I'm glad I'm not the only one thinking where IS Port Madoc then lol😂😂❤

Thanks for all your videos. Love watching them.
Llanfair beach between Harlech and Barmouth town by the coast.. is a lovely long beach. Years ago there was a little Welsh chapel sinking in the sands amongst the spiky grass. Also you can see an inlet called ..Shell island .. where shells were collected to make figurines to sell in Harlech local shops at one time.😂 I have many memories of Snowdonia area, North Wales.

Thanks so much for sharing that! We really want to go back to the area and explore more places so we’ll definitely add that one to the list 😊 Sounds great 👍🏼 Glad you’re enjoying the videos too 😁

Thank you guys.
Hope you’re all doing well?

We walked around Porth a couple of years ago, but despite keeping a sharp lookout, never encountered a madog. Just unlucky, I reckon.

I was told later in the day that the locals simply call it Porth. Knowing that would have made life much easier in the video 😅
