Short Breaks In UK, North Wales - The Ultimate Destination
Everyone should take short breaks; this is good for you and in the UK is easily done. There is a lot to do and see in this small island with a long history, and many destinations are very easy to reach by car, bus, plane or train. The public transport system is excellent so there is very little excuse for not taking short breaks in UK.
We don’t have a great deal of space here, so I am going to discuss North Wales, mainly because of my bias toward this beautiful countryside. Although visiting North Wales is almost like entering another country, it is still part of the UK. People here still speak Welsh, and reading the names of the towns and villages makes you feel as though you are in another country.
Snowdonia fortunately is a name that everyone can get their tongue around, but how about “Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch”, also a small village in North Wales, close to Snowdonia, in fact just across the Menai Straits on Anglesey, and it has to be seen to be believed. To master that name you would need longer than a short break!
North Wales has the best beaches in the UK too, these are award winning beaches and the Llyn (pronounced hlin) Peninsula is the home of the Black Rock sands of which dunes are of special scientific interest. This beach is popular for surfers and you can enjoy unbelievable views of Cardigan Bay from here. Lligwy Beach received a Green Coast Award and a 10mps speed limit, so it is the ultimate slow-paced beach to relax on.
Visiting castles is one of the most rewarding experiences and many people visit the UK for this reason alone. There are so many castles and Beaumaris is a sight to behold. It is the most perfect technological example of a-th century castle you can see anywhere in the world, and although it was never finished, you would never say so. The construction took 35 years, started by Edward I in 1295. For interests’ sake, the name Beaumaris is French, Norman and it means “beautiful marsh”.
