The Ultimate Destination - Short Breaks In UK
It is a well known fact that taking short breaks are beenficial, everyone should do this and in the UK this is an easy thing to accomplish. This s a small island, with big history and a brilliant public transport system so short breaks in UK are easy to do, inexpensive if out of season and there is no reason not to do this.
We don't have a great deal of space here, so I am going to discuss North Wales, mainly because of my bias toward this beautiful countryside. Although visiting North Wales is almost like entering another country, it is still part of the UK. People here still speak Welsh, and reading the names of the towns and villages makes you feel as though you are in another country.
Snowdonia fortunately is a name that everyone can get their tongue around, but how about "Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch", also a small village in North Wales, close to Snowdonia, in fact just across the Menai Straits on Angelsey, and it has to be seen to be believed. To master that name you would need longer than a short break!
Some of the best beaches in the UK have their home in North Wales, and Anglesey in particular has great beaches. Lligwy Beach is exquisite and has a Green Coast Award. You cannot driver faster than 10mph, but who wants to when so much beauty can be found. If you are a surfer the Llyn Peninsula and Black Rock Sands should be your destination. When the tide does out you are able to explore caves and caverns of different hued rock.
A visit to Beaumaris Castle is a must and the medieval town of Beuamaris it quite beautiful. When they say it's all in a name, they mean it in relationship to this town. The name is derived from the French/Norman and it means beautiful marsh. The castle is from the era of King Edward I and it has murder slots (defense for the inner bailey), spy holes, a moat and a drawbridge. Work began on this castle in 1295, continued for 35 years and was never finished, not that you would know, because it is a technically perfect example of a castle of its time, and the best surviving example in the world.
