About Snail Cave

Finding this natural limestone cave tucked away in the hills above Llandudno requires a bit of local knowledge and sturdy footwear. The entrance sits modestly in the rock face, easy to miss if you're not looking for it. Once inside, the cavern opens up into a surprisingly spacious chamber with interesting rock formations and a cool, damp atmosphere that feels refreshingly different from the coastal warmth outside. The cave gets its curious name from the spiral shell fossils embedded in the limestone walls - though you'll need a torch to spot them properly. Families with older children who don't mind a scramble will find it an interesting diversion, but it's not suitable for pushchairs or anyone with mobility issues. The walk to reach it from the nearest parking spot takes about twenty minutes through rough terrain. It's completely free to explore, though there are no facilities or information boards. Allow an hour for the round trip including exploration time. The cave works well as part of a day out from any of the holiday parks around Conwy, particularly if you're staying at Hafan y Gogarth which is closest. Best visited on a dry day when the approach path isn't too slippery.
