Portmeirion Village & Conway Castle

Monday, May 24th

Potmeirion Village - Flight of Fantasy

What a place. It is hard to believe that this place exist. This unique village is set on its own private peninsula on the southern shores of Snowdonia. Some say it is Clough Williams-Ellis Flight of Fantasy. He rescued house & buildings from all over the world and made it into a village. It is amazing not only the buildings but the garden surrounding the village. Their are 50 to 60 feet tall Rhododendrons bushes. They are all flowering right now and some are so fragrant.

Conway Castle




This is my favourite castle so far. Conway is the classic walled town, with a circuit of walls over three quarters of a mile long and guarded by no less than 22 towers. they say that the town of Conway still looks similar to the town Edward 1 envisioned some 700 years ago.
