We've been to Wales before so, obviously, we packed for wet weather. Our plan: visit Portmeirion and Snowdonia and a few relatives who we've not seen for years.
Of course, plans are for breaking so we abandoned them and wandered around Anglesey and the North Wales coast. We walked through a woodland where there was a hide for watching red squirrels; we visited Holyhead where there was a small maritime museum; we ran out of time to visit the nearby gardens and manor. Our favourite visit was to Beaumaris Castle (A UNESCO World Heritage Site) details on gov.wales/cadw.

The ‘new’ bridge to Anglesey leads to the famous little village of
Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch but
we preferred to use the beautiful original Menai bridge. And, as it was
our anniversary while we were on Anglesey, we ate at a very nice
restaurant, Harry’s Bistro at Henlly’s Golf Course.Also, there was a
family gathering, organised within 48 hours, just for us! All aunts,
uncles and cousins who live in the area assembled near Conwy Castle and
we all had a lovely time.
Finally, just to say that we have been to Portmeirion before, the last
time was 20 years ago and it was fascinating. It has its own brand of
ceramics and was where the cult TV show, The Prisoner, was filmed around 50 years ago.
