Day Seventy-two

Up early this morning, it's a long day ahead!

It's one of thise rare days where I have a specific destination in mind, so it's on to the supermarket in Queensferry to grab some handy provisions and get at it.

Starting off by jumping onto the busy A548, it's ploughing on through a few towns along the River Dee. It's a lot of slogging in busy traffic but not too many options for this stretch as the bike route proper follows this road, and the wind is starting to increase with the temperature.

At Baglit the cycle route heads up and over some big hills a little inland, so I say hell to that and keep cracking on at the road.

The road isn't exactly great fun, with lots of hedges and trees blocking the views, but finally we break through the foliage lining and emerge out to the coast at the Port of Mostyn.

Emerging from cover does mean the wind starts to become more noticeable, and a strong breeze is blustering down the coastline. But there is a great view back over the water to see the view of yesterday's ride.

Past Ffynnongoyw, there's a right turn and it's finally away from the traffic and on to some great riding around the cycle trails to Talacre Beach, before riding on through the dunes and across the golf course.

Hitting Prestatyn, we get some more nice promenade riding all the way down to Rhyl. Some stretches are alas under building work, so there's a little meandering involved to get around them whilst being slapped around by the wind.

Over the River Clwyd, there's more nice riding away from the traffic along the beaches, along with a good few more sections of construction work diversions. But the sun is shining and the view over to Colwyn Bay is very pretty.

Past the impressive sight of Gwyrch Castle on the hillside, I have a short stop to help someone out with a flat tyre. One thing I do enjoy with cycling is the camaraderie amongst riders and it's very common for others to check in that someone is ok or needs help if they're stationary.

Riding on, it's up some steeper sections up over the cliffsides, before yet more construction work sends me off on a diversion into Old Colwyn.

I've had enough with the promenade routes being constantly blocked off, so elect to say hell and stick back to the proper cycle route once more, which leads on through the busy Colwyn Bay and west alongside the expressway.

It's around some beautiful hills through this area before coming out at Llandudno Junction, and with the wind still battering around I take a break with a bit of shelter here. Today is some hard work!

Crossing over the River Conwy, I get to ride past the awesome Conwy Castle and have a lovely jaunt around the riverside whilst heading past Conwy, then it's back out to the sea as the path works its way past some impressive hills.

Past Penmaenmawr the cliffsides offer little space, and some interesting pathing is in place to sandwich a major dual carriageway, a rail line, and pedestrian & cycle access in all together, but somehow it's managed.

At Abergwyngregyn there's no other through road apart from the dual carriageway, so the route leads uo inti the foothills overhead, making for some lobg climbs and tiring work. It gives a nice view of Anglesey, but damn it's tough going.

Eventually it's downhill once more, crossing back over the expressway and zooming in to Bangor to check out their pier, and then riding up and around to the Menai Suspension Bridge.

Across the bridge and I'm on the island if Anglesey! Whilst I'm not riding around the entire island, I am making a stopoff at a place I've wanted to check out for maby years - Llanfair­pwllgwyngyll­gogery­chwyrn­drobwll­llan­tysilio­gogo­goch. With the evening wearing on, most other tourists are having dinner and I have no issues getting a photo done with the sign.

Not much further left today! Back to the bridge I ride, then it's a ride down the Menai Strait along to the historic castle town of Caernafon, with a nice ride past its beautiful castle.

A final push around the hills nearby and I eventually arrive at my destination for the day - the home of the wonderful Nerys! I have been given a lovely hot shower and a damn amazing steak, and have a few nights' R&R ahead to allow the back to heal up a bit more!

That's the entire damn north coast of Wales down in one day! I'm kinda shocked at myself, especially with the hideous headwind that has been causing so much extra effort, but I'll take it!

Have a good weekend!

Things to do on Anglesey

Things to do on Anglesey...looking for pocket friendly ideas for the family on your stay here?. Look no further. I've listed ten things you can do on Anglesey, pretty much for free..

Anglesey is the jewel in the Welsh crown when it comes to beauty and natural landscape. Anglesey or Ynys Mon in Welsh, is a island just off the coast of north Wales.

Wales... 10 Reasons to

A short-hop across the Irish Sea, Wales offers a wide range of holiday opportunities, whether white water rafting in an adrenalin packed adventure trip, family fun throughout the mystical valleys of castles and dragons or enjoying a city break in the capital Cardiff. Here are ten great reasons to visit our nearest neighbour: Wales is the only country in the world to have a formal trail the whole way around its coast. The Coast Path (which is 870 miles long) winds its way through towns and villages, across cliff tops and sandy beaches, sometimes darting inland before emerging once again at a sheltered cove or tiny hamlet that you would definitely miss when travelling by car, bus or train. It will take you from the mouth of the River Dee, along the north Wales coast with its seaside towns, over the Menai Strait onto the Isle of Anglesey, from the Llyn Peninsula down the majestic sweep of Cardigan Bay, through Britain’s only coastal National Park in Pembrokeshire, along miles of golden sand, via Gower with its stunning scenery, along the waterfront of Cardiff Bay and Cardiff to the market town of Chepstow.The capital city of Wales makes for a great City Break destination such is its proximity to Ireland combined with Cardiff’s compact city centre and abundance of attractions and activities on offer. The Millennium Stadium is one of the best sports arenas in Europe and to experience a full house when the Wales rugby team are in action is as good as it gets from a sporting perspective. The city’s historic past can be explored at Cardiff Castle, while music and cultural events run throughout the summer months. Cardiff’s cuisine is enjoying a growing reputation with many excellent restaurants around the city centre, while the nightlife is legendary with around 150 pubs, bars and nightclubs to choose from. Wales is a land steeped in history and legend and what better way to explore both than to take a tour of some of the many castles dotted throughout its hills and valleys. The 3rd Marquess of Bute, once the richest man in the world, indulged himself by building Castell Coch, a late 19th century project built on the remains of a 13th century castle and is one of Wales’ most romantic places. The castle is located just outside Cardiff and easily accessible from the city. Powis Castle is over 800 years old and is a mecca for garden lovers, with mature gardens and formal Italianate terraces with original lead statues, lush herbaceous borders and exotic plants cascading from the walls. And strange things happen at the spooky Bodelwyddan Castle. Recent sightings include an apparition in one gallery, a ghostly soldier in another and shadowy figures drifting down the corridors. Caerphilly Castle, Castell Dinas Bran (or Crow Castle) and Beaumaris Castle are others worth a visit. Enjoy the thrill and adrenaline rush of white water rafting at several venues throughout Wales. The river rafting at Tryweryn is top class and allows you to go down the steep and rocky mountain river. There are two venues in Cardiff to experience the thrill of white water rafting and at Black Mountain Activities on the upper River Wye, you can tackle white water, rapids and the infamous ‘hell hole’. Canoeing and kayaking centres are also dotted throughout Wales making it an ideal adventure holiday destination, while most venues are also family friendly. Wales has mile upon mile of stunning natural coastline, hidden coves, towering sea cliffs, sea caves and secret beaches, making it the perfect coasteering destination. Coasteering is an increasingly popular adventure activity that involves working your way round a coastline at sea level in whatever way is possible. This may involve swimming, diving, jumping, climbing, scrambling, traversing and rock hopping all designed to be challenging but enjoyable. The Pembrokeshire Coast, Isle of Anglesey, Gower Peninsular and Llyn Peninsular provide some of the best spots to go coasteering in Wales. Located in north Wales, there are 100 lakes, 90 mountain peaks and 37 miles of pristine coastline and beaches in Snowdonia National Park. So why not climb Snowdon, the tallest mountain in Wales, or follow the Dôl Goch trail through the beautiful woodland and onto the waterfalls. The climb up Glyder Fach takes you to the famous large flat Cantilever Stone, which appears to be precariously balanced and makes for unique photo opportunities. Also the Mawddach Trail, which is considered to be one of the best walking trails throughout Britain, is a spectacular traffic-free trail following the beautiful Mawddach Estuary in the southern end of the national park. The Pembrokeshire Coast National Park covers approximately 240 square miles around the beautiful west coast of Wales. The national park has a varied landscape of rugged cliffs, sandy beaches, wooded estuaries and wild inland hills and the park also includes several offshore islands, some of which can be visited by boat. Oakwood Theme Park provides a great day’s entertainment with adrenalin rides and water slides, while whale and dolphin watching is possible with a voyage to Ramsey Island and Grassholm. Another great day out can be had by visiting St David’s Cathedral, officially Britain’s smallest city as the cathedral is built upon the site of a 6th century monastery. The Welsh coast is blessed with many blue flag beaches and quaint seaside towns, which make for an ideal weekend away or family holiday. Mumbles, Tenby and Llandudno are amongst the most popular and you really are spoilt for choice with the quality of the beaches on offer. The beaches near Tenby are safe and sheltered and are ideal for families, Saundersfoot beach is a small but very popular resort with some spectacular views from the top of the hill, while Newgale is another enormous beach where you can take kitesurfing lessons. One of the most popular surf spots in Wales is Whitesands, where the surf break can be found towards the northern end. Swansea bay boasts five blue flag beaches, while Rhossili bay is regularly regarded as the best beach in Wales. Wales has 331 miles of traffic-free tracks making it the ideal destination for a cycling holiday. The Snowdonia National Park boasts some of the best bike trails in the country. There are smooth trails for beginners like the Mawddach trail or you can try the long challenging climbs of the Gwydir Trail that weave through the forests. The north Wales Coastal Cycle route stretches for seven miles using the wide sea promenade that stretches from Rhos-on-Sea and Colwyn Bay to Pensarn, while the Elan Valley trail takes in some spectacular scenery along the nine-mile trail. The 2010 Ryder Cup revealed Wales as an ideal golf destination. And Newport’s Celtic Manor Resort is just one of around 200 tracks – including some of the world’s top links courses – all packed into a country that’s only 60 miles wide and 170 miles long. Royal Portcawl, Royal St David’s, Aberdovy, Pennard, Conwy and Tenby can all compare with the best courses in Ireland or Scotland, so throw the clubs in the back of the car, hop on the ferry and enjoy a few days golfing in ideal settings throughout Wales. Stena Line and Irish Ferries offer several ferry routes from Ireland to Wales. Aer Lingus have daily direct flights from Dublin to Cardiff.For more information on Wales, visit www.visitwales.co.ukEd Leahy We believe our capacity can give you an impressive experience by using white water.

8 great reasons to visit Abersoch in North Wales

By Paul Johnson on Jul 03, 2019 in Attractions, Europe, Family Travel, Featured, Food and Drink, Going Out, Regions, Restaurants, Speciality Travel, Travel Miscellany, United Kingdom, Western Europe

I recently had the good fortune of visiting Abersoch for a few days. I’d frequently been to nearby Pwllheli for various sailing events (Plas Heli, the Welsh National Sailing Academy and Events Centre, is there) but never knowingly made it as far as Abersoch, despite hearing a number of great things about the town. Known as Cheshire-by-the-Sea given its popularity with residents of the nearby English county of Cheshire, many of whom have second homes in the area, Abersoch is a town on the southern side of the Llyn Peninsula in the Welsh county of Gwynedd. Also affectionately known as the Welsh Riviera thanks to its unique micro-climate, it is also a place where you can enjoy plenty of Summer sun, sea, sand and a lively nightlife. Here are 8 reasons why you, too, should consider Abersoch on your next trip to Wales.

1. Beaches

There are many beaches within easy reach of Abersoch. Porth Niegwl is the longest expanse – a 3-mile wide bay on the south coast of the Llŷn Peninsula, but closer to Abersoch itself is the highly desirable Porth Mawr, a much closer walk from the town centre. This is also home to Wales’ most expensive real estate – a beach hut here can set you back in excess of £150,000. From here you can enjoy views out to two islands – St. Tudwals West (home of TV adventurer Bear Grylls) and Ynys Tudwal Fach. Interesting aside, but Grylls once got in a little bother with the council for a large metal slide that went straight into the sea from his property, for which he hadn’t got permission from the relevant Welsh building authorities – in hindsight, it wasn’t such a good idea for him to share this fact with his thousands of Twitter followers given that it was installed within an officially designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB)! The slide has since been taken down.

To the south of Abersoch is the National Trust’s Porth Ceiriad and, to the north, the harbour beach where there is another beautiful expanse of sand and yet hardly a soul in sight.

2. Views

Abersoch is very picturesque and, catch the light at the right time of day, and you will be in for a treat. On one occasion, we captured a beautiful rainbow finishing at St. Tudwals West (the island on the right in the picture below), but sadly I only had my phone to hand and the resulting picture is a little too grainy to publish here!

3. Food

There are many different places to eat in Abersoch – places such as The Hub, The Dining Room, Fresh Café Bar & Grill, Venetia, The Cove and the restaurant at Porth Tocyn Hotel are all well worth a visit.

If the weather’s favourable, though, and particularly if you have access to a beach hut, you might like to consider a barbecue on Abersoch’s main beach which is relatively sheltered. Mickey’s Boatyard & Beach Cafe, at the south end of the beach, also does barbecues from time to time, or is a nice place just to relax and take in the view with a coffee or light lunch after walking the length of the beach.

4. Watersports

Watersports enthusiasts will love Abersoch with its internationally-recognised sailing waters. There are two clubs to know about. Firstly, Abersoch Sailing Club which is an RYA-affiliated club run from the main beach, and great for both new and experienced dinghy sailors. Secondly, perched high on the cliff at the northern end of the beach, is South Caernarvonshire Yacht Club, which has hosted many prestigious events in the surrounding waters of Cardigan Bay.

Our boys were there to compete in the RS Feva national championships and had an amazing time!

5. Golf

Aberosch has had its own golf club for over 100 years; Abersoch Golf Club is an 18-hole course located behind a series of ancient sand dunes and with a mixture of both links and parkland. There are some testing holes but, whatever your score, you will hopefully be rewarded with views across Cardigan Bay and out towards Snowdonia.

Nearby Pwllheli also has Pwllheli Golf Club on the south-facing coastline of Cardigan Bay, and Llŷn Golf, a 9-hole pay and play golf course and driving range. And a little further afield is Nefyn & District Golf Club on the north side of the Llŷn Peninsula, which has both 9- and 18-hole courses.

6. Walking

If you enjoy walking, you will find plenty of walks nearby. The beaches are largely dog friendly but do check the signs are some areas do not allow dogs at certain times of year (for example, just the final northernmost stretch of Porth Mawr does not allow dogs during the main season).

Those looking to walk a little further may want to head for the Wales Coast Path which circumnavigates the Llyn Peninsula. You can walk the entire path or just pick up shorter routes at various points and marvel at some stunning stretches of the Welsh coastline.

Alternatively, if you want to tackle Snowdon, drive to Beddgelert and take the road to either Rhyd-Ddu or Nant Gwynant for two possible ascents of Wales’ highest peak.

7. Cycling

Both road cyclists and mountain bikers will find plenty of routes in and around Abersoch. There are plenty of routes to explore around the Llŷn Peninsula as well as stretches of the Wales Coastal Path that you can ride. There’s also a nice circular route at Aberdaron, 10 miles to the west of Abersoch, that takes you along the north side of the peninsula, past Porth Oer and then down towards Pen Y Groes and back. If you don’t have your own bikes with you, you can hire them at Llŷn Cycle Centre in Pwllheli.

8. Days out

Although you could easily spend the week without even leaving Abersoch, there are plenty of places to explore nearby that can easily be done as day trips. Caernarfon is less than an hour’s drive away, for example, and home to Caernarfon Castle, a medieval fortress with impressive defences since this was once the administrative centre for the whole of North Wales.

There are in fact 600 castles in Wales, with the closest to Abersoch being Criccieth. Other nearby alternatives to consider include Harlech, Beaumaris on Anglesey, Penrhyn Castle in Bangor and Dolwyddelan in Betws-y-Coed.

For something different, heading east out of Abersoch and hugging the Llŷn Peninsula’s southern coastline for about 40 minutes will take you to Portmeirion, a rather unique private tourist village created by Clough Williams-Ellis during the earlier part of the 1900s that has, on occasion, been used as a film location. It’s something of a fantasy world with beautiful buildings and grounds. The botanical gardens are worth a look and home to an important collection of rhododendrons as well as other exotic plants.

For those looking for something more active, there are also ziplines, treetop nets and even an underground trampoline experience all within an hour’s drive, and venture just a little further to Dolgarrog in the Conwy valley (about an hour and a half’s drive) and you will find an artificial surf lagoon where they create continuous and perfect waves, so there’s really something for everyone!

Visiting Wales with Original Cottages

For holiday makers looking for a UK location that combines both unique and idyllic accommodation, with a plethora of activities to suit every taste, visiting Wales with Original Cottages represents a fantastic choice that offers everything from fine dining and relaxing breaks to stunning outdoor settings and sporting opportunities.

However, for travellers looking for a more genteel approach, there is no shortage of cosy accommodation and quiet escapes that provide the perfect opportunity for a re-charge.

A Land of Contrasts

Wales is a destination that offers wildly varied, but equally impressive natural surroundings that range from commanding mountain peaks to truly breath-taking beaches. These include CefnSidan, which is an 8-mile stretch of coast with safe water and easy access. The beach itself is part of Pembrey Country Park and home to a host of wildlife nestled amongst its dunes and marram grass that is it itching to be discovered by budding explorers. For those looking for an opportunity to engage is some exciting hiking and climbing activities, the region is also contrasted with some fantastic mountain ranges. Snowdown for example, has an elevation of 1,085 metres (3,560 ft.), which makes the mountain Wales’ most towering summit and the third tallest within the UK.

  Also waiting to be explored is the impressive Brecon Beacons mountain range, where guests may enjoy a flurry of activities including adventures on horseback, which further allow enthusiast to discover the region’s abundance of birds, butterfly’s and aquatic wildlife.

  Staying In or Going Out

With such a varied scope of natural features, it should come as no surprise that Wales is able to attract visitors from all walks of life. For thrill-seekers looking to embrace fresh challenges, the available activities include everything from bog snorkelling and zip-lining to fantastic surfing opportunities. Conwy Valley for example, is home to a £12m, 300-metreartificial wave lagoon that is managed by Surf Snowdonia and offers good surfing and lessons for all ages.

[caption id="attachment_26551" align="aligncenter" width="640"] A man and woman hug after taking part in the World Bog Snorkelling Championship, an annual sporting event held at the dense Waen Rhydd peat bog in Powys.[/caption]

  Alternatively, for holiday makers looking for an opportunity to unwind, there are a host of exclusive holiday cottages that stretch from Anglesey to the base of the Brecon Beacons and beyond. These include the picturesque, BwthynFelgaws cottage, situated close to Swansea in South Wales. This charming accommodation has been awarded a 5-star rating by Cymru Wales and is within walking distance of the Brecon Beacons.

    In addition to a broad selection of attractive holiday cottages, visiting Wales provides a wealth of places to visit that allow visitors to enjoy at casual game of golf at one of more than 200 courses, discover various local towns and villages, as well as explore hundreds of local attractions. These include the Dr Who Experience, which arrived in Wales in 2012 and is sure to delight science fiction fans of all ages. In conjunction with big thrills and stunning views, Wales is home to Britain’s smallest city, St David’s, as well as Britain’s smallest house - Quay House in Conwy.

The Local Flavour

The diversity of what Wales has to offer is fully matched by its selection of fine local cuisines and specialist beverages that are able to cater to even the most refined pallet. Succulent Welsh lamb is farmed across the country’s lush valleys, while award-winning cheeses can be found in both local homes and restaurants. This richness of culinary experiences is also supported by a tempting selection of locally produced beers, wines and spirits.

And speaking of spirits, make sure you check out the Penderyn Distillery

Wales is also home to an award winning Whisky distillery, in the beautiful surroundings of the Breacon Beacons. Penderyn Distillery has been around since 2000, with their first malt released in 2004. It was set up by a group of friends who wanted to bring the art of distilling back to Wales. Penderyn is a beautiful distillery, found in the incredible Breacon Beacons.

Penderyn Distillery is a quaint place, a lot smaller than I thought it would be, and that’s definitely not meant in a bad way, the design of the distillery itself is incredible with unique stills and even a glass spirit safe.

Upon arriving at the distillery you instantly get a sense that Penderyn is not looking to produce a Scotch whisky in Wales but to create something truly unique within the whisky category. This is reflected throughout their distillery’s design as well as their leadership that includes, amongst others two ex-steel workers, a musician / writer and an ex-cabinet maker.

This is a place like no other.

There are many stories to tell about the distillery, the brand and the people but overall the best thing I can do here is urge you to take the trip to Penderyn and be prepared to learn many new things and see many new things.

Make sure you check out their Madeira, Rich Oak and Myth releases; great whisky all round.

They have a visitor centre that is ready to welcome you seven days a week and offer a range of tours and tastings. Whether you are a fan of Whisky or not, Penderyn is well worth a visit, not only for the brilliant malts, but also for the astounding Welsh countryside that surrounds it. Definitely one to do when visiting Wales, say hi to Jon from me whilst you're there.
