Cheshire Oaks to Llandudno via Rhuddlan

After walking Ellen to school we left Mold and drove 20 mins to Cheshire Oaks outlet village to replace some of our worn out gear. K got some new walking shoes and a backpack whilst I have managed to replace my leaky waterproof jacket.
Next it was off to Rhuddlan Castle.
This was special for me because whilst doing my family history I found my 21 great grandmother Elizabeth Plantagenet was born here on 7th Aug 1282. Sadly it was closed during the winter months so we could only take photos from afar.
Lastly we drove to the coastal town of Llandudno and just for there in the fading light - at 3.45pm!!!
We checked into Carmel House a newly renovated B+B on the seafront which was actually v nice for the cheapest option around.
Walking along the wide open promenade reminded K of France and me of Blackpool!!!
A wine and an Indian later it was pouring with rain but we had no option but to walk the 20mins back.... and yes I had left my new jacket in my bag!!!
Tmrw if the weather is dry we will go to Caernarfon for more castles and town.
