After covering the valley in a blanket, the morning mist trailed away, like the steam trains of bygone days, leaving us with this scenic delight

This is amazing news! Well done Wales! This country has so many incredible treasures!



"An area famed for its slate industry has joined Egypt's Pyramids, India's Taj Mahal and the Grand Canyon to become a Unesco World Heritage Site.

The slate landscape of north-west Wales has become the UK's 32nd site on the prestigious list after the World Heritage Committee approved the UK bid."

The north-west slate mining area is said to have "roofed the world" at its height in the 19th Century.

"I'm holding a jellyfish!"

The great British seaside and all its natural wonders never fails to entertain children! They lap it up in buckets and spades 🏖😁🐚

Trecco Bay is a beach and seaside resort great for families and full of discoveries. It has been a traditional holiday destination in South Wales since the 1930s when miners from the Valleys would flock down en masse for their annual two-week break, the last week of July and the first week of August, known as Miners' Fortnight. The caravan holiday park near the beach is now one of the biggest in the UK!

From .ride.retreat, a traditional miner's house right next to , you can retrace and enjoy the same seaside day-trip as the miner's did back in the heyday of Trecco Bay.
