I need to visit again - especially as I grew out of car sickness:) Fantastic pictures!

We didn't get to Penmon either, unfortunately, as Beaumaris was a pretty long drive from our cottage and we couldn't face driving any farther, especially as it was so chilly and windy that day! <br /><br />Maybe you could post your pics of Llywelyn's sarcophagus on your blog, if you can find them?

Also, did you manage to get to Penmon Priory? I love Llywelyn's land - it always feels like a second home to me - and seeing these photos brought back lovely memories of when I was last there :-)Jules Frusherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08207281934232383811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19545049.post-46605072847894151542009-10-09T10:21:49.595+01:002009-10-09T10:21:49.595+01:00Thanks, all!
