Family adventures in North Wales and Cheshire
Tips for hiking with babies and toddlers

09/02/2026

Hiking with a toddler looks very different to hiking pre-kids - but it’s just as special (even more so! 🫶)

Lily is 3 now, and these little tips have made such a difference to our family walks. Slow, messy, snack-filled adventures… and honestly, I wouldn’t change them.

Full toddler hiking tips are over on the blog (comment ‘toddler’ and i’ll send you a DM with the link!) 💛

Save this for your next family walk!

2026 so far… a series of solo adventures with little L.

This season of My Mountains & Me is definitely a little slower, and I’m embracing every second 🫶

𝐍𝐎𝐖 𝐎𝐏𝐄𝐍: 𝐑𝐨𝐨𝐦 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐦 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐥 🌲

A spellbinding new adventure is now open at Delamere Forest - Forestry England! ✨

Get the children outdoors and follow the Room on the Broom Trail, bringing Julia Donaldson’s much-loved story to life in the heart of the forest. Help the Witch and her friends find lost treasures, collect magical ingredients and enjoy hands-on activities along the way.

Perfect for young explorers, with optional trail packs available to add a little extra woodland magic.

🌿 New on the blog! 🌿

If you’re looking for an easy, family-friendly day out in North Wales, we love Alyn Waters Country Park in Wrexham. It’s perfect for little adventurers - think gentle woodland walks, riverside paddling spots, a brilliant playground, and a lovely café to warm up afterwards.

I’ve put together a full guide to the best walks, facilities, kid-friendly highlights, and everything you need to plan a visit.

If you’ve not been yet, it’s such a lovely spot for a relaxed weekend adventure!

Swipe to get to know me a little better 💚

From mountains to motherhood, life has changed a lot… but the outdoors is still my therapy and my favourite place to reset.

A lovely weekend exploring Anglesey with my two littles 🫶 We had such a great day on Saturday exploring Rhoscolyn in the sunshine - followed by a tasty meal at The White Eagle (100% would recommend!)

Can anyone spot the seal? 🦭

5 Family Walks for October Half Term 📍 North Wales

🏰 Castell Dinas Bran – A steady climb and a proper leg-stretch, rewarded with big views over Llangollen.

🌲 Newborough Forest – Sand, sea and forest – the best mix for an easy walk in Anglesey.

🌿 Alyn Waters Country Park – Flat paths, woodland, and plenty of room for the kids to run. Plus, a fab park at the end!

💧 Betws Y Coed River Walk – A peaceful circular walk along the river, starting in one of my favourite villages in Snowdonia.

🌊 Conwy Falls – A short walk with a big pay-off; the waterfall never disappoints.

3 Easy Walks in the Peak District 🌿

A few highlights from a weekend in the Peak District with the family! All three are easy, family-friendly routes up in the North Peak District area, perfect for a day out with little legs (or kids in carriers 👶).

1️⃣ West Nab – sweeping views and open moorland.
2️⃣ Dovestone Reservoir – a gentle loop with plenty of picnic spots.
3️⃣ Pots and Pans via Alderman’s Hill – a bit of a climb to start, but worth it for the memorial views at the top.

All close to Dovestone Reservoir - peaceful, scenic, and perfect for families who love a good explore. 💚 Save for your next Peak District adventure!

North Wales and Cheshire content to consume later this week 🤣🙌
