i haven't explored Anglesey very thoroughly + don't know North East Wales along + near the coast.
There's a link in your "my menu" where you can create your custom genres for lists/polls/articles...
My parents were on holiday in Wales all those many years ago when morning sickness brought my mom the realization that she was pregnant with yours truly... isn't that just swell ? They went to that village with the longest name in the world... the gogogoch place...
Ah, a lot of train passengers miss gaeeting off at the stop there cos by the time the announcer finishes the name as the train's arriving it's already left again. Anyway, you're well + truly blessed.
Brecon Beacons is so lovely! I took the Mountain Railway for a tour through the area a few years ago when I went to visit my birthplace of Merthyr Tydfil (where the hospital I was born in is now a retirement home; so I suppose it was there for me when I came into this world and will be there for me when I'm ready to leave it!)
Ah yeah i've been on that railway; good stuff, just like the other little trains of Wales. I had heard they were planning to extend it. The Tal-y-llyn line in South Snowdonia is beautiful and i enjoyed the trip to the top of Snowdon but it's hard to pick one ahead of the others. I was at Merthyr the other day, they've got a new smarter retail park but the town itself could still do with a bit of a make-over. No doubt there should be a plaque to signify your birthplace + attract tourists. A happy time for anyone born in Wales, after Saturday's Rugby eh?
Hee hee! That is a brilliant idea. They should *totally* install a plaque there in my honor! I wish I could have spent more time exploring over there. Perhaps on another visit; and I'll use your list as a guide of places to see. :)
Elan Valley Dams is a great place. been there once and got a fridge maget..of a sheep..i still have it..its sticky ;)
