Cheers John Wales is another beautiful part of The UK, some exceptionally nice scenery. ![]() I thought the houses atop the hill here, were very appealing. They are certainly blessed with spectacular views across the bay and ocean in front of them. With my weekly travels and writing on the same, I have neglected the Wales as well as The Highlands of Scotland threads. However, if we get a long winter and I'm stuck for something to do (which I honestly hope not to be) I can always fetch the threads up to date. A lot more to do on Asia as well. ![]() The Penmaenbach Tunnels (you can only see one of them here) pass under the mountains on the coast road down toward Caernarfon. Nice job as well. ![]() Caernarfon Castle. Spectacular. A masterpiece. ![]() There are few places in the world which are able to show such buildings. ![]() I took a few photographs from high up on the battlements. The one above looks out across The Menai Straits towards Anglesey. ![]() You can sense the strength in the walls. ![]() Spectacular tiny streets inside the original castle walls. It really is an eye opener viewing the same first hand. ![]() Special place indeed. Mind you. ![]() I wouldn't personally like to be living below the quarry here. Seem kind of dodgy to me. ![]() Awesome building and grounds. ![]() Looking inland towards the mountains. ![]() I took most of the photographs from the highest turret in the castle. Some climb up it was too. Really narrow winding steps. Well worth it though. ![]() More of the mountains. Outstanding beauty. ![]() A beautiful country. We are indeed very fortunate to have so much variety of special interest in such small but very special Islands. {Caernarfon or Caernarvon optional, either being acceptable} | |
