Dolwyddelan Castle

We did quite a lot of driving around Snowdonia National Park after we left the village, trying to find some interesting places to stop for some lunch. Mike had been to Dolwyddelan Castle before, which is a half ruined keep of an old Welsh castle way up on a hill. Mikeloved the car park I think because he was able to do some tricks in his car while I was taking photos! The people that live near the castle probably thought we were insane climbing up there in all the snow, but it was well worth it when we got to the top! The main keep is still avaliable to go inside, and once there, they have adorable little window seats and you can climb some stairs up to the top. The view was amazing! I think it was even better because of the snow and you could really see for miles because of the lovely blue sky. We had a great time throwing snow off the roof (hopefully not causing a avalanche!) and spent some time exploring the one exterior wall which was left standing. It was amazing to think what an amazing place it once must have been!
