Another shot of Dolbadarn Castle, looking south towards the summit of Derlwyn, the northernmost peak of the Snowdon massif.

The summit and ridge-back of Moel Siabod, as seen from the shores of Llyn Elsi, a reservoir in the wooded hills to the south-west of Betws-y-Coed. The summit of Moel Siabod is 872m high. Moel Siabod translates from Welsh as Shapely Hill.

The National Slate Museum is housed in the former workshops of Dinorwic slate quarry, near Llanberis. The quarry closed in 1969, and the Museum opened in 1972. It reopened in 1999 after complete renovation funded by the National Lottery. It is now part of the National Museum of Wales.

The museum is home to the largest working waterwheel in mainland Britain. Constructed in 1870 and 15.4m in diameter, it continues to power belt-driven machinery throughout the workshops.

The lower passage in the curtain wall between the Queen's Tower and the Chamberlain Tower at Caernarfon Castle.

Caernarfon is one of the finest castles of the Middle Ages. It was built between 1283 and 1330 as a key part of Edward I's fortification of north Wales after the second war of Welsh independence. Along with castles and fortifications at Conwy, Beaumaris and Harlech, its importance was recognised with UNESCO World Heritage Status in 1986.

Another visit to the wonderful Fairy Glen, on the River Conwy near Betws-y-Coed. It's somewhere I visited back in January 2009, when I found it every bit as bewitching and beautiful.
