Our visit to the Lleyn Peninsula, & Snowdonia, North Wales, UK



Take a trip around this beautiful and inspiring part of the world with us. Many thanks to Neville Williams of Blue Water Marine Limited, Pwllheli Marina Fairline Marina - Wales you are a star! See you on board next time.



Criccieth was beautiful with some of the most dramatic skies, and coastline you could wish for. Sat Nav kept going on about the light; that's an artist for you.
Criccieth Castle CADW - Wales stands on a rocky peninsula overlooking Tremadog Bay. Originally a stronghold of the native Welsh Princes, Criccieth was later annexed and added to by the English monarch Edward 1.



Keith and Helen Burt took us on a tour of the Snowdonia Railway stopping off at the Sygun Copper Mine Sygun Coppermine

Caernarfon Castle is impressive to say the least. Built by Edward 1 . . . though why he wanted to build it next to the car park I do not know :-)

Then on to the National Slate Mine passing Electric Mountain

We were bombarded by seagulls whilst we enjoyed fish and chips overlooking the lake at Llanberis.

A great trip. Thanks to Helen and Keith Burt. Keith is Welsh and his history knowledge is awesome.
