Touring Suggestions

Wales

• Glydderau range to the North of the Snowdon massif, with the Castle of the Winds, Mt Tryfan and more
• Conwy – a walled medieval city with a fabulous castle
• Caernarfon – as above, but even better
• Portmeirion – an art deco town created entirely for parties, it seems. Music festivals and more are held here.
• Betws Y Coed with Zip World Forest, a fun aerial ropes course, and underground zip lining is also near here, as are tours of massive slate caverns

UK

• Brighton – seaside veg mecca with a pier with floating funpark, historic ‘lanes’, a bizarre palace and much more – only 1 hr by train from London
• Oxford – city of dreaming spires
• Cambridge – as above, but with a slightly better University (or not, as some have argued – for centuries…!)
• London – one of the world’s greatest cities, with attractions galore. Definitely take the commuter ferry from the London Eye to Greenwich, explore, and return by underground. And don’t miss Camden Market!
• Edinburgh – a spectacular medieval city
• Northern Scotland – wild and spectacular
• Channel Islands – beautiful, rugged coastal hiking and 3 historical sets of fortifications: iron age, medieval (castles – some naturally accessible only at low tide!) and massive WWII bunkers – the only area of the UK occupied by the nazis and heavily fortified by them

Europe

• Venice!
• The Alps – Chamonix is a perfect base
• Paris
• Mallorca and the Balearic Islands
