Road Trip Part 2



I'll finish off the roadtrip we did while in Wales today.






This was the beach we ended up at having a picnic




and on the way home we stopped and took a photo of Aberystwyth from an overlooking hill





turning round you could see this view, if you enlarge the photo you can see a steam train going past













If you read last weeks road trip you will have seen an Arch, well we stopped there for a coffee
 And this is the Arch, was constructed to commemorate The Jubilee of King George in 1810 and the road used to go through it till it was moved south just to my left







We also stopped off near the mines to admire the view up this valley, you can see the old workings to the left.
  Driving back towards The Elan Valley I took this photo of another river Valley the river is  called the Afon Ystwyth






And this is near the top of the valley before you go into the Elan Valley





where we stopped off to take some photos of the pony's there
 We finished the day off watching the sunset

Su-sieee! Mac said...

Neat road trip. Interestingly, the hills near the mines look like the hillsides near San Francisco where mining was done in the early 1900s (not sure of the time right now). Some of the miners were Welsh immigrants.
