In North Wales you simply can't miss the island of Anglesey! This place was popular long before the invasion of Instagram bloggers. Since the 1st century AD, the most talented Celts have come here in the hope of becoming druids after 20 years of study.<\/p>\n

You won\u2019t be able to learn to be a Druid here anymore, but it\u2019s worth visiting this land if only for the fabulous Welsh language and the cutest puffins. There are also impressive castles, dense forests, seas, mountains, lighthouses, impressive portions of homemade food and other equally cool bonuses (except the weather)!\u00a0<\/p>\n

Plas Newydd \/ Llanfairpwllgwyngyll<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Let's start our journey from Place Newyd – the mansion of a succession of English marquises, which was built in the 18th century. In addition to the luxurious neo-Gothic estate, you will find 16 hectares of garden and 52 hectares of forest park. There is also a museum<\/a> of art and history, where red squirrels live and where you can enjoy a delicious Welsh pie.<\/p>\n

Now the estate operates as a museum, ticket price for adults is $14. To be honest, I quickly got lost in the ornate history<\/a> and behind-the-scenes intrigues of<\/a> the Welsh aristocrats. However, it is impossible not to note how carefully the Welsh preserved their former wealth.<\/p>\n

It seems as if he really not only traveled back in time, but also won the genetic lottery, being born into the “higher stratum of<\/a> society.” The carefully arranged details of the personal wardrobe of the former owners seem to still be waiting for their masters to return again.<\/p>\n

But, perhaps, what impressed me the most was the nature around me: white sailboats on the Menai Strait, the misty peaks of Snowdonia, an alley of mighty Monterey cypresses, a garden of roses, snow-white water lilies and light sweet air after the rain.\u00a0<\/p>\n

If you get hungry while walking around the park, try a piece of the most delicate Welsh pie at The Old Dairy Caf\u00e9 or at The Sunroom Kiosk.<\/p>\n

By the way, fun fact: the estate is located on the outskirts of a town with the longest name in Britain – Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch. Loosely translated from Welsh, it means “St. Mary's Church by the White Hazel Pool next to the Furious Whirlpool and St. Tisilio's Church in the Red Cave.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

As it turns out, the name was invented in 1869 as an early PR stunt to attract attention to the new railway station. No other station in the country had such a long name, and to this day no equal has been found. It seems that the trick worked, because the place still welcomes about 200 thousand tourists<\/a> a year. For them, this station is the most important attraction<\/a>.<\/p>\n

You can find out more information about Place Newyd on the<\/a> British National Trust website.<\/a><\/p>\n
