After a busy start to 2024 for Ruby full of snoozing and lazing, it was decided she deserved a holiday. After a LOT of searching by Rubys mam for the perfect cottage, Maes Yr Hendre holiday cottage was picked.
The cottage is over 200 miles away so we stopped halfway to give Tiggy a rest and Ruby a picnic at Ribblehead Viaduct. This area itself will be a future Tiggy Tour for sure, not just a stop off.
After a rest we were ready to continue on our way to North Wales. After an hour or so of boring motorways and A roads it was time to get adventuring onto single file roads as we headed to the cottage.
Our first view of the cottage.
Ruby approved of the garden and the football.
Tiggys spot for the week.
Ruby quickly picked her room and wasn't daunted by the rug on the floor looking like a grey Cavapoo.
A few more pics of inside the cottage.
We had a few trips out as can be seen in the North Wales Tours links at the bottom of this page. We did have one local walk around the local area on the last day, this is the route we took.
Some pics from that walk.
After a week of chilling out, meandering around gardens, ruins, rivers, waterfalls and mountain climbing, we packed up and headed for home.
This time, to break up the long drive, we stopped off for a picnic by Torside Reservoir. Parking at the Torside Car Park (Pay and Display parking with toilets!) and following a gravel path to the picnic spot.
A couple of photos are below, I didn't take many as my concentration went due to various stations along the way where you can listen to Brian Blessed describing the area and reservoirs.
