Deviousness |
This was actually the first time I had been to Borth, I knew there were cliffs there so thought I'd go for a look, I was hoping to see the submerged forest but the tide never got low enough. It's a bit of a building site there at the moment, but that was away from the cliffs so it was all good!
Funnily enough I also went for a wander around Devils Bridge, all those steps! Unfortunately, as is often the case in Wales, it was raining rather heavily, so I was unable to get any decent shots!
I love this part of Wales though, it's somewhere that I'll continue to go back to.
Aberdyfi is a charming little place; I was just looking at cottages and holidays there, thinking it would be lovely to go back. We generally go further north now, into Snowdonia, but the Borth/Aberdyfi area is gentler, but no less picturesque.
There are plenty of B+B's and self-catering cottages or apartments around that area. I was staying at a B+B called The Vanner, just on from the jetty area, overlooking the estuary. There was some on-street parking outside, but it was hard to get a space, however, there is a free car-park down the other end of town near the train station, it's a bit of a walk, but it's free so can't grumble!
When I was there it did not, but that was um...early 80's? Health and safety was a warning sign and hand-rails XD) Luckily it was not wet, I seem to remember, but my legs were like spaghetti. It was worth it though.
Thank-you for the recc. The last time I went through there was on a train going up to Llanaber, above Barmouth to stay with a relative, but it would be lovely to make it a base for a holiday. A shame the weather let you down, as it can be wonderful, but it's always beautiful. And there are nesting ospreys on the Dyfi estuary, and otters, which I would love to see!
this is a lovely photo
It is very nice, I recommend a visit if you ever get the opportunity!
