There are lots of other beaches like Dinas Dinlle that are just right for relaxing, but there are other beaches that have marinas for the more adventurous who have a love of sailing.
I will take you to as many as I can in the coming weeks and months.

Today I want to show you a spectacular walk, it is a walk in one of the most beautiful valleys left behind from the ice age, it looks as if it has been scooped out by a giant hand, leaving mountains and hills all around a lovely Cwm, (lake!)
2 thirds of the way round the lake there is an opening in the base of the mountains, it's more like a large deep crack, and you can climb up in it to the top and it's called The Devils Kitchen, but be warned everyone, if you venture up the hills and mountains of  Snowdonia, you must wear proper footwear, although there are lot of pathways, most of them are made of large stones and rocks, and without the proper walking boots you could easily break an ankle, you must wear the proper gear, and that way you will be safe and be able to enjoy the surrounding countryside in all it's glory!

This is the start of the path that goes all the way round the Cwm ((Lake)) and if you look very carefully at the top right hand side of the picture you can see that deep crack I was telling you about, that is the start of the Devils Kitchen.


Looking back to the path that leads you into the valley.


This is about the halfway mark, and on a hot sunny afternoon we were very grateful to be able to sit in the shade and admire the fantastic view!! and see just how far we had walked.


Nearly back to the beginning of the path, and No! we didn't venture up into the Devils Kitchen, lololol, perhaps another time. This is the far end of the Cwm (Lake) you can see in the picture above.



Another view of the hills and mountains surrounding the Cwm, absolutely stunning!



And a wayside marker telling you just exactly where you are and some very interesting details.
