					<description><![CDATA[Set against the backdrop of the Clogwyn ridge the old church of Saint Peris is undergoing some renovations (2011), I wouldn't be surprised to see the old church limewashed when I next visit as Cadw the Welsh Heritage organisation is obsessed with lime. I appreciate how kind lime is to the stucture of a building, however having worked with lime many years ago, I have my doubts whether it is as kind to us humans.]]></description>

The first 2.5km of the Miners Track to Llyn Llydaw from Pen y Pass car park is the most accessible, since it is wide, surfaced and has no stiles. ]]></description>

					<title>Milk Thistle</title>
					<link>http://www.pictures.walesdirectory.co.uk/Milk-Thistle-p-2443.html</link>
					<description><![CDATA[The milk thistle is a thistle of the genus Silybum Adans, a flowering plant of the daisy family (Asteraceae). It is also called holy thistle, Marian thistle, Mary thistle, St. Mary thistle, Our Lady's thistle, wild artichoke. 
This milk thistle was one of many lining the pathway to the remains of Degannwy Castle on the Vardre in Deganwy, North Wales. The name "milk thistle" derives from two features of the leaves; they are mottled with splashes of white and they contain a milky sap. The seeds of the milk thistle have been used for 2,000 years to treat chronic liver disease and some say it might protect the liver against toxins. Traditional milk thistle extract is made from the seeds, which contain approximately 4-6% silymarin.

Although the hill was occupied as early as the 5th or 6th centuries the remains of the gate probably date from later constuctions of the 13th Century under Henry 111 of England.]]></description>

The Church of St Lawrence in Church Stretton stands in the centre of this pleasant Shropshire town. Much of the church, including the nave, dates from Norman times and is one of only 45 British churches with a carved fertility symbol (a Sheelagh na Gig), a remnant of early medieval times. For this alone it is worth a detour from the Jack Mytton Way, one of Shropshire’s many popular walks.

					<description><![CDATA[Built on a gauge of 2 feet 3 inches, the Talyllyn Railway is one of a number of narrow-gauge lines in north and mid Wales built in the 19th century to carry slate, in the Talyllyn's case from the Bryn Eglwys quarries near Abergynolwyn. Opened in 1865, the line runs the seven and a quarter miles from Tywyn (on the Cardigan Bay coast) to Nant Gwernol, from where a series of horse-drawn tramways continued into the mountains. In 1950 the line's owner Sir Henry Haydn Jones died, and the future for the TR looked very bleak, as it had been losing money for some years. A group of enthusiasts, led by the engineer and author L.T.C. Rolt, sought to prevent the railway's closure. By then the railway was in a very sorry state with the one operable locomotive, in very poor condition, struggling to pull the trains along an overgrown and perilous track. Since 1951 great improvements have been made; volunteer members of the TRPS now provide most of the train crew and station staff required to operate the line, and assist with maintenance work and with many other activities. ]]></description>

The setting of the green is one of the most picturesque in the country with a view that makes many visiting teams and tourists jealous. The club recently embarked on a programme for the local youth, in recent years membership has declined and the club would like to hear from any prospective members at both youth and senior level. Club is open to anyone who wishes to have a go at Bowls on a recreational basis. Club members are on hand to offer advice, support & coaching.

At one time the dry stone walls would have seemed intrusive but today we accept them as part of the natural landscape. I have to admit that I have finally become accustomed to the pylons between Conwy Valley and Abergwyngregyn but wind-turbines? Never. Without getting into the argument whether they actually reduce carbon emissions I will just say keep them off our mountains...put them all out to sea.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[This little cove on Llanddwyn Island must be one of the most beautiful little beaches in Wales. The last time I visited the island I couldn't help but have a swim in the clear blue waters. Brrrrrrrrrrr. With the beach all to myself except for another couple I couldn't help but compare this little bit of heaven with the beach in Barcelona where, two weeks earlier, I had endured two hours of hell squashed like a sardine in a very hot tin with a million other sardines. Every minute (I timed them) another beach trader would pass by yelling “coca cola ..agua .. cerveza ..limon” or was it “colaguathebethalimon”. And what made it worse was that should you choose to ignore them they lent forward and shouted it down your lug hole! After an hour on Llanddwyn beach I did get disturbed by an elderly lady from England who remarked how beautiful the beach appeared and that it reminded her of the beaches in the film “Mama Mia”. The film was not my cup of tea ...but the lady had very good taste in beaches.

					<description><![CDATA[Llanddwyn Island has the best exposures of Precambrian rocks in the southern block of Anglesey. This wall of sharp and jagged rocks is on the north edge of the Island. Probably the most dramatic and well known of the rocks on Llanddwyn are on the shoreline at the entrance to the island. They are a kilometre north along the shore from the car park in Newborough Warren. The rocks are basalt pillow lava of the Gwna Group, which erupted beneath the late Precambrian to early Cambrian sea. Erupting lava chilled quickly against the water with the blobs of lava expanding like a balloon to form the shape we know as pillow lava. In combination with the limestones and lavas, Llanddwyn Island is one of the most spectacular field localities in the UK. The rocks can explain the history and origin of the Earth.]]></description>

What is a cream tea? A cream tea is a "Devonshire tea" or "Cornish cream tea" and is a pot of tea taken with a combination of scones, clotted cream (or in some instances whipped cream), and jam. I know of people who will travel for 20 miles for a cream tea with all the trimmings. (this requires the waitress to wear the full uniform). I am not a cream tea fanatic myself but I must say the scone was very nice and the clotted cream delicious.]]></description>

But when you consider that Y Sospan has a history dating back to the early 1600s it goes some way to explain the roof ! Today Y Sospan (Welsh for Saucepan) is a popular restaurant and tearooms. In bygone days they did serve food, but only as last suppers before the executions of its prisoners. That’s right—Y Sospan used to house the local gaols. But now is open all year round as a cafe and tea rooms during the day and Bistro in the evening, serving fresh local produce. ]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[When walking along the Roman Road on the Llanfairfechan Upland Walk dont wander past this Finger Post else you will end up in Abergwyngregyn. Known as the “Meeting of the Tracks” because from this point tracks radiate off to Abergwyngregyn, Llanfairfechan, Rowen in the Conwy Valley and also ascend into the mountains. One track cuts across the side of Yr Orsedd to the summit of Drum, then onto the higher peaks of the Carneddau. ]]></description>

Ivy has its feeding roots anchored in the ground and simply uses the tree as a support to get to where it wants to go. And what a marvellous piece of natural sculpture the two plants make …who needs the Tate Gallery, come walking in North Wales!

During its construction in the 1880’s the building funds ran out and the locals considered it mad to try and build a Church so large and majestic in such a small town as Colwyn Bay then was. But the Methodists were nothing if not determined and with the backing of the Wesleyan Conference they persisted with their dream of a Cathedral of English Methodism on the North Wales coast. The costs had already consumed £5,700 and, although it took several years, a further £4,750 was acquired to complete the scheme and the first service was held in the completed Church at Easter 1888.]]></description>

Bird watchers have plenty to keep themselves occupied with Cormorants, Oystercatchers, Ringed Plover, Turnstones, and Purple Sandpipers. If you don't want to stray onto the shoreline then you can visit one of Wales' oldest places of Christian worship, Saint Trillo's Chapel on the promenade. Anglers are catered for at the Rhos Point Fishing Tackle Shop, and if getting on to the water takes your fancy you can buy a Sea Kayak in what was once the ticket office for Rhos-on-Sea Pier.]]></description>

					<title>Welsh Village</title>
					<link>http://www.pictures.walesdirectory.co.uk/Welsh-Village-p-1674.html</link>
					<description><![CDATA[The village of Llanaelhaearn in the county of Gwynedd, North Wales. The Welsh village sits between the mountains of Yr Eifl, the Rivals, to the west and the hills of Moel pen-llechog, Gyrn Ddu and Moel Bronmiod to the north east.

Access to Pen Llyn the western end of the peninsula is via a road that weaves between the hills and on which road sits Llanaelhaearn. In byegone days pilgrims en-route from the west via Holywell, St Asaph and  Clynnog Fawr to the Holy Island of Bardsey would have rested in Llanaelhaearn. Today the old church of Saint Aelhaearn still offers spiritual comfort to the community but a telephone call is required to gain the keys to open the church door! |

Within the church grounds can be found evidence of a Christian occupation of Llanaelhaearn dating from as early as the 5th Century AD. Several stones with Latin inscriptions have survived the years and indeed it is thought one stone, the Melitus stone still stands in its original position.  |

But a short walk from the village provides evidence of even earlier settlements on the Llyn peninsula.  A path from the village climbs the slopes of Tre'r Ceiri, one of the three summits to Yr Eifl where can be found the remains of a prehistoric  settlement regarded as one of the best examples in Europe of an Iron Age hill fort.

					<description><![CDATA[The churchyard at Bodelwyddan is the source of much controversy. It contains the graves of many victims of the Spanish flu pandemic of 1918-19 who were based in the nearby Kinmel Park Military Camp. More controversially it is also the burial place for a number of Canadian soldiers who were awaiting repatriation after the end of the First World War. Various stories have circulated over the years about a riot in the camp which resulted in the deaths of five of the Canadian soldiers on 4-5th March 1919. I quote the official Church website.. " a riot occurred in the camp when the ship allocated to return the troops to Canada was diverted to carry food supplies to Russia, and five Canadian soldiers were killed in the disturbances and subsequently buried in St Margaret's Churchyard; a common story is that they were executed for mutiny, but this has been denied by the Canadian Department of National Defence." Whatever the truth of the matter it was a very sad episode for the poor young men who had survived the horrors of the World War only to suffer again in what should have been a place of refuge. For what it is worth the graves are well tended and there is a memorial to the Canadian soldiers.

					<description><![CDATA[The Red Lion, Abergele Road, Old Colwyn is a proper Pub. No restaurant, no juke box, no games in the lounge bar. There is a wide choice of beers, including Camra real ales and a great atmosphere. Unlike many pubs which have been made open plan and boring the Red Lion still has all those nooks and crannies that give a pub a bit of character, well no, in the Red's case .....a lot of character.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[A view of Abergele Road where it cuts through the centre of Old Colwyn. Chip shops, pubs, cafes, newsagents line the road. Much of the trade disappeared from Old Colwyn shops with the advent of the A55 Expressway in the 1980's. Some might say it was a price worth paying to lose the conjestion and mile long traffic jams that plagued the village. But I do not expect the businesses that went bankrupt to agree! In the background can be seen Llysfaen and the hill known as the Marian.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[St Catherine's Church on Abergele Road, Old Colwyn. The render on the east chapel, or the extension to the nave, detracts from what is otherwise a fine looking stone building.

The crenellated tower creates an impression of a medieval castle. It was built by Sir Charles Woodall, a Manchester shipping magnate who had the folly built as a retreat for his pipe smoking, and where he could escape from "'er indoors".]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[  The romantic ruins of Brecon Castle overlook the River Usk in the heart of the old market town of Brecon. Brecon Castle was the creation of a Norman Lord Bernard de Neufmarche in around 1093. The confluence of the Usk and Honddu rivers made this an ideal location for its construction - water was useful for defence, sustenance and for powering the mills. There were no bridges across the Usk at this time, so the fords were also of strategic importance for the Norman's planned expansion westwards and required defending to keep them open. The upstream ford is still known as Rhyd Bernard and is marked as such on some of the older Ordnance Survey maps.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Llandudno is a typical Welsh seaside holiday resort. Where Llandudno differs from many other resorts is in the way the town council has always insisted on protecting its Victorian heritage. At risk of sometimes looking silly the town council will always err on the side of caution or conservatism. The town and its visitors have been rewarded with a beautifully preserved Victorian town and promenade. However I feel that the newer developments within the shopping parks leave much to be desired .....although most shoppers would disagree with me! ]]></description>

There are however two other places that claim the title of the world's longest place-name, one in  Thailand and one in New Zealand. It seems to be accepted that Llanfair PG, as it is known, now claims to be the longest town name in Europe. Should you decide to pay a visit I would recommend you skip the railway station ....boring, and take a walk down to the banks of the Menai Strait from where it is but a short walk to the church on the island .....beautiful!]]></description>

The smaller buildings as in the picture would have probably been for storage and are small enough to have been spanned by single stone slabs. Excavations have provided evidence of metal working and agricultural activities including a granary. Remains of shells have shown that their diet was supplemented with sea food including periwinkles and limpets. (I hope the limpets tasted better than limpets we find on beaches today!) There is archaeological evidence of intermittent human occupation from the middle stone age through Roman times to the 6th Century AD. ]]></description>
