Title: Ruthin or Denbigh
Post by: 1066 on August 22, 2011, 00:05:20: Hi
I've got to make a quick visit to this part of N Wales, so which would be nicer to stay in (looking at B&B's) ? It's a gazillion years since I was last in this part of the world and have no idea what either town is like. the other option is to stay on the coast, but thought it might be nice to have a change of seaview ::)

Thanks :)

A lot further away but have you ever tried Criccieth. One of our favourite places,

What are the north coast towns like these days - Colwyn, Llandudno, Abergele, Ryll, etc etc

used to spend holidays at Criccieth - trouble now is that it's a looooong way from Hastings ;) But who knows, maybe one day I'll get time to potter around my childhood and family haunts :)
