Just a mile or so up the hill from Betws-Y-Coed you will find Swallow Falls. A pretty but forceful waterfall.

This photo was taken at about 8.30 am. I just happened to be passing when I could'nt help but notice the lake & the reflections.

I make no apology for including all the lake photos.

Mighty Caernarfon is possibly the most famous of Wales' many castles. Built by Edward 1, not only as a military stronghold but also as a seat of government

Caernarfon Castle is one of the most impressive of the castles built by Edward I and is one of Europe`s greatest medieval fortresses.

Bala Lake (Welsh: Llyn Tegid), in Gwynedd, Wales was the largest natural body of water in Wales prior to the level being raised by Thomas Telford to help support the flow of the Ellesmere Canal. It is 4 miles long by 1 mile wide and is subject to sudden and dangerous floods. The River Dee runs through it and the waters of the lake are famously deep and clear. The town of Bala sits at its northern end and the narrow gauge Bala Lake Railway runs for several kilometres along the lake's southern shore. A number of companies provide kayaks, yachts and various other types of boats for rent to tourists. At holiday times these services are very busy and prior booking is essential.

Harlech is part of the "Castles and Town Walls of King Edward in Harlech, Beaumaris, Caernarfon and Conwy (Gwynedd)" World Heritage site, reflecting its importance and remarkable state of preservation. The castle is now in the care of Cadw and is open to visitors.

Architectural historian Dan Cruickshank selected the Castle as one of his five choices for the 2006 BBC television documentary series Britain's Best Buildings.

Portmeirion has served as a location for films and television shows, most famously serving as The Village in weird 60's cult classic, The Prisoner.
