic place to explore - without the tourists - or paying!!!

Directions: Meliden Road

Prestatyn Hillside - Walking Paradise & Great View

You must see the view from the top of Prestatyn Hillside. Luckily you can drive there, but the walking up this steep little hillside is fantastic. Walkers finishing the OD footpath are treated to incredible views across the water with a backdrop of the Snowdonia mountains, and a "birds-eye" view of the town below, plus its downhill then all the way to the sea!
