Well aren’t I a lucky devil, I have just returned from my second holiday so far this year. This time we went a little off-piste though and holidayed in the UK, with a trip to Snowdonia with our beautiful little pooch-faced babychops (Lexi).
Here she is in case you’ve forgotten how stunning she is:
Lexi on Harlech Beach
Usually we go further afield but we really wanted to find somewhere dog friendly to explore, so we rented ourselves a little house in a coastal village called Harlech, packed up our impractical BMW coupé and off we went.
What a trip!
If like me you haven’t really holidayed in the UK since you were a small child, I highly recommend it. We saw some of the most beautiful places I have ever seen, my phones had no signal most of the time and we had loads to occupy us. I can’t remember the last time I felt so relaxed. That’s not to mention the fact that our little girly LOVED it and had a wonderful time getting the sand in her paws.
Here are some snaps / highlights in case you’re thinking about a trip (these are just phone snaps; imagine the colours in real life!):
Craggy, waterfall-y goodness at Fairy Glen
This is how clear the water is in the streams; my dad tells me some people have this pumped directly into their taps. We drank it, we’re alive
If you like history, there are castles galore. This one is Harlech Castle
Feeling gluttonous? Why not grab an ENORMOUS pancake over at Scoop in Caernarfon?
Or you can head over to Tu Hwnt I’r Bont tearoom in Llanwrst
Need a beach? We had this place to ourselves. Port Iago (in the middle of nowhere after a lot of driving in circles but so worth it – following images are the same place)
Throw in some zip lines, lots of delicious food and a steam train ride and you have yourself a holiday. I can’t recommend visiting Wales, especially the traffic-free, stunningly beautiful Snowdonia enough.
Much love! x
