Not so much from a history point of view but more because I like exploring the various staircases and narrow passageways which would once have been hidden within the walls, and also for the good photo opportunities they provide. It's amazing though to think that they were built so long ago.Tigermousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11386636767916316587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-883785423019632704.post-29169842831715194732016-09-09T02:53:47.411+01:002016-09-09T02:53:47.411+01:00What a lovely afternoon it turned out to be!

I know I missed out on the beach as I still had a long way to drive, so that's definitely one for another time.Tigermousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11386636767916316587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-883785423019632704.post-21182329610749603272016-09-06T09:32:07.996+01:002016-09-06T09:32:07.996+01:00Harlech looks like a lovely place to explore and o...Harlech looks like a lovely place to explore and once again, you had decent weather :)Bag End Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06190496929132717769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-883785423019632704.post-8481442587203627532016-09-05T09:29:37.403+01:002016-09-05T09:29:37.403+01:00Thank you Yvonne, I'm glad you enjoyed the jou...Thank you Yvonne, I'm glad you enjoyed the journey through my day out :)Tigermousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11386636767916316587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-883785423019632704.post-65571802045889543042016-09-05T08:35:13.438+01:002016-09-05T08:35:13.438+01:00Enjoyed "My Visit" Tigermouse, felt as t...Enjoyed "My Visit" Tigermouse, felt as though I was actually there.<br />Yvonne.nashvillecats2https://www.blogger.com/profile/02326956741209246895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-883785423019632704.post-37506818624240375892016-09-04T20:39:26.841+01:002016-09-04T20:39:26.841+01:00Well from the end of this week I'll be spendin...Well from the end of this week I'll be spending ten days in the county of Norfolk, the countryside there almost totally flat so is in complete contrast to the hills and mountains of Wales - you and Tilda-Hilda would like it there as it's great for cycling :)Tigermousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11386636767916316587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-883785423019632704.post-72363639681897400872016-09-04T20:03:16.069+01:002016-09-04T20:03:16.069+01:00Proof that Earth is round. lol.

I don't remember having trouble finding the castle but when we did find it, it wasn't dog-friendly and we were disappointed that we couldn't go in.
