Beautiful Wales

 During my recent holiday exchange in the UK, after spending a few days with friends in Cornwall, I decided to drive up through Wales back to the said home.

As there was no rush to get back, a night's stopover at a B&B seemed a good idea, giving me the chance to explore the magnificent countryside at a relaxed pace.

I opted for the charming town of Crickhowell, a little NW of Abergavenney (see map below)










It was a delightful visit and I am grateful for the opportunity to have seen the glorious countryside and for the good weather too!

    Traveling at a relaxed pace seems so wise to me. There's so much to see so why race by? :)

    Wonderful place to visit. I spent a day in Wales back in 2010. I'd love to go back one day to explore for longer.

    Beautiful scenery. Glad you had chance to stop and take it all in. We visited Adelaide recently, it was very cold.
