Another Week in Wales: Day One

Last Updated: 19 October 2024

Long-term readers of TheWriting Greyhound may remember my travelogue from last summer's holiday, during which my partner and I toured mid- and south Wales. We started in Aberystwyth and, over the course of the week, worked our way down along the Pembrokeshire coast before heading back up through the Brecon Beacons.

Since we both enjoyed last year's week in Wales so much, we decided to complete our Welsh adventure this year by touring the country's north. From the rugged coastline of North Wales to the island of Anglesey and the dizzying heights of Snowdonia, this is the story of our second week in Wales.
