I went there today and spent most of the day in the Salt Mill ,it really is fascinating, great exhibitions of David Hockneys work , lovely atmosphere and I'm going to go back again tomorrow and check out the church , hopefully go on a canal boat ride and generally suck in the atmosphere of this amazing place. I also had the best ever victoria sponge in the cafe where the menu and. napkin logo were designed by Hockney! Thanks for a very interesting video .

You missed the main road at the top. Bradford Rd. A little clique of vintage shops. Also, there is a Saltaire festival every year during mid-September. It is absolutely worth a visit. Live act, music, food, fair, market over the dpace of a week. I go every time i can. There are many events at Robert Park throughout the year.

My Dad was born on a farm near Porthmadog and we went on holiday their every year as kids, he and relatives who still live there always pronounced it "Porth_Mad_og" with either a slight "g" sound on the end "Mad og" or a slight "c" sound "Mad uc" either will suffice

@@exploringthenorth The Farm my Dad grew up on in the 1940's overlooked Portmeirion just up the estuary from PorthMadog, another highly recommended place to visit. We always stopped at a pub / hotel which my Dads mate owned called the Oakeley Arms in maentwrog just up the river from Porthmadog. Not far from another must see location the hydroelectric dam at Tanygrisiau, above the dam is a third lake Llyn Cwmorthin, with ghostly abandoned slate mining village, Snowdonia in general is a magical place to visit.

Yeah my wife really wants to visit Portmeirion next time we visit, it’s supposed to be like a little Italian village in wales i think isn’t it. We were only in the area for a weekend though and with a £50 entrance fee to the village (for our family of 4) we thought we should research it a bit more before going there. Definitely on the list and will check out those other places you mentioned 😊 Thanks so much for sharing your insider knowledge 😁

Which did you prefer Porthmadog or Betws-y-coed? Going to wales with 11 & 9 year old
@exploringthenorth
@exploringthenorth 26 күн бұрын
Hi 👋 Out of the two it would have to be Betws-y-Coed for me I think as it had such a nice atmosphere, rivers and waterfalls etc. plus a big green play area. But that being said, with children of 9 and 11 it depends how much they like the beach as Black Rocks Sands was a good day out with castles nearby and the heritage railway might be fun for kids that age 🤔 Tough one but it depends if you value having easy access to the beach I guess 😊 Betws-y-coed also seemed nicely positioned as a base to explore the whole area.

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.

Oh so great to see Harlech castle again. I'm 83 and living out of the UK. As a small girl from 1945 until I was 14, we went every year for 2 weeks holiday, it took most of the day on trains to get there. The train driver from Barmouth to Harlech station knew my dad, and used to send his mate down the train to give us tin mugs of hot strong tea. When I visited the castle itt took several goes to climb up to walk the top walls as my little legs used to give way at the top of the narrow stairs. The castle has changed a bit with a lot of commercial things. I guess to bring in funds for the village and Harlech Castle.Lovely views especially if you visit nearby the hill just outside the village which people photograph the castle from. Thank you again for happy memories.

If you are visiting by car there is also a very large, free car park to the east of the main mill building - follow the satnav/GPS for Salts Mill Road (postcode BD17 7DR) There are brown signs for 'Salts Mill' and the '1853 Gallery'. Titus Salt specialised in not just any old wool, but Alpaca wool!. The Mill building is a great place to shop for gifts with a book shop, a kitchen/homewares shop, a jewellery shop and an art and art book shop. The cafes inside are good. There is a David Hockney exhibition - both permanent and occasional ones. A pleasant and interesting place to visit.

Beautiful village we, my Husband and I are keen walkers, a few years ago we decided to take the train from Leeds where we live, to Skipton. Then walk from the station to Gargrave using the canal path. A lovely leisurely walk, about 8 miles there and back to Skipton. There's also a beautiful church in Gargrave, lovely coffee shops and tea rooms, it's a lovely friendly English village.
