Tips For Winter Getaways in Snowdonia
Snowdonia in Winter is just as beautiful as in the Summer. Some might argue even more so. Snow capped mountains, rivers full of crisp ice cold water and miles and miles of deserted beaches. The towns also come into their own with festive cobbled streets, cosy cafes and pubs with roaring fires.

Good food at the Olde Shippe Inn and great sausages and steaks from the local butchers.” ā Stuart and Janet, Cumbria During our first day we went to visit Conwy as we were staying so close to it. We hadnāt been to this area before so we werenāt quite sure what to expect, having only seen a few pictures of the castle and the surrounding area but it was a pleasant experience. I have to admit though, Britainās Smallest House, on the waterfront did tempt us to visit first. As my wife put it, āit was very adorableā. The castle was even better if you love historical and heritage attractions like we do. We discovered that it constructed by the English monarch Edward I around 1283 as one of…
