Hey guys, sorry there's apparently a scammer in the comments, just letting you know we don't share links in normal comments so that's not us. I think it's been dealt with now, sorry for the confusion, and thanks for pointing it out to us.
I’ve been noticing different scams in all comment sections
There was a fire on a pier in Wales the other day, mumbles pier Swansea
I thought something odd was going on.
What a drag; you guys are so nice. What kind of scam? The usual Indian "your warranty has expired" kind? I thought UA-cam could block them. I'm glad it's over. Have fun! Thanks for sharing your videos.
But why didn't you explain the reason the sheep 🐑 are scared ?
Glad you enjoyed Wales, it’s a beautiful place 🏴
I get the feeling you are Welsh. Lol
@@damienrobbie5974 Crazy how a country can be filled with people who are from that country, isn't it? Mind-boggling.
Wales is beautiful. I did my Duke of Edinburgh award 🥈 there. We went hiking and climbing up Cader Idris. It was misty, when we got near the top, the mist cleared and seeing the green valleys below was the most breathtaking, beautiful sight I had seen up to that point. Honestly my senses were overwhelmed. I had tears. I couldn’t explain it. One just has to see the view yourself. Our guide told to take in the view. It will be forever etched in the memory.
I'm a Welshman too... Cardiff born and bred!...love the Welsh west coast... Amazing!
@@damienrobbie5974 and english! esp down in West Wales, lots travelled down here to work years ago in the Power Station and the oil refineries along the Milford Haven waterways, Most seem to have forgotten to go back 'home' :) (and they are most welcome here)
I’m from England and I feel that no trip to Great Britain is complete without a trip to Wales. Absolutely loved this vlog. I was showing a friend from America around in summer 2019 and she was so impressed that she got to visit two countries after I took her to Wales. I spent many a childhood holiday in Wales and the last family holiday when I was a young teen right before my dad passed away was in Wales and we had the best time and it is one of my vivid memories of time spent with him.
Sorry about your dad, happy that you’ve nice memories of him to treasure.
Wales is a wonderful place. It's a safer place to visit then Scotland, and more welcoming.
I live in wales
@@dannythorne9761 I am lucky and live in breathtakingly beautiful Wales too.
I'm from Yorkshire and if it ain't in Yorkshire, it ain't worth visiting.
"One of the most beautiful places we'd been to in our lives" is a great compliment to the beauty of our country. Thank you...or Diolch as we say!
and they could come back and see something to change their mind in scotland then back to wales change again .. they could do that for ever ,, that's how luck we both are 😊.
Hey we have some pretty places in England too 😪
@@sarahealey1780 100% you do
@@sarahealey1780 i'm Welsh and must admit you have
@@martinjenkins8270 what's you being welsh have to do with it? its either nice in england or it's not? 😅
You both seemed more relaxed and comfortable in Wales, its great to see outsiders having these experiences
The Llandudno area has some of the oldest prehistoric copper mines in the world. The place is riddled with them. Thousands of years old. God knows when that cave you went into first saw human feet to muddy.
Copper mined in this area has been found in the possession of Ancient Egyptian pharaohs, indicating that significant trade existed between the people here and Egypt some 4000 years ago :)
@@BardOfAndromeda A lot of people lost money investing in the Wales to Egypt copper trade. In fact it was the world's first Pyramid scheme.
@@citizenpb 🤣🤣🤣
Damn you, Sir, you should be horsewhipped for that one.
I groaned out loud.
There's a copper mine open to the public on the other side of the orme.
@@citizenpb 🤣🤣🤣
Love, love, love Cymru. I used to live on a tiny island off the Welsh coast called Bardsey, or Ynys Enlli, that was only 1 mile long by half a mile wide. Best 5 years of my life, it was wonderful hearing the sea as you went to sleep with the sounds of seabirds and sheep bleating. Happy days. Wales is bendegedig!
Yndi, mae'n hyfryd iawn :)
Some years ago my father was terminally ill and we took him on a final trip to his birth place in Wales. We visited the Elan Valley and my father walked for a while and said it was the most beautiful place he had seen in his life. When you spend time with someone so ill you start to see through their eyes. The colours were so vivid and it was a wonderful time for us.
Later a work colleague had to make a business trip and asked me for directions. I deliberately directed him though the Elan Valley. When he returned he thanked me and said my father had been right. For years he had not visited Wales because he had thought it was just an industrial area and hadn't believed me when I had told him that it was possibly the most beautiful part of the UK. He had immediately booked a two week trip with his equally sceptical girlfriend to introduce her to Wales.
It’s true about the industry of Wales as slate was mined there and sent all over the world for roofing materials…. The Elan valley supplies dinking water to Birmingham …Nuclear and hydro electric power stations in Snowdonia and huge steel mills in the South… Wales is quite amazing as an industrial power house but still retained its natural charm
You comment is moving. Thanks for sharing.
The industrial parts of Wales are dog rough, and some areas have deprivation so bad that historically they qualified for, and received, European Union financial aid.
Thankfully these areas are very separate, and nothing unpleasant 'spills out' elsewhere. This is about 1% of what you would see, and can avoid quite easily. The other 99% is stunning.
I think we downplay the beauty a bit, but we don't want to get too popular ;)
I love Wales. I was lucky enough to spend 6 months in Aberystwyth and it was amazing. I'm from NZ and I'm loving your travels.
Did you work at aberystwyth
@@craigmoyle2924 No, my daughter's husband did though. They were there for 5 years.
Hello New Zealand 🇳🇿 from LosAngeles, U.S.A.! Aberystwith is absolutely gorgeous !! It's been in my bucket list for a few years now ! I am jealous that you visited there ,I haven't yet !! 👍👍💜🥁🐉🎤🎶✈️🏴💕💞
I live about 10 miles from Llandudno im glad you enjoyed your time there . im biased but Wales is Beautiful and happy to shsre it with the world .
The Pembrokeshire coast is some of the most beautiful in the UK there also lots of incredible this to see in Wales
I adore you two. By far the nicest and most genuine American reactors on here.
Thank you for such a compliment!
@@midwestamericans3806 my pleasure. I feel the enjoyment. 😁
Wales is a magical place for sure. So much beautiful coastline but even inland it’s just gorgeous
I’m from wales, and I feel like when you live here you take things for granted, you don’t realised how beautiful it really is
That's what exactly it is !! I truly feel many Welsh people forget how blessed you guys are with breathtaking nature & scenics around you !!! The most beautiful country amongst U.K. plus Ireland !! And also ,one of the most gorgeous countries in the world 🌎 My no.1 favourite countries are Wales,Italy & Argentina !! Although I haven't been to Argentina, yet ! 👍👍💜🥁🐉🎤🎶✈️🏴💕💞
So glad you saw how beautiful Wales is! A lot of tourists outside the UK don't visit North Wales but as you saw it is stunning. If you ever get the chance, Anglesey is also beautiful.
was going to comment this to recommend the beaches there, Llandudno is a great day out, but I wouldn't go there for a beach day
So glad you had the opportunity to experience our beautiful land. We live just 45 minutes away from Llandudno and I suppose we take it for granted. Thank you for your video, reminding me how blessed I am to live in North Wales with such magnificent scenery right on my doorstep xxx
Yes, Welsh are spoiled w gorgeous nature / scenics !! They are at your doorsteps !! 👍👍😍💜🥁🐉🎤🎶🏴💞
Im going to say that of what a see here I am very confused of why nobody talks about Wales?? Its something of the most beautiful places I've ever seen. I'm from Sweden and Chile and those two countries together with Norway are the most beautiful places I know. Wales is now on that list. I almost cried watching this video. So beautiful. Must go there!
it rains the other 364 days
People do talk about it in Britain! The Welsh are very proud people. They are sick of English people buying holiday homes there. I think lots of foreigners don't really understand the difference between Britain/England/Wales/Scotland. Also lots of Britain has beautiful countryside, beaches and castles. Wales is lovely though and I live very near.
Yes, you must 👍
@@annother3350 not for the last couple of years. I live in the south and am seeing more sunshine than ever. I'm saving a sizeable fortune in electricity bills thanks to not having to use my tumble dryer all the time 😄
Make sure you search for Gower and Rhossili beaches online! They are in South Wales
It's been lovely having you two in our beautiful and diverse countries and seeing things again through your eyes 😁
The sheep are owned by the local farmers. But the goats are fully wild and are checked and cared for by the local rangers who look after the Great orme. sometimes the goats will wander down into town. There are clips of them on youtube wandering round the streets of llandudno.
Wild? The goats are bloody furious! 😀
Yes! Watch the mountain goats wondering around town during lockdown!
I know i've had them on my front garden eating my Rose Bushes a couple of years ago during the Covid lockdowns!, the Goats were able to go anywhere not frightened of people then, and seeing around 17 of them (possibly all Males?) just sitting on the Grass alongside a busy road near where i live was a sight, they are used to cars near them on the Great Orme so not fazed much by traffic.
Yesss !! I watched the video, news on UA-cam during a covid pandemic !! It was so funny & such fun to watch !! 👍😆💜🥁🐉🎤🎶✈️🏴💕💞
Watching this has made me incredibly homesick, left Wales nearly two decades ago and not a day goes by where I wished I never left. Glad you got to enjoy it however.
Indeed. I also suffer from hiraeth despite living in England for the last 30 years. The feelings when crossing the Severn Bridge back into Wales is indescribable
You need to explore west coast of Wales beaches are really good. Tenby, Saundersfoot etc.
Fishguard aswell
Saundersfoot, Tenby & Fishguard are truly beautiful 😍 I haven't been to Fishguard, yet !! Almost did in 2022 during my 2nd visit to Wales !
My fave is Glen Beach in Saundersfoot. The view from there is amazing !! 😍👍👍💜🥁🐉🎤🎶✈️🏴💕💞
This was so lovely to watch. I’m from Manchester, UK and I’ve always enjoyed trips to Wales. It’s truly beautiful ❤️ x
With all the jumping and climbing and playing on the beach you were like a couple of big kids - in the best possible way. It was delightful to see when you're used to people around you taking it all for granted.
Their child-like playing made me smile all the way through.
@@naomigraham2588 Yes. I hope it stays with them for many years to come.
@@margaretnicol3423 😊
Your best video yet! This is what traveling is all about. I drove along the Welsh coast checking out as many castles as I could find in 2012, it is just beautiful! Loved you sharing that.
As an Island the UK is surrounded by such scenery. Cornwall is awesome, and
the beaches of Scotland have to be seen to believed. Interestingly nowhere in the UK is much more than 2 hours from the sea.
cornwall?scotland?what are you on about? --this was about wales for goodness sake
@@gareththomas6714 they were just passing a comment for goodness sake ! ......news flash they are entitled to an opinion
@Bob Quickenden I was going to say it depends on the traffic! 🤣
@@gareththomas6714 Imagine getting so triggered because someone dared to mention somewhere iother than Wales. What a saddo!
This brought back memories 😍. It was 20 years ago me and my sister went to Wales. Our Dad was married to a woman from Wales, and we went visit our stepbrother who lived there. We did so many fun things: going to pubs, sightseeing in Cardiff, went swimming in Swansea - but the most cherished memory is when we took a tour ride by horse in those BEAUTIFUL mountains (on our way down I sometimes feared for my life 😂 but it was still beautiful). We had lunch at a pub, we tied up the horses outside and went in for a meal 😂 - fantastic!
I’ve been to a bunch of different countries, but this trip I still love the most. I wanted to stay, but unfortunately I decided to go back home to my boyfriend at the time 😕. (I’m Swedish 🇸🇪.)
It's great too look back, even better when you have wonderful memories that you can cherish and enjoy alone or with Family & Friends.
Lovely memories Petra.
@@fayesouthall6604 The best 🙏🏻☺️!
Hiya from Swansea!
@@petragrevstad2714 thanks 🙏
Wales really is beautiful.
My ancestors are of Welsh descent and I've traveled quite a bit around it.
Glad you enjoyed your time there and I knew you were going to enjoy it.
Wales is stunning. All of it but personally I really don't think there is anywhere at all better than the Pembrokeshire south coastline of Wales. You could easily spend a whole holiday just in Wales and love all of it.
No no. North Wales! Harlech and Snowdonia!! :)
@@margaretlavender9647 Mid Wales! Nearly anywhere in Wales provided it's not England with it's dodgy governance!
@@margaretlavender9647 I'm Pembs born and bred, my partner is from Porthmadog. North Wales is stunning as is Pembs (and the whole of Wales really.)
@@avit24 sounding a little anti there Iwan, I hope it's just the crap government you're unhappy with 🏴🏴
The whole of the UK has so many beautiful areas...many in Wales. Scotland is outstanding. Cotswolds/Dales/ Devon in England....Not to leave out Northern Ireland. This country has innumerable faults, but its countryside and coasts are immense.
Pembrokeshire coast line is fantastic and always a warm welcome.
So glad you guys enjoyed Wales so much, North Wales has been my playground for the last 72 years, I still ride a motorcycle through Snowdonia on a regular basis, the views never get old. To think you guys came from the vastness of America but we’re still able to see the enchantment in little Wales was great, I hope you enjoyed the rest of your stay in the UK
Croeso I Gymru. Welcome to Wales. The goats you saw on the Great Orme are wild. During the first lockdown the town of Llandudno was so quiet that the goats roamed into town and played havoc with the gardens. It even made the TV news. Glad you’ve enjoyed Wales so far. Glad you are going to see Snowden. Hope you saw Caernarfon and Conwy castles because they were so close to the road..
Neil young released a song in lockdown and the video included a few clips of the Llandudno goats roaming the town!
I remember that, while the sheep were indoors the goats were outdoors.
I am from Liverpool and I love going to Llandudno. I once read that the original goats on the great Orme were from Iran.
Conwy is so teasingly close too I doo really hope they take 5mins even just to see it from there car in person they'll love it
@@anthonyscott4270 Kashmir via France.
Wales is stunning! I'm English, but Wales is gorgeous!
As mentioned in an earlier comment you both seemed to be very relaxed in Wales. 🤩. Ethan had a smile from ear to ear.😁
I'm originally from Llandudno although we moved away when I was four. We made regular trips back throughout my childhood as both sets of grandparents were there. My sister is now living there again so I'm still a regular visitor. On my mum's side of the family we're related to Richard Hughes who was one of the contractors that built the Marine Drive. My dad's parents lived on the Great Orme and my grandpa used to work on the trams. My dad was an apprentice electrician at the Pier Pavilion Theatre (sadly it burnt down in the 90s) and was later a projectionist at the Savoy Cinema in Mostyn Street (where KFC is now). My mum was Rose Queen of Llandudno in 1950. The same year there was a train crash in nearby Penmaenmawr and my Taid (grandfather), a local policeman, was one of the first on the scene. He later received a commendation from the King.
Lovely 🏴
The UK has a lot of amazing coastal areas all around. I live in the north east of England and we have some great cliff walks looking out over the sea and rocks. So glad you enjoyed it so much.
I find the east coast is about the big skies, beaches and sand dunes... :-)
So glad you enjoyed your time in beautiful Wales.
I used to live in the Conwy Valley and work in Llandudno. My commute to work was along the River Conwy. I left North Wales 20 years ago so this is a real trip down memory lane for me. A truly beautiful part of the world. Years ago you used to be able to get a ferry from Llandudno Pier to the Isle of Man, unfortunately no more. It was a rough crossing but well worth the trip x.
Glad you enjoyed our Beautiful country. Make sure you come back to see the rest of Wales 👍
I’m so pleased you loved Wales, so many people visiting the UK stick to London, Edinburgh, Bath etc but Wales is the most beautiful place you’ll ever see! The coast line is stunning and the mountains are epic! 🏴 💕
Thing is, it’s unfortunate really that tourists to the UK tend to stick to the cities and usually only give Wales and Scotland a day it two, really with us being an island there is stunning coastline all around the UK it would be hard to choose which was the best. I think you can only pick your favourite cause it maybe holds memories of childhood holidays or something but I’d find it impossible to choose a favourite based on how stunning the views are etc because there are so many stunning areas.
Right? I couldn't choose a favourite out of North Norfolk, Cornwall and the West Coast of Scotland. Even narrowing it down that far is distressing!
I agree 100% and the blame lies with the Welsh and Scottish govts. I can’t speak entirely for Scotland but as far as Wales is concerned, Drakeford has done nothing to catapult Wales into the spotlight.
@@samrhys5159 Wales has been underachieving for years and it really makes me sad. There's been virtually no effort to promote tourism, in fact now we have a de facto tourism tax.
Totally agree with you, there are so many beautiful places in the UK. If you do plan to visit this green and pleasant land, the weather will play a major part. It's not unknown to have all four seasons in one day.
I have been on 3 extended holidays in the UK and tend to stay away from cities. there are certainly things to do and see in London of course, but I prefer getting out into the countryside and experiencing small town life and its people. Having said that, I do love Edinburgh.
After a long, hard, exhausting day at work it is a joy to put all life's woes to one side and envelope myself in calmness watching this amazing couple being so natural and living life to the fullest exploring new places and activities. Such good role models.
If you ever visit Wales again, you need to come to the Isle of Anglesey, we are blessed with such beautiful coast ❤️
I'm from East Yorkshire and when we were kids, in the 1970s, my Dad used to drive the family over to Wales for our annual Summer holiday. We visited loads of beautiful places and one beach in particular holds v fond memories for me - Mwnt. You should check it out, it's a truly magical place x
Hi guys , I've just got back from my holiday in Wales, our site we stayed in was camarthen bay pembrokeshire, loved it the beaches were stunning and I even swam in the sea , I drove to Wales from South East England where I live it took just over 4 hrs . 🙂
If you liked the Welsh cost line you should check out Cornwall
West Wales is like Cornwall without the tourists.
@@fayesouthall6604 West Wales coastline is the most spectacular and beautiful in the country.
I love North Wales - When I was a child, I used to live in Morfa Bychan (near to Porthmadog) with access to the Sea and Snowdonia. We had a beach at Morfa called Black Rock sands and you could swim across the deep water channel out to sand banks at low tide. Happy days!
There are so many places (and I will miss as many as I hit) such as Carernarfon, Conwy, Criccieth and Harlech castles, the towns such as Porthmadog, Portmeirion, Blanau and Beddgelert and the scenery such as Llanberis Pass, Snowdon and so on. My own "hidden gem" was Trawsfynydd, I spent loads of time up there camping.
As an Englishman Wales is an amazing place.
If I could I'd move there tomorrow.
York and Llandudno have some fantastic memories for me. So glad you got to see places such as these rather than just London. I know a lot of people look down on the Welsh North Coast as being a bit tired and run down (to be polite) and Llandudno has a reputation for being an old people's town but there's some great stuff there still. I can't imagine ever getting bored of Llandudno.
I have a great memory of being on Llandudno pier, very late at night, caught in an incredible storm out to see that slowly moved inland over the pier. You could literally feel it under your feet as it rumbled overhead. Such a strange joyful exhilarating experience.
I can't understand why you think that of North Wales look up the millions of people who come and visit from England giving myself who lives in Yorkshire North Wales is such a beautiful part of the UK and Wales 🏴
@@grahamfrear9270 If you read my comment again, it's not my opinion per se as I love the North Coast. I'd move there tomorrow if I could. However, rightly or wrongly, places like Rhyl have garnered a reputation over recent decades.
I love Llandudno! I actually stayed there a couple of days with my mother when she visited the UK in 2005. We took photos at the top of the Orme and explored the thousands of years old copper mines. I still like to look in every time I visit Conwy Castle. North Wales is very old in terms of human history but it still feels like civilisation is a recent and superficial thing.
I used to go there every year with the family when I was a kid, this brought back so many memories
"Bluestones" for Stonehenge from the Prescelli Hills.
Sonar surveys for the Oil terminal revealed a few errant "Stones",
which must have been failed attempts to transport them thousands of years ago.
The coastline has changed gradually, there are sunken villages off the coast.
Guys, I'm so pleased you loved Wales! It's my country and she's absolutely perfect, you're quite right! Next time you have to travel down to the Pembrokeshire Coast. If you think that was beautiful, you ain't seen nothing yet! The Gower is definitely another place you should plan to stop at next time you visit! It has the status of Most Outstanding Natural Beauty. Please come again, we welcome you with open arms!! 😊💜
Exactly the Gower is just beautiful ,my grandparents had a static caravan at LLanmadoc and nearly every weekend in the summer we went there ,such great memories ,i might not live in Wales now but every day i wake up happy knowing im Welsh
@@steventhomas9461 Aww, that's lush! Wales has some of the most beautiful countryside & coast in the UK. I too am very proud to be Welsh!
Am glad you enjoyed my home country of Wales. Next time you come- make sure you visit Gower is South Wales. If you loved these views - you will love it.
About time there was a shout-out for Gower!
Pacific Coast Highway California, The Great Ocean Road, Victoria, Australia, and so many roads around the coasts here in the little UK. Bigger is not always better it seems.
Wales is so lovely as are the people, unfortunately for you guys you didn’t go to the right coast of Scotland that has a huge amount of lochs, mountains and some of the most stunning scenery in the world. You really missed out. I hope you got to enjoy beautiful Wales.
get rid of the midgies and it would be even better.
not everything is about scotland
Scotland is not the most welcoming place. It's not the safest place to go ether. Ireland and Wales is fantastic !
@@woodenseagull1899 I don't know about that! We visited the highlands twice + some of the Orkney Islands and felt perfectly safe and the people were lovely. The scenery is incredible, traffic almost non-existent except in the cities. Would love to go back soon.
@@Acadia26 Scotland is lovely unfortunately it's full of Scots, only joking some of them are really nice
Ahh I'm a Welshman living in London. I need to get back home more!
Well done for driving in a foreign country on the wrong side of the road and getting from York to Llandudno. You both looked very happy and relaxed exploring muddy caves, clambering over rocks and skipping down hillsides. Hope you got a chance to see even more of Wales; it's a beautiful country, and like Ireland there's an obvious reason it's so green x
Those sheep probably belonged to a farmer. It's not uncommon in many parts of the UK for sheep to roam the countryside (which is why it's important to leave gates as you find them, i.e. if it's shut before you go through it, then shut it again behind you).
They usually have coloured markings, a bit like they've been shot with a paintball gun, that indicate whose sheep they are. Sometimes they have numbered ear tags as well which identify individual sheep.
Those sheep will belong to a farm, just put to graze and wander. Wales is stunning, the Highlands of Scotland is stunning too
I'm from Wales. It's great to see you enjoying the scenery here. I look forward to seeing your video of Snowdonia :)
If you ever get to go back to Wales, visit Pembrokeshire. Specifically, Tenby. On a summers day it's like being in the tropics. The water is so blue and clear. It's the most beautiful place I've ever seen.
The foundation you found on the great orme could have been part of the old military base that was once on there during WW2. There's a few scattered across the great orme as well as other historic buildings that date all the way back to the Bronze Age.
The military installation you talk of is further down the road (about the 4 mile mark) and was a coastal gunnery school. Locally know as the Gun Sites
I love the Great Orme, its the first thing I do whenever I go to Llandudno. Its a limestone hill, it's like part of the southern peak district, but surrounded by the sea.
Love Wales. Such a beautiful place. Thanks for the video, makes me want to plan my next trip there! 😍
Hey guys, I used to work in Llandudno in my teenage years! Its ana amazing place with so much to do. There are many ways to get to the top of the great orme either walking, by the Victorian funicular tramway or cable car gondola. There are many things to do at the top including a cafe and a museum. Activities half way down the orme to the northwest side facing conway there is a copper mine and zip wire, also a tribute to lewis carol the quthor of alice in wonderland who was born in Llandudno. Llandudno has two stunning beaches on both sides of town. Driving round the orme, if you take binoculars march tomay you will see pods of dolphins and porpoise swimming. Lovely video, I long to go back soon.
I've enjoye all your videos, particularly the UK trip, but this is the one where you are clearly having the most fun :-)
Wales is my ancestral home, I visit every year I am so glad you enjoyed it.
Wales is incomparable, and Llandudno is excellent. Glad you enjoyed it.
I made a comment recommending the area, but maybe you didn't see it. The town of Conwy, quite close to Llandudno, has won many tourism awards. If you visit again, it's well worth a look.
Wales is so beautiful. I love the Pembrokeshire coast and Sandersfoot has the most beautiful beach. Lots of gorgeous spots actually and lovely people on the whole.
North Wales/Snowdonia in my favourite place in the UK. I'm glad you chose to visit! So green and pretty, and has a magical feel when the weather is good.
So glad you liked Wales. It truly is a wonderous place, full of beautiful sights.
When you mentioned Jellyfish my mind immediately went back to the time I was swimming in the sea and a Jellyfish went up the leg of my swim shorts and stung me at the top of the leg and my testicles. Ouch was very much NOT the word I said.
After a trip to Ireland where I was born. I got off the Ferry at Holyhead and was told we wouldn't be able to get back to London by train that night. I went for a run the next morning and fell in love with the place. I have been trying to move there ever since. Absolutely love Wales.❤
I'm so glad you came to Wales and got to see a piece of my beautiful country
If you come again to Wales all the Welsh Coast is beautiful, South Wales has Sandier beaches but also beautiful scenery as has West Wales, Tenby is a must for a beautiful seaside town. The United Kingdom is one larger island and 100s od small ones so nowhere in UK are you further than 100 to 150 miles from the sea. Thank you I have loved watching your adventures. Dioch (the Welsh word for thank you)
Cotton in the Elms is the furthest point at 70 miles apparently
You did really well driving yourselves 👍
I live on the coast I think walking along the piers and being near/seeing the sea is very calming - a good start to the day 💙
At least you can do a voice over when the sound is lost - better than losing vision 👍
It's years since I was last in Llandudno but absolutely adored the place. Great base for walks, beach and general chilling but also places to go if it's wet.
I love north Wales, beaches, castles and snowdoina and beautiful scenery all around 🙂
Shame about the scouse accents though!
@@handsolo1209 true but my friend hated me when we went to Rhyl because I know Welsh and he doesn't and there was I shop we went to and the shop keeper spoke Welsh, his poor confused face 🤣
@@handsolo1209 depends were you go caernarfon Bethesda is Welsh spoken the old school Welsh and few other towns Rhyl Prestatyn has adapted mix of accentts lot of English decent but if you go further back in ww2 when the bombings happened a lot of sgousers came to North Wales to be safe so some might have sgouse decent lot of big city's did this in the war same as London etc
Great video.
I’ve visited the states a number of times and loved it.
I’m glad you enjoyed Wales. We’ve lots of lovely places to visit 👍♥️
The Great Orme is one of my favourite places. We spent a long weekend in LLandudno earlier this year - I have a photograph of the goats roaming the streets!
Love driving down to Wales. I really recommend you guys checking out Harlech castle. It's beautiful, and if you're not used to seeing castles around, it's definitely a must visit.
Thanks guys for reminding me just how beautiful our country is. I am probably a two hour drive away from North Wales and rarely think about going for a day trip. It is beautiful, but as others have said the west coast of Scotland near Oban is my favourite place, but Cornwall and South Wales in Pembrokeshire is also fantastic.
I live 10 mins away from Llanudno and I run around Marine Drive on a regular basis. It's great to see you guys enjoying this wonderful area of the world.
Was lovely to see your sheer joy at the wonderful views of Wales, I live in England but Wales is my favourite place and I spend as much time as I am able in that beautiful place, you have so many more joys to experience yet you're only just beginning, can't wait to see your next adventure through Wale's
Wonderful place. I used go go there often as a youngster with my grandad . Wales is lovely , we often drove there from Manchester✨
"I was really tempted a look over the cliff, but I really dont wanna die" - complete agreement, I always think I'm gonna go right to the edge, then the danger of plunging down onto rocks brings me back to my sense!!! You did good, braver than me
Wales is a beautiful part of the world, my home for 10 years. Llandudno and Conwy are great and seeing you running around like a couple of kids was good to see. I'd always recommend a holiday in Wales - but you need to get in that sea.
Another fantastic video. The scenery was absolutely stunning.
Good Visits. Bodnant Gardens - Drive up the Conway valley from Conway. Also Port Meirion - an Italianate village on the coast. Also the slate mines up in the mountains. There is the worlds fastest ziplane up there as well. Or the Snowdon Mountain railway.
The reason for the long piers around Britain is that before the advent of the motor car all transport on land was by horse or horse-drawn carriage.
It was often quicker to go round the coast by boat but the size of boat meant a harbour or something where the boat could moor in deeper water .So piers stretching out to sea were built ,the passengers would alight then walk along the pier to the land.
Of course ,once there were cars the piers became obsolete for that purpose and became a local tourist attraction ,with games ,rides and sometimes a small theatre at the sea end .
Thank you so much for that information on piers. Often wondered about their use.✌️
Funnily enough, I like the way that you had to do a voice-over for some of those scenes because it actually helped emphasie how exposed these areas are. The views, especially out to sea, were absolutely stunning. Your videos both are both beautifully made, and fun to watch. 👍
As an Englishman I’ve got to say I Love Wales ❤. Get over as often as I can. Just slowly driving the coast roads. A stopping wherever something grabs attention.
Did you spot any Dolphins?
We lived in Llandudno for around 10yrs, have lived along the coast there for much longer than that. North Wales is beautiful especially the coast line. We live in a small village, still in North Wales, but in the Snowdonia area now, it's as pretty inland as coastal.
It has probably been said in the comments, but the hard foundations on the great orme were where gun emplacements were in ww2, there was a military barracks around the other side as you leave marine drive, just foundations now, but was quite an important place for trialing different wartime things out on the sea etc there.
Was the 'Rest & Be Thankful' cafe open on the top ? we knew the owners some time back, probably in new hands now. Lovely place to just relax have a pot of tea, teacake or whatever.
Lost count of the times we went around the orme, you can get a year pass, doesn't cost that much, also in winter you can just drive around no charge. It is a lovely place, but there are hundreds of places like that in North Wales, many are much more beautiful, its a land of beauty.
Great reaction to the beautiful scenery of North Wales. I visited that area numerous times as a child with my parents. Wonderful memories for sure & Snowdonia will be a real treat. Best wishes to you both 👍
Looks like you had fun there. It is a beautiful area. You were only about 5 miles from Conwy there so hope you managed to have a look there on your way to Snowdonia. It's an ancient walled town with in my opinion one of the best castles in Wales.
I loved this. I don’t understand why anyone would not recommend Llandudno to you as it is known to be beautifully varied and scenic. Every year the town celebrates its Edwardian heritage and its association with Lewis Carroll and the Alice in Wonderland books. You made a good choice in going there. People usually also go to the neighbouring town of Conwy which is almost too pretty and scenic for words as it has a harbour, ancient houses and a magnificent ancient castle which looks down to the quay where stands the cute smallest house in Britain which used to be a fisherman’s cottage. Perhaps I’m biased because I used to live in the area. I joined in with your excitement about the coast and ocean. Did you know that we Brits usually call our coast “the seaside” even though we know there really is a great ocean out there? Thankyou for your enthusiasm and for reminding me how much I enjoyed spending time there.
Yea I know its a sea but we always just call it ocean, like we call the gulf the ocean. We just never see it so we want to claim even if its technically not.
Maybe it's because Llandudno is a seaside resort. Had a holiday there when I was a child. It's a very good base for visiting Conwy, Caernarfon and the Llanberis Pass. Wales has a lot of attractions and it's noticeably different from England.
During the Covid lockdown the goats decided that foraging in people's gardens and window-boxes in Llandudno was much more fun than grazing the windy Great Orme. And in days gone by, you could have caught a day-trip steamer to the Isle of Man from that pier.
I'm glad you stopped a lot on your drive! The hardest bit about driving in Wales is being distracted by how beautiful it is!!
Hi Guys, really enjoyed that, as I said before next time in Wales come further south, check out a video called
"TENBY Wales | FULL TOUR from beach to town, castle and harbour!" on UA-cam.
It is our fave place to go to. Its only 45 mins from our home but we stay there maybe 4 times a year, its so magical.
It looks beautiful You two are crazy if you see something you need to climb up it or down it 😄 good job on the video
Wales is truly beautiful. The scenery, the views, the EVERYTHING. I love North Wales 🏴
The piece of metal you found under the pier is called a rowlock, pronounced "rollock" for some obcure reason as the spelling makes sense as it slots in a hole on the side of a rowing boat and holds the oar steady when rowing. I suspect the concrete platform on Great Orme may have been a gun platform from the second world war as the Irish sea was the entry to the Mersey and Liverpool where the Atlantic Convoys went into. Great place, close to our home, Wales is stunning.
