The sprawling Rhug Estate covers a remarkable 20 square miles in the rugged Dee Valley.
Stop off on your way to Snowdonia and enjoy the estate’s walks (pick up a map from the shop).
Although they must stay on the lead, dogs are welcome, with dog-friendly tables in the cafe and drinking stations dotted round the estate. If you’re in a rush, On The Hoof serves superior fast food and the drive-through coffee is excellent.
