I’ve been to Llandudno a few years ago and really enjoyed that but looking for another nice place to visit now. Closer to the beach…the better.

    Where I live I am higher than than the sea Mike so I walk along the front of the houses as there are no houses in front of me I can't say the name on here you would probably know it and the views across the sea are breathtaking I walk all the way down and the walk across the back of our houses and then back down its a big circle takes an hour to walk all the way round always with a fantastic view across the sea 

    It's a shame your not where you used to be but saying that I do know people who would rather not be by the sea and aren't kean on it 

    I think wales has a natural beauty

    When I was young we used to go on holiday to south Wales to a place called Fresh Water East in Pembrookshire, and I always found it to be such a beautiful place, with much better beaches than those of North Yorkshire.

    Yes I have been to verdies in mumbles @Libby_Scope but the best Welsh ice cream is Joe's ice cream cant beat it expensive if you go into the Joe's icecream parlour and eat it in I paid 20.00 for two tall glasses filled with an assortment of Joe's ice cream with sauce and all sorts of other nice things lol

    I can agree with @Libby_Scope's comment on Verdi's, I studied at Swansea too, and I always loved visiting there when in the Mumbles :) Everyone always said Joe's was better, but I preferred Verdi's, because there's such a lovely view inside when it's raining (which is more often than not)!

    In terms of the Gower my favourite place was always Rhossili Bay, it was so dramatic and changeable.

    Ha ha yes @Alex_Scope verdi's is nice but the Welsh will stick by Joe's  ice cream lol I only had Joe's ice cream on special occasions but alot of places do nice ice cream now with all the different flavours there is a nice ice cream place in Tenby on the other end of the beach north end beach I think its called and the different types of cones lol can't wait for the summer

    @lisathomas50 I have to say all this talk makes having an ice cream quite tempting  :D

    @CoffeeFirst I hope you can find somewhere nice by the beach in North Wales to enjoy one or two! You'll have to let us know where you decide.

    I once had a lovely holiday near Caernarfon, I especially remember driving through the pass of Llanberis and a day trip to Conwy.

    @Libby_Scope I loved it all there are some beautiful places there was one place we went and they did a boat trip around the lake that was nice but for the life of me I can't remember where we were  the camper van I got now was 14,000.00 second hand but I love it 

    It was 15 years ago when we went took us 7 weeks to get round are you staying in one of the lodges or a caravan park or a hotel
