Village Squire, 1975-04, Page 28with an errant lamb wandering down the
middle of the road.
A personal incomplete list of places of
particular interest would include:
•World's End, a century -old cottage, where,
according to local legend, Queen Elizabeth
1 gave birth to an illegitimate child in 1563.
•Marford, where a group of tiny, scaled-down
houses with a decidely Moorish architec-
tural influence huddle at the side of the
road. They are thought to be more than 500
years old, although no one is really sure
and there does not appear to be an
explanation for their size, which does not
permit even an individual of average height
to stand up straight in the rooms.
*Isle of Anglesey, separated by a narrow
channel from the mainland and boasting
125 miles of bays and beaches, none more
than 15 miles from the centre of the island.
•Snowdonia National Park, an 845 square
mile tract of land extending from the
approaches to Caernarvon and Conway
southwards to the Dovey Estuary in
mid -Wales. Some of the finest mountain
scenery, interspersed with wooded valleys
which shelter tiny stone hamlets, are to be
found here.
•Aberystwyth, the popular seaside resort in
mid -Wales. University College of Wales
and the National Library''of Wales are
located here, and you need a map to find it
because the word is almost impossible to
pronounce.
•Any pub or inn in the country or small
villages. Find one that serves Wrexham
draft lager, order a pint and eat the
ploughman's lunch consisting of cheese,
pickles, raw fresh vegetables and an apple.
Great value at just over a dollar for food
and drink. If'you're lucky the publican and
the regulars standing around many even
switch from Welsh to English and ask
where you're from.
