APRIL 21 - East of Caernarfon is the Snowdonia National Park, largest in Wales. The portion we visited today were the highlands, with numerous mountain peaks. The terrain is almost entirely grass, moss, and bare shale rock. It is a stark and dramatic landscape, very unlike the lowlands to the west and east.
The train ride is a few hours, and we get back to Caernarfon in the evening. It is another day without rain, the weather has certainly dried since our days in Ireland.
Eat dinner at Anglesey Arms, just a minute walk from the castle. Like a number of places we’ve dined, it is basically a pub with a restaurant attached. There is always a relaxed feel in these establishments, where most of the patrons appear to be daily fixtures, and the median age seems to be around 60.
