Snowdonia, National Park of Mid Wales


Our journey continue through Snowdonia to the picturesque town of Llangollen in mid Wales.




Leaving Caernafon on A4086 that lead towards Llanberis Pass, an exceptional scenic mountain route that unveils the stunning lakes and the Dolbadam Castle that is perched on the side road, hidden from view.









Just down the road from the Dolbadam castle parking is a secluded reservoir, the Llyn Peris Reservoir which has an amazing lake!



Onwards from Llanberis, the next stop is at Bets-y-Coed for an early dinner at a little diner. The village itself has a unique characteristic of old Victorian cottages along the busy main road.

It was another stormy evening, the sky grew dark and angry. Rain pouring down mercilessly as we make our way back to the car.



We drove along the A5 heading toward Berwyn at Llangolen for a night at the ChainBridge Hotel.  The access to the  hotel is through a secluded and dark narrow road across a narrow bridge through a narrow court yard surrounded by a raging river on one side and a canal on the other.  Once again, we had arrived at a hotel in pitch dark. The lights from the hotel entrance was a welcoming sight in this cold and wet night.
