An Adventure Up The Snowdon Ranger Path
Three times I have walked Snowdon, and three times, thanks to the weather, the view has evaded me. Would it be fourth time lucky? My friend Lorna and I had chosen Snowdon as one of our training routes for the Yorkshire Three Peaks challenge later this year. I later discovered we were in good company […] More

The Snowdonia Slate Trail, Betws-Y-Coed to Gwern Gof Isaf
I have always had a strong connection to North Wales from spending many ‘staycations’ on Anglesey as a kid and driving through the stunningly picturesque, yet dramatic landscape of the Ogwen Valley between Bethedsa and Betws-Y-Coed. So when the opportunity arose for me to join a group on their walk along a section of the […] More

Plas Brondanw – A House That Inspired An Italianate Village
Our most recent family holiday this year was to Wales, to be honest you can’t really go to a better place in the UK for a short break. As a child we used to go every year for our family holidays to Anglesey, many happy memories made there too. Our daughter picked the accommodation as […] More

A Weekend in Abergavenny and Sugar Loaf Mountain
Summertime in Wales, a long weekend and a campsite perfectly located in Abergavenny with stunning views all around. This was a memorable summer short break in South wales for my family and I for a few reasons, and although we’d driven through Abergavenney a few times before, this would be our first time staying in […] More

Portmeirion – Little Italy In Wales And The Set Of The Prisoner
“I am not a number; I’m a free man!” If that quote means anything to you, you are either of a certain age (that we won’t speak of) or have been inducted into the cult of The Prisoner, which was a popular spy TV drama show in the late 60s. But regardless of its Prisoner […]

A Walk Of Waterfalls: Betws-y-Coed to Swallow Falls, Conwy
Amongst the amazing hills of the Welsh valleys and mountains of Snowdonia, lies a quaint village called Betws-y-Coed. Known in English as Betsy or (Betty to the locals), the stone buildings, narrow paths and boutique feel of it could be something out of a fairy tale. The English translation is actually ‘prayer house in the […]

Hiking The Isle of Anglesey Coastal Path
One of United Kingdom’s greatest natural features is its coastline. There are over 7,000 miles of it if you include the larger islands which is enough walking and exploring to keep most people busy for a lifetime. The Isle of Anglesey has some of the best walking, and its coastal pathway allows for breath-taking coastal […]

Knock Your Rocks Off, Go Below – Snowdonia, North Wales
Many people on holiday would prefer a relaxing, fun-under-the-sun vacation. However, when in Wales, one particular activity to participate in is anything but that. Caving was an experience I’ll never forget. We (our own group of 10) were led by our tour guide to the foot of a huge hill, in the middle of a […]

A Walk In Craig Cerrig-gleisiad & Fan Frynych National Nature Reserve
As my wife is from Brecon, we often return to visit family. Whilst she talks with her sisters about school days and long lost friends, I have the chance to slide out and walk in the Brecon Beacons. So when my wife suggested a trip over August Bank Holiday, I was a little sceptical about […]
