Holiday to Portmadog Wales and Wales

Hello Travellers,

In today's post I wanted to speak about a holiday that I took in this country  quite a few years ago.

I went to Portmadog, Wales it was so lovely from what I can remember I think we went for a long weekend 3 or 4 days.

Here are some of the photos that I took while I was there.






The above photos were from our time when we went to visit Criccieth Castle, Wales which was built in the 13th Century.

It was good to see all that History of a place  the site has also stirred up controversy over the years. A combination of Welsh and English remains, there has been much speculation as to which areas of the castle belong to which building periods. Was the inner or outer bailey the original stronghold? Did the Welsh or the English build the castle's most recognizable and dominating feature: the massive twin-towered gatehouse? And did the Welsh or the English construct the fascinating Engine Tower, near the gatehouse, to be used as a powerful platform of death? The dilemma is understandable if one considers the actual structural features at the site relative to its history, a history that encompassed a relatively short time frame but included some very formidable personalities.


I think this was taken just outside the castle or near it from what I can remember it was such a long time ago.




 I think this photo was taken when we reached the top of the Castle but I'm not 100 per cent sure on that one .

I wish I would have thought to do a blog about my travelling years ago but back then I didn't realise how much travelling I would have done so all I can do in these blog post is try and remember.


                             This is definitely from taken from the time we went to visit the castle


This Photo was taken from the Beach I loved nothing more then Waking up every morning and going for a walk. 

There is something Calming about being at the Beach by the Ocean I love Beach Holidays more than City Breaks unless of course we are talking about Paris and that is because of Disneyland.

Thanks for reading as always this was just a short post I wanted to include the photographs more then anything.
