Dead Rabbit Cave

Wild rabbits once scurried through these limestone passages, giving this modest cave system its rather macabre moniker. Located in the hills above Llandudno Junction, Dead Rabbit Cave offers a proper underground adventure for those willing to scramble through rocky terrain to find it.

The cave itself isn't massive - you'll spend maybe an hour exploring if you're thorough. What makes it special is the effort required to reach it and the satisfying sense of discovery when you do. Families with older children who enjoy a bit of rough walking will get the most from this outing, though anyone with mobility issues should give it a miss.

Getting there involves a decent walk across uneven ground, so proper walking boots are essential. The entrance isn't signposted, adding to the adventure but also meaning you'll need to do your homework beforehand or risk a fruitless trek.

For those staying at nearby parks like Dinarth Hall or Tan Y Bryn Glamping, it makes a cracking half-day excursion when combined with exploring the broader Conwy countryside. The lack of facilities means bringing a torch and taking all your rubbish with you - this is wild Wales at its most uncompromising. Worth the effort if you fancy something genuinely off the beaten track.
