Bodafon Farm and Owls Trust

Swooping silently through the Conwy countryside, barn owls and tawny owls call this working farm their home. Bodafon Farm and Owls Trust combines traditional farming with dedicated owl conservation, giving visitors a rare chance to see these magnificent birds of prey up close.

Families with animal-mad children will absolutely love this place. The trust rehabilitates injured owls and provides sanctuary for birds that can't be returned to the wild. You'll meet resident owls during handling sessions and learn about their hunting techniques and nocturnal habits from passionate keepers who really know their stuff.

Expected to spend a good two hours here if you want to make the most of it. The farm setting near Llandudno Junction feels properly rural, yet it's easily accessible from several holiday parks in the area. Tan Y Bryn Glamping and Dinarth Hall Caravan & Camping are both within walking distance if you fancy the exercise.

Best to call ahead to check opening times and whether any special owl experiences are running. The trust relies heavily on volunteers and donations, so don't expect glossy visitor facilities - this is the real deal, not a theme park. That authenticity makes it all the more special for visitors who appreciate genuine wildlife conservation work.
