Bath

Rate 7. Required time: 0,5 – 1 day.

We stopped for night at one of 2 best hotels of Bath - Hilton Bath City (the second one is Royal Crescent Hotel). I booked this hotel room (the same thing I did with all other hotels) on www.hoteleine.com. Bath is a small health-resort town famous for its thermal springs, discovered by the Romans. Besides you should visit the Abbey and the Circus (a round square). Pump Room restaurant is worth visiting. Then you can assume that your Bath program is completed.

Rate 9: Required time: 1- 2 daylight hours

If you check weather forecast and it promises a sunny weather you should drop in here for sure. It`s on the border of the UK and Wales and  its history dates back to the 10th century, it used to be the centre of culture, science and religion on the island. Today it is a source of inspiration. It`s indescribable, I recommend you to see photos and video, but it would be better to arrive here especially if you are on your way to Wales.

Rate 6. Variants of visiting:
Drive along on car: 2 hours
Take a walk: 1 day
Tracking: 2 -3 Days

It looks like New Zealand, while you are driving, the landscape keeps changing. Only two things are the same: there are sheep around and everything is very beautiful.

Restaurant Plas Bodegroes
Rate Pwllheli: 5
Rate of the restaurant: 9
Required time: 4 hours - 1 day and night

One more important discovery was waiting for us here: restaurants serve dinner from 12 to 14, supper only from 7 pm. In fact we wanted to go to the Michelin restaurant Plas Bodegroes, the only one in the neighborhood and it is on the way to Caernavorn. I would describe this place in such a way: it`s the very edge of the Wales. That day we made the only one mistake in our route:  we should have stopped at Plas Bodegroes (there are rooms there to), and visited Snowdonia and several exciting castles the next day. And the day before we should have driven to Bristol where where a lot of hotels historically have similar names. I am sure, next trip we`ll correct all our mistakes =)

Caernarvon Castle, North Wales

Rate: Required time: 2-3 hours

There is one place of interest in this small town which is worth visiting - Caernavorn Castle, one of the best fortified structures I`ve ever seen.  But we came late at night (because of our mistake) and didn`t get inside the castle.
