Oxford
2023年4月20日, イングランド ⋅ ☀️ 54 °F
So many really cool buildings, but I suppose that's to be expected in Oxford. More Harry Potter filming sites, and one of the colleges has a deer park! The plain short-ish tower you see is Saxonもっと詳しく
Ashmolean Museum
2023年4月20日, イングランド ⋅ 🌬 59 °F
Yep, another museum :P I just can't help myself. Bonus: more shots of the city center as I was leaving Ashmolean for the train station. The building with the Labyrinth banners is the actual museum.
Chester
2023年4月21日, イングランド ⋅ ☁️ 54 °F
Chester is a little like Wells in that it was actually even neater than I expected. The little streets with all the half-timbered buildings are the Chester Rows, a unique shopping area with very old,もっと詳しく
Conwy
2023年4月22日, ウェールズ
The rest of the town is also neat! The views of the quay are from the bridge next to the suspension one. The house featured is Plas Mawr, considered the best-preserved Elizabethan house in Britain.もっと詳しく
Conwy Walls hike
2023年4月22日, ウェールズ
Really cool and well-preserved medieval walls! Lots of gorgeous views as well.
Conwy Castle
2023年4月22日, ウェールズ
The castle is so evocative, it might be my favorite so far, and I got there early enough that there were very few other people. The estuary is picturesque, too, and the bridge pictured is actually theもっと詳しく
Betws-y-Coed + Coed Tan Dinas hike
2023年4月23日, ウェールズ ⋅ 🌧 46 °F
This was my Snowdonia base, one of two hiking areas I'd planned to tackle (and the only one I actually got to). Beautiful area, even if it is one of the more touristed spots in Snowdonia. The hike wasもっと詳しく
Snowdonia scenic bus ride
2023年4月23日, ウェールズ ⋅ ☁️ 48 °F
I missed one bus, so I had to skip one hike, but the scenic drive made up for it quite a bit.
Caernarfon Castle
2023年4月23日, ウェールズ ⋅ ☁️ 52 °F
Got another castle in! This one is larger than Conwy, but more touristy and is set up accordingly. Definitely worth going to, especially for all its neat history and expansiveness, but Cowny Castle isもっと詳しく
Holyhead and the Irish Sea
2023年4月24日, ウェールズ ⋅ 🌬 46 °F
Wandered around Holyhead while waiting for my ferry -- which as a "ferry" I expected to be fairly small, but it was a full-size cruise ship (first time for that). Obviously in-between ports out on theもっと詳しく
Cliffs of Moher
2023年4月25日, アイルランド ⋅ ☁️ 48 °F
I've seen quite a few scenic places on this trip, but this was easily one of the prettiest places I've ever been to 😍
The Burren
2023年4月25日, アイルランド ⋅ ☁️ 50 °F
Otherworldly landscape (was a seabed once upon a time) that was one of the inspirations for Middle Earth.
Galway
2023年4月25日, アイルランド ⋅ ☁️ 54 °F
Quirky town that was a lot of fun to walk through. Very artsy type place, with street musicians around every corner. Lots of tasty food!
Dublin
2023年4月26日, アイルランド ⋅ ☁️ 50 °F
Very cool vibe to Dublin that's unique to any of the places I've been thus far. It has an interesting mix of old and new as well, including the city's history itself. O'Connell Street, where I'mもっと詳しく
Trinity College
2023年4月26日, アイルランド ⋅ ☁️ 54 °F
Another neat campus, this one comes with the famous Long Room and the Book of Kells! I might have discreetly snuck a picture from the side of the book, although you weren't supposed to :P
National Museum of Archaeology
2023年4月26日, アイルランド ⋅ ☁️ 54 °F
Okay, this should be the last big museum I'm doing -- but come on, I couldn't forego an archaeology museum. This one has several iconic items, and is especially renowned for its treasury, includingもっと詳しく
Knowth
2023年4月27日, アイルランド ⋅ ☁️ 52 °F
The largest neolithic passage tomb in the world, and also the world's biggest collection of megalithic art. Really neat site! And they're a seasonal site that only allows small groups in for tours atもっと詳しく
Newgrange
2023年4月27日, アイルランド ⋅ ☁️ 54 °F
Knowth's more famous sister-site. This was also very, very cool. This is the one where at sunrise on the Winter Solstice, light floods the inner passage. I did get to go inside it, which wasもっと詳しく
Boyne Valley
2023年4月27日, アイルランド ⋅ ☁️ 55 °F
Site of the largest battle ever to take place on Irish soil, back in 1690. The cafe at the estate house there also had some pretty gardens.
Monasterboice
2023年4月27日, アイルランド ⋅ ☁️ 55 °F
10th century monastery ruins with a graveyard still in use. Also the site of a mass grave pit from the Great Famine. The huge Celtic crosses pictured are also from the 900s. The tower is one of theもっと詳しく
Killarney and Ross Castle hike
2023年4月28日, アイルランド ⋅ ☁️ 61 °F
Started off in Killarney itself, then took the scenic route through Killarney National Park. Obviously not as spectacular as some I've done, like Snowdonia or the Lake District for instance, but stillもっと詳しく
Inch Beach and Dingle Peninsula
2023年4月29日, アイルランド ⋅ ☁️ 57 °F
So much gorgeous scenery on the way to the Slea Head Loop drive!! 😍
Slea Head Loop part 1
2023年4月29日, アイルランド ⋅ ☁️ 54 °F
Parts of this reminded me a lot of Big Sur. I can definitely see why this is a famous drive, plus it's a little less busy and touristed than the Ring of Kerry, despite being similar in a lot of ways.もっと詳しく
Slea Head Loop part 2
2023年4月29日, アイルランド ⋅ ☁️ 54 °F
Here's the rest! Some of the islands pictured are the famous Baskets, and one in this set was a filming location for Star Wars.
