Exploring Wales – 4

The Welsh are proud Celts and there is much to be proud of.

Off the ferry I headed inland to find one of the oldest trees in the UK and amongst the oldest trees in the world.

I have become fascinated with Yew Trees. These amazing trees live thousands of years, and left alone may even be immortal.

In St Cynog’s church yard in Deffynnog are ancient Yew trees 3000+ years old.

I was in awe standing in the shelter of these ancient living organisms.

After enjoying the company of this old tree it was time to head into the highlands.

Beautiful winding roads through the highlands. And a stop at the Devils Bridge waterfall.

The misty drizzle had set in by the time I reached the Red Lion Hotel in  Pontrhyfendigaid.

With fine weather forecast it was a chance camp near the coast at Aberystwyth.

Along the coast road, the view was breathtaking. Especially watching the Red Kites hunting over the fields.

And then to put the icing on the Welsh cake, I found the little village of Tresaith with its little beach and waterfall.

It’s not easy to find, the roads to the beach are steep and there is little parking but worth an effort.

There was even a bar where I could buy a cold Welsh Lager!

It was beautiful to visit Wales. Beautiful countryside and friendly people.
