Circular drive and beautiful scenery.

Our route today, more or less.

The area around Bala is truly lovely.

Using a book that we had, The Most Amazing Scenic Journeys in Britain by Reader's Digest, we used one of the suggested routes.  We tried to stick to it closely to it as we could, as well as deviating off it now and then but getting back onto the suggested route.

We started off by driving down the east side of the Llyn Tegrd lake near Bala then took an unnamed narrow road over the mountains to Trawsfynnyd.  Farms along the road were remote, the moorland and landscape at times bleak but yet beautiful.  I was given the task of opening and closing farm gates as we went along. 

St. Cybi's Well

From Trawsfynnyd we drove over to Porthmadog, around the Lleyn peninsula via Pwlheli and Abersoch, Aberdaron, over to Nefyn and then Llangybi.  At Llangybi we stopped to see St Cybi's Well - the water of which was believed to have caused miracles - sick people would get well if they bathed in the waters or drank the water.  We took back roads from Llangybi to Porthmadog then went back to Bala via the B4391 and an unnamed road.

Wowwww...!!, when seeing such beautiful surrounds I am so grateful to be alive but humbled by mother nature.  Her formidable forces that craft and make the landscape to what it is: pushing up mountains and seemingly squashing in valleys, or the wind and rain that erodes away at rocks and cliffs; and so much more.
