Another bit of annual leave for me means another Welsh adventure! As much as I desperately miss my city breaks abroad, I’m loving seeing parts of the world a lot closer to home, and enjoying the beauty that is Britain.
We’re staying in Anglesey in a converted pig sty (obvs) and opted for a pit stop en route in Llangollen. Thanks to the AllTrails we were able to whip up the rather steep hill to Castell Dinas Brân. It was pretty windy up there, but the medieval ruins were a great place to explore and take in the surrounding views. Unfortunately the way back down was also on the steep (and muddy) side, but thanks to the trusty poles, we all made it down in one piece.
As we love to cram loads in to our days, and as the light was thinking of leaving us, we popped to the Co-Op for a quick sustenance stop before heading to another cheeky waterfall. Praise the Lord for the £3.50 meal deal 🤣
The last stop before the roadtrip to Angelsey was Horseshoe Falls. It has been awarded Canal World Heritage so I had high hopes! Unfortunately it’s a half circular weir, at the bottom of a grassy slope. It is however a very peaceful place and one where I would be very happy to have a picnic (should have thought about this before we gobbled the meal deal in the car in the car park)
Top tip for Airbnbers- arrive at your destination in daylight when the instructions are a bit confusing. We originally pulled into a questionable estate with equally questionable youths. But after lots of driving around incredibly lost and a few phone calls later, we found our home for the next 5 days.
