Fun Photo Friday — Caenarfon and Betws-y-Coed Favorites


St. Mary’s Church, Betws-y-Coed

I had a lot of favorites this day in Wales, and you’re going to be the beneficiary with many more shots than usual for a Fun Photo Friday. I’ll also be running today’s photos as captioned individuals rather than my usual photo gallery/slideshow:

Jewel of the Seas — Betws-y-Coed, Wales


Betws-y-Coed, Wales

After Caernarfon, we headed east through the Nant Ffrancon Pass, cut across the Eryri National Park (Snowdonia), and into the charming town of Betws-y-Coed. This town looks as if it were ripped from the pages of a romance novel set in the 19th century. The buildings are mostly stone, the roofs tiles, and there is even a quaint railway station, all of which you’ll see here:

We were left to our own devices for over an hour, then headed back into Snowdonia for more sights:

Back in Holyhead, here’s a glimpse of the ruins of Holyhead Castle on Soldiers Point:
