A busy day today.  We started by walking from Church Bay to the Arches, a coastal walk covering about 5 miles.  Lovely walk, but boy, was it hot! After failing to find a pub open, we returned to the cottage for a quick change, some refreshment and on to Traeth Bychan, for a spot of kayaking - yes - kayaking! From there it was but a small drive to Moelfre for our evening meal. We had a table reserved at the Country Inn at 7.30pm for a steak meal, but the wait turned out to be lengthy, so we made haste to the Kinmel Arms where we enjoyed a delightful meal.

Thursday 22nd - we visited South Stacks, to the west of Anglesey, which is home to countless razorbills, cormorants and a few puffins. What an amazing view! The RSPB are here in force, watching the cliffs and filming the birds as they lay their eggs and care for their chicks.

Friday 23rd - after coffee at The Boathouse, we visited Penrhyn Castle - a beautiful National Trust property just outside Bangor. Penrhyn Castle is a 19th century castle, or actually a facsimile copy of a medieval castle. It was built by the Pennant family, who made their fortune from the sugar and slate industries. We were allowed a special trip to the roof of the castle in the afternoon, giving us stunning views across Snowdonia and across the Menai Strait.
