Llyn Padern Tree - What happened to the branch ?


On our last visit back in February, it was intact but now in October, it’s hanging off. Another iconic tree no longer as photogenic as it was. Not the best weather to capture it, it was far to nice a day.

The Mad Hatter





In 2012 four sculptures of characters from Alice in Wonderland were made by woodcarver Simon Hedger for the town of Llandudno as part of Llandudno's link with Lewis Carroll. The design of The Mad Hatter was based on the original illustrations by Lewis Carroll capturing the moment where it is always time for tea! Commissioned by Llandudno Council, he stands on the promenade in Llandudno. He was made of half of a 9-tonne Oaktree.

Beyond the Bridge



Tu Hwnt I’r Bont is the 15th-century courthouse (now tea room) which turns red in the autumn and Y Bont Fawr is the three-arched bridge in Llanrwst which crosses the River Conwy to Gwydir Castle, a manor house dating from 1492.
