Aberdaron

Aberdaron is a small sea-side village that sits at the end of the Lynn Peninsula. In days gone by it was the last stop for pilgrims on the way to Ynys Enlli, the ‘Isle of 20,000 Saints’ otherwise known as Bardsey Island:

Tydden Iago Views

In September we got away for a couple of weeks to the Llyn Peninsula in North Wales. It’s only about 3 hours from where we live on the Wirral, but as this was our first holiday with Daisy the dog (who turned 1 year old whilst we were away) we didn’t want to go too far.

We stayed in a lovely barn conversion called Tydden Iago, pretty much at the end of the Llyn Peninsula and a few miles from Aberdaron. Below are a few shots of views from the cottage:

Arley Hall & Gardens

Arley Hall in Cheshire has been in the same family since the late 15th Century, although the current hall was built in the 1830’s/1840’s. Fans of the BBC drama “Peaky Blinders” may recognise the house as Tommy Shelby’s home from series three onwards.
