Meini Hirion (Druid's Circle)

Reviewed By Cofiwch57

As a local resident this is an ancient place of sanctuary and historical significance. Like many preserved megalithic spots here, it is not a national tourist destination, and should be respected as such. Use an ordnance survey map rather than Google, looking at a proper map will help you see the significance of the area. Don't expect a red carpet for parking - the lane and jubilee pillars should be kept clear for the farmer and emergency services due to access restrictions on the steep bend. If you want to visit this place then it is advisable to park by the library and walk up via the fisheries. This area is full of wildlife and you must remember to pick up your litter. The ground gets boggy in places. If you're a keen hiker then this is an easy walk. If you have dodgy knees and expect signs and paths then stick to the beach. Remember that the weather closes in rapidly between the mountains and the sea so be prepared for wind and rain. Although some days you can be blessed with complete calm and sunshine with a panoramic views. Remember Wales is not a theme park and leave it as you found it.

RNLI Llandudno Lifeboat Station

Reviewed By lovetrav_9 - Old Colwyn, United Kingdom

This recently built Lifeboat Station is situated on the promenade towards the Little Orme and really is impressive. Unfortunately we were unable to gain access in order to see the lifeboat and the equipment properly; we shall have to return on a Sunday. The station has been very tastefully built and looking through the windows, the lifeboat and equipment look impressive. Having lived right by the sea in another area of the country that had a lifeboat, I know and appreciate what a brilliant job the lifeboat crews do to save lives at sea, often at great risk to themselves, so they deserve the best equipment.

Conwy Town Walls

Reviewed By 358EricN - London, United Kingdom

Conwy town walls are one of the few medieval examples in Britain that are almost complete. The fact that you can walk almost the whole length (free!) Makes them all but irresistible. The only daunting aspects are the uneven surfaces (well, wouldn't you expect that after well over 700 years?), some heights that may make some people nervous and a few steep climbs that do tax this septuagenarian. All can be overcome with a little care and it is certainly worth it. From the views up and down the Conwy estuary from the lowest point of the wall jutting into the river, to the spectacular vista of the town from the highest point of the wall every step offers a new perspective. Even better, you are never far from a good place for a rest and refreshment whenever the need arises at any of the 6 access points to the wall. Keep an eye on the kids and imagine yourself as a member of the English garrison charged with keeping the Welsh out of the town once the curfew bell had sounded. It offers an opening into the fascinating history of the area.
