North wales with 10 and 8 year old

[redskyatnight]

Have a holiday in North Wales (staying near Caernarfon) planned for the summer. DS (the 10 year old) in particular is at the awkward in between stage - he is now saying basic playgrounds are "babyish" but equally wouldn't spend a day in a museum "oo boring".

We are English Heritage members so will do lots of castle visiting. Hopefully a day or 2 on the beach. Thinking about some shorter walks (don't think either DC would be able to do day walks round Snowdonia).
I see Greenwood Forest Park gets good reviews - but would DS find it too "babyish"?

Any other ideas for days out very gratefully received!

No problem *5madthings" just pm me your address. Don't worry about postage just happy to have people coming to my lovely part of the world. What ages are your dc?
