Postcard from Wales no 5




And so to my last postcard from Wales (a trip we made in April!)
 On a drizzly last day we visited a slate mine and....



 then Dolwyddelan Castle




Then we headed home (phew....the last of my postcards from North Wales done!)


Way back in April we also went for a walk in Lancashire.


In the shadow of Pendle Hill we walked along the River Ribble.


 We walked through the little village of Grindleton



 across a VERY muddy lane......




Down a Wild Garlic filled valley to a little river....



And we ended up back in the delightful village of Waddington. 
They hold a very unique achievement of being awarded the Best Kept Village of both Yorkshire and Lancashire due to the boundary changes of 1974!
Happy 90th Birthday to Queen Elizabeth II too!

  4. Hello Lyn,

    Oh Snowdonia! I have been there once, the weather was horrible (we had to go back, there was a man posting to send people back, away from the mountain) but it was very impressive. I also remember the slate ...

    Have a good day & congratulations on your fabulous queen!
