Wales 2023: Final day. Llandudno and Stratford-upon-Avon

A last walk along the shore at sunrise, with Jackie. On the way home we stopped at Stratford-upon-Avon. It has changed so much since I was last there, but we had time for a circular walk. Sorry I had to cut the sound of the buskers, but even accidental background music can have consequences in RUclips. Anyway, I hope you have enjoyed this visit to Gogledd Cymru with Jackie and I.

Great video Bernie I love the look of the seafront it is nice hearing the sea we love walking on a beach and listening to the waves ,Stratford is nice but it gets so busy and I totally agree with the price of entry it’s a big rip off to get in which is a shame as I`am sure they would get more in if it was cheaper ,thank you for sharing also nice to see Jackie in there as well 👍❤️

To pay or not to.pay, that is the question.
Nice video Bernie. Quite a contrast between the two towns . Very enjoyable.

To Pay, or not to pay, is indeed the question. Whether it is nobler to suffer the ignominy of feeding commercialism in the hope of stimulating the mind with history, or to invest the money in a nice meal somewhere to feed one's stomach. Decisions!!

Interesting to see places I have not seen .Stratford looks very busy.

[@stationmasterschoice-walku1307]

Thanks Ian . Stratford was indeed very busy. It's the old problem. How do you balance a natural and welcome interest in history with keeping visitor numbers to a reasonable level?

Sacrilege! Me up and walking on the sea front at 7am, but when you have an early start to your journey home, that has to be done unfortunately. The beach is a beach, be it shingle, sand or both as in this case. The detectorist rinses off his equipment after an early morning partaking of his hobby. The birds are risen long before the sun broke the top of the Orm and have long set off on there flight south, as we shall be setting off on our journey too. As for Stratford upon Avon I would rather rember it as I saw it in 1971/72.

@@jacquelinebarratt4647Great comment. And I certainly agree with you about Stratford.
