Land of Song and Wild Mountains
From the rugged peaks of Eryri to the serene shores of Anglesey, North Wales is a region where dramatic landscapes and deep-rooted history meet. This site is a collection of the specific trips we have taken, documenting the places that left an impression on us. Whether we were wandering through the world-class floral displays of Bodnant Garden or taking in the sweeping coastal views from the limestone cliffs of the Great Orme, these stories reflect our own authentic experiences in this distinct corner of the country.
Land of Song and Wild Mountains
Our travels often took us through the heart of the Conwy Valley, from the iconic stone bridges of Llanrwst to the rushing waters of Swallow Falls in Betws-y-Coed. We’ve also included the slower, more nostalgic journeys, like our time on the Welsh Highland Railway between Caernarfon and Rhyd Ddu, and our explorations across the Menai Strait on the Isle of Anglesey. While these notes are a personal record of our adventures, we hope they offer a helpful perspective for anyone planning their own visit.
Each section focuses on the routes we found most scenic and the practical details we learned along the way. By sharing the highlights of our time in the Welsh countryside, we hope to showcase what makes this region so special. Whether you are here for travel inspiration or simply to see where our journey took us, these locations represent the very best of our North Wales experience.
