Holy Island was our next pit stop in Anglesey and we headed to the far north west corner to visit the South Stack lighthouse. It’s said to be one of the best places in the UK to witness sea birds, including puffins so I was rather excited. We walked through the countryside to reach the…

Idyllic beaches with mountain backdrops | Ynys Llanddwyn, Anglesey
It was our first time visiting Anglesey so we didn’t know what to expect. We headed to the west side of the rather flat island first to explore Ynys Llanddwyn and the Newborough Forest. The parking fee was so expensive so we did some research and found a free carpark that involved walking an extra…
Secret infinity pools, boating and castles in Northern Wales
Social media has been smothered with videos of people swimming in a ‘secret infinity pool’ in Snowdonia. The location is kept a secret but it’s easy enough to find if you watch the videos and scan google earth. Seeing as we swim in wild locations pretty much every day we figured we’d see what all…
The wildest route up Snowdon | Scrambling along the Crib Goch ridge
We hiked Snowdon back in 2014, taking a back route from a campsite in Llanberis, and then the main ‘motorway’ route back down. I wasn’t too bothered about hiking it again to be honest, but when I did some research I discovered there was a route up which sounded right up our street. It was…
Scrambling up Tryfan’s North Ridge | Snowdonia
Some people consider Tryfan to be the only true mountain south of Scotland. It’s rugged and rocky with a typical pyramid shape and the only way to reach the summit is by using your hands and feet. We’ve hiked it a couple times before and we loved the scramble aspect. But this time we wanted…
Wild swimming and Boating in Snowdonia
After a few miserable weather days we were delighted to wake up to the sun heating up our campervan like a greenhouse. We woke early as it was a weekend and we knew parking would be tricky so we wanted to get to our destination for the day. We managed to find a lay-by right…
Misty mountains in Snowdonia National Park | Wales
I find it hard to travel slowly when there’s a place I’m really keen to visit and I just want to get there as soon as possible. North Wales, mainly Snowdonia has been that place for me. We’ve visited a couple times before and I just love the mountains there and that’s something our roadtrip…
The best place to see dolphins in Wales
Cardigan Bay in Wales is said to have the biggest population of dolphins in Britain, and one of the best places to see them is from the town of New Quay. This was a spot we visited back in 2015, taking a dolphin viewing boat trip which wasn’t very riveting. But I remember the boat…
Quarries, Sunsets and Boating in Pembrokeshire
We left the Pembrokeshire coast and headed inland to the Preseli Hills. It had been grey and drizzly all day and clouds were coating the tops of the hills like icing sugar on a cake. It seemed impossible but the clouds started turning pink and we realised we could be in for a cracking sunset….
Exploring Pembrokeshire’s coastline | Wales
We arrived in the colourful walled town of Tenby, a place we were very fond of on our previous visit 6 years ago. The town has rows of pastel coloured houses that look like a pack of refresher sweets. On either side of the town are beautiful beaches with crystal clear water lapping the shores….
