    Lovely jaunt ! We had a Ford Transit camper, with overhead extra bed for the kids, back in the late 1970's - went to North Wales many times - wonderful. We had a camping toilet corner cupboard in ours, which meant we were never in trouble looking for a suitable place to pull over - could go anywhere with our 'mod cons'. Just emptied it as needed. Compost toilets were not invented yet, but it was a good design that wasn't smelly. Had so many lovely times - we camped a lot at Dinas Dinlle on the north shore of the peninsula south of Bangor, huge sandy beach - wonderful to let the kids out & relax !!! Big beautiful view of the whole sweep of the bay, and always a great breeze. A bit off the main road, so look for the signposts ! I'm now 83 & in the US so no longer spending time there - but I do enjoy reminiscing about those wonderful holidays in North Wales ! I really loved discovering all the history everywhere too !

      At the time we were able to camp right on the top of the beach, just off the roadway, so that is what we mostly did. but there is an official camp site behind the beach area too. That beach was NEVER crowded either which we didi not understand, but I'm telling the world now, so that may change ! Haha !

    We were in England & Wales in 2018 visiting friends. We were in Snowdonia it is very beautiful. We traveled to Caernarfon to visit the Caernarfon Castle which was lovely. The castle Museum was wonderful to tour. I loved the photos & bio of the soldiers that serviced in wars. They had a section for children who could dress in the war uniforms & watch films about the medieval times. They also had Dragon that the children could sit on. Pamela

    Nice vlog. We did a tour of Wales earlier in the year and stayed here for a couple of nights. As you rightly said, it’s brilliant for strolls into the town where doggos are welcome in a lot of places. Plus of course there are a lot of walks in all directions. Despite all that, like a lot of places I found this site to be a little too clicky and more dog-tolerant rather than dog-friendly. Signs saying you had to toilet your dog off-site (I tried but my two wouldn’t listen) and little ‘no dog’ flags stuck in the grass. My wife described it as a glorified car park and after an unnecessarily clipped-tone reception, we are unlikely to make it our first choice next time. It all comes down to what sort of stay you want - I prefer wide open spaces where I can spread out, sit back without an audience and throw a ball for my dogs to chase

    Hi Guys enjoyed this one as usual. Just wondered do you know where you can get the train to? Also would you say 3 nights is enough or if we stay longer would there be plenty to do in the area. Cheers Dave

    • @littlebigvanadventures
      @littlebigvanadventures  Před rokem +1

      Id say at least 3 or 4 nights. If your into walking, its a great place to start some beautiful walks in Snowdonia - you also have Swallow falls that you can visit. You can even jump on the train and go into Llandudno for the day...Hope you have a good stay! 😁
