Travelled into Wales and down the coast fringed by the Irish Sea to the village of Conwy and Conwy castle, now a ruin. Climbed the towers and strolled the waterfront and streets of this pretty place. Tried Bara Brith the welsh fruitcake before driving into Snowdonia National Park which was just beautiful…lakes, slate Quarries, rugged outcrops of  rhyollitic rock, wild purple heather, sheep, rivulets of clear water, forest and mountain streams. Truly an area of outstanding natural beauty. A stop at  a gorgeous village I can’t pronounce the name of for some fresh Welsh Cakes, which are a cross between a pikelet and a scone, before a scenic drive back to Chester to explore the old town centre. Second night at “Green Gables” B&B.
