Slate Museum Revisited

A rare dry day in December but we were the  the only visitors. Different to our last time there when it was crowded but still enjoyable.

Moel Famau to Ruthin

Llanddwyn Beach

At the south-western tip of Anglesey there is Blue Flag beach with super sand dunes. Llanddwyn Beach is backed by forest and has views of Snowdonia.  

Arrive on Anglesey - perhaps stop at Plas Newdd (NT) for a while then take the road to Newborough. Good stops for refreshments on the way are Hootons Farm S hop  (visited by and televised by the Hairy Bikers) and the more expensive Marram Gras Cafe and Restaurant (visited by and televised by Terry Wogan). 

In the summer months there is a charge to park but it is excellent value to access this amazing beach and forest area with lots of good paths - most of them suitable for pushchairs. The car park is huge and has good toilet facilities. 

The long ribbon of sand leads to Llanddwyn Island, reputed to be the home of Saint Dwynwen, the patron saint of lovers.

Bodnant - Bright and Beautiful

Path to Llyn Idwal

The last Saturday of October and the end of half term so despite dull weather the cafe area and the path to Llyn Idwal was busy with hikers and dog walkers. It was still possible, however, to enjoy some quiet times. 

West Bay Llandudno

West Bay, Llandudno - much calmer and quieter than North Bay. Good little playground for young children and a pool that is used by model boat enthusiasts These images were taken in late afternoon at the end of October so the lighting was low. It is an easy walk to the North Bay but it was half term so the land train was still running.

Bodnant's Autumn Hues

Here again! We cannot resist this colourful spectacular.

Dusk at Rhyl Harbour

There has been a harbour here for over seven hundred years. It was created to serve Rhuddlan Castle. Recent changes include the dragon bridge, a cafe and bike hire shop. Visitors will soon be able to enjoy a  pleasant walkway in to Rhyl.
