A Day in North Wales

Suzie - Ahh Wales!! So good to see you again 😀😀😀 We booked a tour with BusyBus Tours to travel to this amazing country and it was fantastic!!

We started off in the beautiful seaside village of Llandudno where we walked along the pier. It was the first time I had ever seen a pier with rides, shops and entertainment in real life!

We then travelled to gorgeous Conwy, home of Conwy Castle built by Edward I to bolster his stronghold position in North Wales. We also had lunch at Fisherman's and I had my first fish and chips since I have been in the UK! It was delicious!! Conwy is surrounded by walls, making it a walled town, built again by Edward to keep the Welsh out and the invading English in. They were a bit hard to walk owing to their state and size. And it was very windy!

We then travelled to the beautiful Snowdonia National Park which was absolutely stunning. Everywhere, mountains, beautiful waterfalls, nature and sheep!

We then drove into the village of Betws-y-Coed which roughly translates to Chapel in the Forest where I had a delicious ice cream - Biscoffi in a waffle cone 😀 British people love Biscoffi and so do we!! I had wanted to visit this village ever since Michael Portillo visited during his 'Great British Railway Journeys' show which served as my inspiration for my last UK journey.

From Betws-y-Coed, we travelled to the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct which had canal boats sailing across it into the village of Llangollen. We walked across the aqueduct and were rewarded with 360° views around the Trevor Basin.

Then we drove back to Chester 💜 A beautiful fun day was had by all!! 😀😀😀😀Læs mere
