Day 1 (Saturday)
We leave Isfryn Cottage at 9am and will cover the following attractions:

Bodelwyddann Castle , take a walk around the grounds and the audio tour of the Castle should you wish, we will head across the A55 to the marble church for you to take pictures and have a look inside this land mark church.

  

Then onto our local beach.
      
After viewing the church and seeing our local beach we will then take you to the popular walled town of Conwy were you can explore The impressive Castle, walk the harbour and visit the range of local shops within the Castle walls.
 
  

...Maybe sit at the harbour and eat your fish and chips, or choose a cafe

After your lunch in Conwy we will then head down to Anglesey and cross both the Meni and Brittania Bridges so you can take in the views of the fast flowing Menai Straights were we will stop for some great photo opportunities.
       
Then for a short stop into the local village of Llafair pg were you can get photos of the longest word in Britain:
Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch .

      

On our way out of this village we will stop at ‘The Marquess of Anglesey's Column’ & ‘Nelson's Monument’

As well as the long name, the village of Llanfairpwll is also famous for this great pillar of Moelfre limestone ( Moelfre is a pretty, old herring-fishing village on the north-east coast of Anglesey ). The Marquess of Anglesey's Column is 27 metres high and was erected in 1816-17 as a tribute to the Marquess, Henry Paget, (1768-1854) who lost a leg at the battle of Waterloo. The architect was Thomas Harrison of Chester, who also designed Holyhead's triumphal arch. The bronze figure of the Marquess, by Matthew Noble, was placed on top in 1860. 

         

You can climb up 115 steps to the top where there are spectacular views of Snowdonia and the beautiful Anglesey countryside. The column, surrounded by bluebell woods, stands on a rock which was a Hillfort in ancient times. At the foot of the rock is a house where Mr Gwilym Williams and his wife Elisabeth live, who are responsible for the upkeep of the column and the grounds. Here you can pay a small fee to climb to the top.

Just south of the village lie the waters of the Menai Strait , just a short walk from the column. These waters, although mostly peaceful, can become treacherous under certain weather and tide conditions. 


 

At the foot of a very steep lane is the parish church of Saint Mary's and if you stroll through the woodlands to the water's edge, you will reach Nelson's Monument - a  navigational aid erected in 1873 

      

We will now head back to Isfryn Cottage
