Pics of North Wales (1)
As promised, some pics of North Wales! Lots more to come soon.
The mighty Caernarfon Castle (pic with boats in the foreground). The tower on the left, where the flags are flying, is the Eagle Tower, supposedly Edward II's birthplace.
Three pics of Rhuddlan Castle, where Edward II's sister Elizabeth, countess of Holland and Hereford, was born in August 1282.
Two pics of Conwy Castle rising above the town.
The weather was pretty murky the whole time we were in Wales, but one day it came out a little bit brighter, and we finally got some views over Snowdonia from our cottage on Anglesey.
Two pics of Aberconwy House in Conwy, a merchant's house built around 1300.
And finally for today, two pics of St Cwyfan's Church or the Church In The Sea near Aberffraw on Anglesey, only reachable at low tide! Originally founded in the seventh century, the present building mostly dates from the fourteenth century with some older parts, and a nineteenth-century roof.
