Our trip on the car ferry from Ireland was uneventful and we arrived at Holyhead in Wales on nightfall. Fortunately we had booked into a caravan park, and although it took a little finding, in turned out to be a ripper. Best facilities we’ve found in a caravan park and the young owners were lovely. The next day we set out on a course designed by Kathy Vincent (Bribie Probus) which gave us a great appreciation of the Anglesey part of Wales. We’ve taken some photos and videos along the way to give you an idea of the countryside as well as some of the places we stopped at.

Morning coffee was at the lovely little village of Beddgelert (photos and video) and then drove through the Snowdonia ranges to Betwys-y-coed (don’t ask me to pronounce it). We had lunch here, had a ride on the minature railway and checked out a great model railway museum with a number of working model railways. (more photos and video). Then it was on to Conwy where we checked out Conwy castle. Building started in 1283 by Henry 1^st and took just 4 years. Truly amazing.

That night we stayed at what we’ve come to expect as the typical run-down UK caravan park. Limited facilities and only a couple of other campers whose help we had to enlist the following morning to push us out because our wheels kept spinning on the wet grass. It rained all day as we drove towards England but we were lucky enough to fit in a canal boat ride across the magnificent Pontcysylite Aquaduct (more photos and video) before heading to Chester for the night.
