We drove through some pretty neat places to get to Ruthin, passing a Castle or two on the way. There sure are a lot of cars in the UK - tiny little streets and Pay and Display Car Parks in every little village we visit. We can count on our one hand the number of times we've been able to actually park the car without getting a ticket and walking 1/4 mile to town. Of course since we are eating and drinking like there's no tomorrow (or waistline to worry about) that's probably as good an exercise program as we're going to get. This Castle in Conwy, north Wales was very big and busy, and there's about 5 Castles all basically within a stones throw of each other.... after a while (like you looking at these pictures) you begin to ask the question, how many darn Castles can a couple of Canadian Tourists explore.
We were a little anxious about this Hotel - that Gemma booked, because there were a couple of negative reiews on Trip Advisor, but it actually turned out to be a great little place. Food was good and the little town was great to explore... there was a neat Castle there and a building called 7 Eyes of Ruthin (because of the seven dormer windows) which is the first picture shown underneath. Great night's sleep and looking foward to our drive tomorrow to one of our most favourite places in the world - The Yorkshire Dales!
