North Wales 2021 Vlog 21 Betws-y-Coed, Porthmadog, Criccieth

We reveal where we managed to park for the night and head into Betws-y-Coed in search of breakfast.
We stop for a drone flight at Dolwyddelan Castle and a coffee break on the Crimea Pass on the way to Blaenau Ffestiniog.
There are no steam trains running so we head on to Porthmadog for a walk around the town and a lovely ice-cream.
Driving on to Criccieth we stop to admire the view before enjoying an Indian meal at the Spice Bank restaurant.

We were in Betws-y-Coed last Saturday. Were dropping the motor home off for our son and his girlfriend to use after a week near Barmouth ourselves. They were booked in at the Riverside site and after we set things up for them, went to the cafe in the old train carriages opposite the railway station for a late lunch. The food was good, not over-priced and there was plenty of it. Staff were friendly too which is always a bonus. Lovely little town, wish we could've stayed but had to get

Waterloo bridge was named after the sense of relief, when Napoleon was defeated in the battle of Waterloo.

Hello from Ireland. We are hoping to head over to Wales in a few weeks time. We always enjoy your videos. My 12 yo son spent 2 months in hospital last year. Watching your videos and looking forward to getting back out in our camper kept us going. You reminded us that very soon we would be back on the road again, out and about, enjoying the simple pleasures the world has to offer. He's doing well now, life is getting back to normal. So thanks to you both.

I spent a night in Betws-y-Coed over 40years ago in a little hi-ace campervan. Well done Ken for catching how beautiful north Wales is.

The Waterloo Bridge was named thus because it was built in the same year the battle was fought. Thomas Telford the engineer who built it, was most famous for his suspension bridge across the Menai Straights in the same concerted effort to improve the A5 road from London to Holyhead. All roadworks and improvements along the A5 came to a halt following the opening of the railways over the next 100 years and only restarted once they were decimated by Beeching in the 1960s.
