Our first visit to North Wales had us based in Bala, on the edge of the lake. We were staying at a residence owned by my company, so I shan’t be saying much about the accommodation (it was very comfortable and we even had our own mini ‘hallway’). We also ate most of our food there, so I won’t be commenting on that either (it was all really tasty). However, we did explore a bit of the ‘local’ area so that I will review.
“A historic English town which retains it’s medieval charm.”

Shrewsbury was a ‘stop-off’ point for us on our way to North Wales. I am always drawn to staying in quainter historic market towns rather than bigger cities, simply because they usually are nicer to walk around. Shrewsbury didn’t disappoint on that front. The town really has kept it’s ‘old feel’, with the layout of the town seemingly unchanged over the years. The centre of the town is littered with narrow streets and lanes, which are full of cute looking shops and cafes.
