My holiday in North Wales, August 2009. Includes video of Gwydir Castle, the holiday village of Portmeirion, Caernarfon Castle, a trip on the steam driven Ffestiniog Railway, Julian Savory improvising on the organ at Betws-y-Coed Parish Church, a visit to Sygun Copper mine and the village of Beddgelert.

I stayed at the Sygun Fawr guest house and had a very enjoyable time:

The sound track includes my own midi arrangements of pieced by Ammerbach and Gluck, and the popular hymn tunes Sagina and Tetworth.

This video has been updated to correct some misspelt place names.

Good to see so many places I knew as a kid and I've never actually seen the swing bridge working before lol.

@lancashiremarcus I had more film of the bridge- but I thought watching it swing all the way across could have got a bit boring!
