Conwy Castle and Swallow Falls

In this video we visit Conwy Castle on the North Welsh coast then, the following day we visit the amazing Swallow Falls at Betws-y-coed.

Some info about the area:

Conwy Castle is on the north coast of Wales. It was built between 1283 and 1289 during King Edward I's second campaign in North Wales.

Swallow Falls is a name coined by early tourists for the Rhaeadr Ewynnol, (English: Foaming Waterfall), a waterfall in Wales, located on the Afon Llugwy near Betws-y-Coed, in Conwy county borough. It is visited by thousands of tourists annually.

I have made a twitter post about this. Others no doubt will like it like I did.

what is really weird is on some of the shots, you see these beautiful castles, and in the background, you see vehicles. They just don't seem to mix very well for me. ha ha ha!! Very awesome shots. -- The castle in the beginning almost looked like the one in Monty Python and the Holy Graile. :0) Excellent video!
