We started in rural Hampshire, where we used to live...
North Wales is famous for its mountains...
...and narrow-gauge railways
Snowdon is the highest mountain in England and Wales...
But we got up there without breaking a sweat...
...we let the train take the strain!
Then there was this little locomotive. Very sweet, but it wasn't all trains...
We also spent a day at Portmeirion, made famous from the cult '60s TV show 'The Prisoner'.
And we visited Caernarfon Castle.

Seems like a nice place, Wales. Must visit there some time.
Alfie: I envy you, with all of this within easy reach!
I'm ashamed to admit that I have never visited Wales. It is going to be on my list of things to do when I have enough cash to take a break.
I'll be asking both you and Alfie for advice on where to stay. It looks lovely.
Suze: I don't claim to be an expert. Our holiday this year was the first time I had visited North Wales since 1975!
(Not doing much better with your lovely part of the country. I haven't been in that area since 1988!)
Breathtakingly beautiful, FC! Being in flat Florida, those mountains are just gorgeous.
I LOVED The Prisoner! How cool is that? I didn't realize it was an actual place. (I was very young. ;)
LOL - my word verification is NONSILLY!
Nightbyrd: Wales certainly is a very special land. 'The Village' used in 'The Prisoner' wasn't just a film set. It is an actual little community, the life's work of one man, Sir Clough Williams-Ellis, who wanted to create a community in a naturally beautiful site which was in harmony with the surroundings and did not spoil them. It is set in a little wooded valley, surrounded by gardens and uverlooking a wide estuary against a backdrop of the mountains. It is very well worth a visit.
'Notsilly' sounds about right!
