Snowdon Summit Cafe Demolished

The Snowdon Cafe has finally been demolished. As we led a group up towards the summit, our views were even larger than usual, where once the cafe stood, we could now look over south to Moel Hebog. The building site barriers looked strange on the summit. Prince Charles called it the "highest slum in Wales". To the team at Seren Ventures, it was a not great transport cafe. Whilst it's popular to put it down, we have memories of at times much needed shelter for us and clients over the last two years. In it's place will start . . . (More . . .)

Birdwatching and Wildlife on Anglesey

The Isle of Anglesey holds a wealth of sites of natural interest and is one of the most rewarding areas for bird watching in Britain.

An absence of pollution, heavy industry and highly intensive agriculture means that plant and wildlife on the island can flourish freely. Only 25 miles across it has an incredible variety of habitats: sea cliffs, rocky shores, muddy and sandy estuaries, dunes, lagoons, large reservoirs, many small land heaths, coniferous and broad-leaf woods, scrub and mixed farmland. Just across the Menai Strait, only 10 miles from the island, are the mountains, moorland and hanging oak woods . . . (More . . .)

Places to Visit - Harlech Castle

Harlech Castle Like an all-seeing sentinel, spectacularly sited Harlech Castle gazes out across land and sea, keeping a watchful eye over Snowdonia. The English monarch Edward I built Harlech in the late 13th century to fulfill this very role. The rocky outcrop on which it is perched gives the castle immense strength. Looking seawards, Harlech's battlements are a continuation of a near-vertical cliff-face, while any landward attackers would first have to deal with a massive twin towered gatehouse.

Unsurprisingly, it is now a World Heritage Site. The fortress's massive inner walls and towers still A stand almost to their full

Waterfalls of North Wales

 How about a visit to North Wales with a mission?  Visit as many waterfalls as you can.  You will struggle because North Wales is a land of waterfalls. However, they are often to be found at the end of a very nice walk. What more could you want? Beautiful countryside, good exercise and one of natures wonders to see at the end of you trek.

This is not meant to be an exhaustive list of Welsh waterfalls, but here are some that I have visited and photographed. Some are very well known, others might be new to you,

Real advice on North Wales from the real experts; past visitors.

Who are the best people to ask for advice before visiting any tourist destination? Those that are paid to promote a destination or people like you who have visited, tried out the attractions and activities, stayed in the accommodation and eaten out? I know that those of us that live and work in North Wales believe that the area has so much to offer but the best judge is someone from your own “neck of the woods” that may be better placed to give you unbiased tips on how to get the most out of your trip.
