Some places become memorable when you spend an entire day there. Others leave an impression after just fifteen minutes. That was our experience at Nant Peris.

Our first impressions of Beaumaris were shaped by its magnificent castle and peaceful seafront. After enjoying views across the Menai Strait, admiring the Beaumaris Throne and photographing the Victorian pier, we wandered back into the heart of town through a narrow lane between The Bulkeley Hotel and Pier House Café & Bistro.

One of the things we enjoy most about travelling is discovering independent shops. Every town and village has its own personality, and nowhere was that more obvious than in Beddgelert. Unlike many tourist destinations dominated by chain stores, Beddgelert is filled with family-run businesses, artisan makers, cosy cafés and gift shops where every visit feels […]

When people think of Beddgelert, the first thing that often comes to mind is the legendary tale of Gelert, the faithful hound of Prince Llywelyn. For us, it was the rivers.

Some places make a wonderful first impression simply because of how relaxed they feel. That was Beaumaris. After another memorable day exploring Snowdonia, including a coffee stop in Bangor and our drive across the historic Menai Suspension Bridge, we arrived in Beaumaris on a quiet Sunday afternoon.

Some villages instantly make you slow down. Beddgelert was one of those places. After a full day exploring Anglesey the day before, we pointed the car in the opposite direction and headed into the heart of Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park. We had already enjoyed an unexpected stop at the beautiful Llyn y Dywarchen, where mirror-like […]

There are planned stops on every road trip, and then there are the ones you never expected. After spending an unforgettable day exploring Anglesey, we headed in the opposite direction the following morning, towards the mountains of Eryri (Snowdonia).

Our second day in North Wales was one we had been looking forward to for months. We have been talking about visiting the Isle of Anglesey for a while now. We had our chance in spring this year and we took it. Part of that trip was discovering the bridges that cross to the Anglesey. […]

Some places leave a lasting impression before you even reach the main attraction. That was certainly our experience at South Stack Lighthouse, one of the most photographed landmarks in North Wales and a destination that combines dramatic coastal scenery, fascinating history and incredible wildlife watching opportunities.

Some places immediately feel like a holiday destination the moment you arrive. The sea air, the colourful shopfronts, the sound of people chatting outside cafés and the sight of a wide sandy beach stretching towards the horizon all combine to create that feeling.
