Thanks, I'm sure that there are lots more ways to say Betws-y-coed, I'd be interested in another way :-)<br />It's true that you have to pay to visit Hardraw Force but for some reason that seems more acceptable as a specific journey has to be made there, it feels like a proper entrance fee and it has a focus at the end. High Force has an entrance fee as well but there is a sense there that you money is spent maintaining the path ... as will be the case with the others.<br />Recycling buildings are quite common with every town and city having an eye on the tourist industry. This particularly building with its multifunctional use seems to be saying "start your visit here".<br />At a first glance, it seems that Telford only worked in certain areas, but the more you dig, the more surprises you come across. Although he mainly did his work around the north to mid Wales borders radiating westwards for Irish transport links, he assisted later in life with St Katherine's Dock beside Tower Bridge.<br />I did wonder about your last comment. The Woollen Mill at Llanfair PG seems to exist to provide a break in the journey for a few reasons :-) including a biscuit buying opportunity, thats where the inviting scene ends !<br /><br />Trevor... Thanks, Nikon D5000 camera.<br /><br />George The Lad... Thanks, I thought that you would know this place better than me. I'm standing on your toes as I'm bordering on your patch.<br /><br />Rafael Lam... Thanks, its always nice to escape to the country as I live in the city as well.<br /><br />Debbie... Thanks, the Love Spoons are an interesting and unique historical concept that haven't always thought to have been decorative enough to put up on the wall. The waterfall entrance is on a busy road and the temptation is always to drive further on in favour of the beautiful Snowdonia countryside. On this occasion, I didn't have a choice as the coach driver opted not to stop there. On the previous occasion I passed it, I needed to make a an early start to get a space in a small car park for a day in the Snowdonia Hills... 1996 !<br /><br />Cherry Pie... Thanks, it's not a place that I have the opportunity to visit very often and can count on one hand my visits here. The last time was for a pre walk mountain weather forecast back in 1996 to the Cotswold Camping shop !<br /><br />Midwest to Midlands... Thanks, pleased that you enjoyed it as it has so many special memories for you.<br /><br />Monika... Thanks, I'm pleased you enjoyed the tour here, I always like doing a post with variety.<br /><br />Travelling Hawk...

But since there's room for differing opinions on the pronunciation, maybe there's room for an American pronunciation too. lol<br /><br />You have to pay to see a waterfall?? Then again, I guess we had to pay to see Hardraw Force, so maybe that's not uncommon over there?<br /><br />I love the old gray buildings. It always surprises me that buildings there don't die from natural causes, they're just re-purposed, like the stables were. How nice!<br /><br />Telford was a busy man, wasn't he! What a very interesting post. Would love to visit that neck of the woods someday. Your last shot is such a beautiful and inviting scene!Cranberry Morninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10758563068581561194noreply@blogger.com
