  • Wales-Ireland Travelogue 2009
    WALES AND IRELAND TRIP MAY 12 TO JUNE 4, 2009 What a coincidence! Meaningless, to be sure - but a coincidence, nonetheless. Our trip to the British Isles in 2009 began and ended one day earlier than our trip to Scotland, May 14 to June 5, 2001. (One can only hope that September of this year doesn't hold the same sort of unpleasant surprise that was visited upon us eight years ago.) OK, so I made a "small" error - we are departing two days earlier, not one. And, OK, so it wasn't much of a coincidence, was it? I mean, a real coincidence - one of excruciating consequence - occurred at the Polo Grounds in NYC on October 3, 1951 when Ralph Branca of the Blessed Brooklyn Dodgers was called in to pitch in the 9th inning and, by coincidence, Bobby Thomson of the Bestial New York Giants happened to come to bat, and, by coincidence, Mr. Branca happened to throw a pitch that the aforementioned Mr. Thomson happened to swing at, and, by coincidence, made contact with said pitch and drove it a miserable 309 feet into the first row of the left- field seats of the absurdly apportioned Polo Grounds, thus ending the Dodgers' season and causing a certain 12-year-old, watching on TV, in Brooklyn to burst into tears. Now that was a coincidence! But I digress. Tuesday, May 12 to Wednesday, May 13 Rather than leaving our car at the Seattle Airport Parking Garage (cost for three-plus weeks $468) or at an airport hotel (about $335) we decide to try the new Gig Harbor Taxi (at $95 each way, including tip).

It is poised on the twin rocky hilltops overlooking the mouth of the River Conwy, where the powerful 6th-century ruler of Gwynedd, Maelgwn ‘the Tall’, once held court. For more information, see page 15 © Princes of Gwynedd of © Princes If it’s a photo opportunity you’re after, then Criccieth Castle, a much contested fortress located high on a headland above Tremadog Bay, is a must. For more information, see page 15 © Princes of Gwynedd of © Princes If you prefer a remote, more contemplative landscape, make your way to Cymer Abbey, the Cistercian monastery where monks bred fine horses for Llywelyn ap Iorwerth, known as Llywelyn ‘the Great’.

    3) Penmachno to Betws-y-Coed Close to the Machno mills, the minor road leading back to Betws-y-Coed crosses the River Machno by means of a stone arch known as Pant Bridge, built c1850. Just downstream may be seen a fine example of a medieval pack-horse bridge, a single-segmental arch often misleadingly referred to as "Roman Bridge"; an attempt no doubt to promote tourist interest. The remains of another derelict fulling mill, "Pandy Mill", are to be found further along the road near the junction of the Conwy and Machno rivers (808532). Hereabouts also there is some evidence of an old salmon ladder, which enabled fish returning to the spawning grounds to climb up the falls. The present village of Penmachno came into being principally as a result of development of the local slate quarries, although its previous importance as a river crossing is represented by the old three-arched bridge, Pont Llan. Unusually these arches are of elliptical profile, the design of which (according to the plaque) is attributed to "I. Hughes, The Harry Parry of Carnarvon", and dates from 1785. The atmosphere of the quarrying community is still strongly evident in the workmen's cottages and chapels of Glanaber Terrace, hard by the workings themselves. Cwm Machno Slate Quarries, although fairly large and in production as recently as 1961, did not share the fame of other concerns at nearby Ffestiniog, and was typical of a medium-sized company operating by traditional methods. The slate mill stands stripped of machinery in the quarry floor; the pit for a 16 ft waterwheel that provided power for saws and trimmers is clearly visible alongside, and a small foundry was housed in the adjacent building.
