It can be a struggle to find activities on holiday that children will
enjoy, but in Wales there are plenty of options. These five family
favourites are surefire ways to keep the kids entertained... Caernarfon Castle
This magnificent medieval fortress was built on the Welsh
coastline in the 13th century. Caernarfon Castle (in the Gwynedd town of
the same name; cadw.gov.wales/daysout/caernarfon-castle)
is a historic paradise for children, alive with towers to climb,
ramparts to march along, and (with imagination) princes and princesses
to rescue.
Rhossili Bay
The most splendid of the Gower Peninsula beaches (see nationaltrust.org.uk/rhossili-and-south-gower-coast)
— all three broad miles of it — conceals a mysterious secret. At high
tide, the wreck of the Helvetia, a wooden ship which ran aground in
1887, shows itself. Science Cream
Summer would not be summer without ice cream. But Science Cream, a frozen-treats parlour in Cardiff (sciencecream.co.uk),
produces this child-friendly favourite in a 21st-century way. It blasts
its fantastic flavours — such as Brown Butter Caramel, Triple Shot
Chocolate, Caramelised Hazelnut and Roasted Banana — into iciness with
liquid nitrogen.
Talyllyn Railway
Wales still echoes to the sound of steam trains of yesteryear, and the Talyllyn Railway, near Cardigan Bay at Tywyn (talyllyn.co.uk),
is perhaps the prettiest. It ascends for seven miles along a
narrow-gauge track. Summer often sees “guest appearances” by engines
from the world of Thomas The Tank Engine. The National Eisteddfod
(Alamy)
There is always a buzz when the National Eisteddfod — a great
coming-together, which spins around music, poetry and food — clicks into
gear. This year’s incarnation (eisteddfod.wales;
3-11 August) will take place right by the sea at Cardiff Bay, offering
hundreds of free activities and events for the whole family.

by Dan Edmund Even if you don’t like basketball, it’s very possible you have heard of a man named Yao Ming. He is a Chinese born professional basketball player who played for the Houston Rockets. While that may not sound all that impressive, the thing that really sets him apart is the fact that he is 7 feet 6 inches tall! That’s not a typo. He is really that tall! The great thing is that when Yao Ming is out on the basketball court, he is surrounded by other really tall basketball players. Granted they aren’t as tall as him, but they come within at least a foot of his height. When he’s out and about in the real world though, that’s when you notice a big difference. Here are 46 pictures that show Yao Ming making everyone around him look as small as an ant! 1. 2. Yao Ming and a baby elephant. 3. Yao Ming next to his trainer, kneeling. Look at the height difference. 4. Yao Ming and Luther Head. Luther Head is 6 feet 3 inches tall. 5. 6....
