On the August Bank Holiday weekend, we set off to visit Bristol, Bath, and beyond. Helen travelled down on the Friday morning by train, and I drove down later on in the afternoon, after a morning of work, followed by dropping the cats off at the cattery.
Conwy Castle, Conwy, and Plas Mawr Elizabethan Town House
Left alone with Helen in London again, today’s day out started with another drive in to North Wales. The weather wasn’t as great as it had been recently and it started raining just as I arrived in Conwy, the problem was: it was still too warm for a coat! Anyway, I parked up and headed for the castle.
Whittington Castle and Whitchurch
Today’s adventure would be much lighter than last weekends, visiting only a single small ruined castle and a local town. After a little bit of home DIY to fix a gate, we set off to Whittington Castle.
National Slate Museum, Dolbadarn Castle, and Llanberis
Out of Caernarfon, I drove West to the small village of Llanberis, here I wanted to visit the National Slate Museum which I’d visited in Primary School about 20 years ago, and Dolbadarn Castle, which I’ve never visited before.
