can you do a exploration video on the two towns that help to inspire PontyPandy in the Fireman Sam Tv series?

[@EvaNemetKonc]

There's a bittersweet story and a touching Wordsworth poem behind that grave in the churchyard. "We are seven" 6:52 ❤

Wow😮

[@marshabrubaker185]

Another trip through cozy Conwy. Still as beautiful as the first time😊

[@dianneraphael8248]

Always fabulous!!

[@brandieo6165]

What a splendid video! This town is definitely going on my Wales trip. Thank you for helping me plan my dream vacations to the UK. I love y'all & take care🙂❤

[@MemorySeekers]

Our pleasure! Hope you make it there.

[@judyhunt123]

An amazing video! My parents, who sadly are both gone now, visited Wales 40 or so years ago. I remember them talking about Conwy and Llandudno. It was so nice to see the things they would have seen. I have a small percentage of Welsh heritage so it's also nice to see where some of my ancestors came from.

[@MemorySeekers]

Glad we were able to show you areas very personal to you. 😊

[@RedStickHistorian]

Another wonderful job showing us the fun and beauty of Wales. You seemed to do well pronouncing the Welsh place names, I didn't even dare to even try saying those names when I visited way back in 1973. I'm looking forward to the rest of your series, thank you.

[@MemorySeekers]

Well we have given it a go with the pronouncing haha, my mother is half Welsh so that has helped a bit! 😊

[@LindaRoberson-y6g]

We're really enjoying watching this trip to Wales as we do have some Welsh heritage. We're from NZ!

[@trelizaberkeley9973]

Thank you for sharing your vlog, Simon & Will.

Hello ❤👍🥰⚘💐

[@theoztreecrasher2647]

Always enjoyed travelling in Wales. Went the first time that I holidayed in Britain at the behest of my old expat Welsh mate but returned on pretty well all subsequent trips by personal choice. Countryside, castles and old toy railways bring back great memories.

[@colinthomas5462]

Thanks for your video of Conwy, loved it and found the history so interesting. Have subscribed and look forward seeing the rest in the series. Many thanks again.

We visited Conwys about 20 years ago: we stayed at the Crown Hotel, which has wonderful woodwork and murals within. Your video indeed brought back the memories we sought!

[@MemorySeekers]

Glad we stirred the memories 👍😊

[@shaunmckenna1923]

Thank you Simon / Will great video the last time I was at Conway it was pouring rain so it was hard to enjoy it as much as I did watching your video , North Wales is a wonderful part of the world to visit.

[@MemorySeekers]

Oh we had plenty of rain that week as you will see in later videos. Just had to knuckle down and get on with it. Have to be lucky to get a full dry time in Wales ☺️

[@TessMurphy-q4z]

Excellent show today! I love the pace and the energy. Makes me want to return to Wales and see more.

I walked the marine drive road when I visited last year. So beautiful!! Nearly got caught in a storm though and that stinging nettle is no joke! We don’t have it in Australia!

Well perhaps not exactly that type. But you'd better steer WELL clear of the types that we do have! 😉😱😭

[@BrancyCDA]

Thrilled to see another series in Wales! It is so beautiful and picturesque on top of charming as all get out! No one covers an area as well as you do, with such well shot videos, very interesting historical stories as well as lovely music. The shots of details in the building locations as well as the shops enticing wares, gives one such a satisfying feeling of "being there". Thanks for sharing your travels, I always look forward to viewing each and every one of them! Cheers!

Ver todos sus videos simplemente es magico! son hermosos, maravillosos. Que paisajes y poblados mas encantadores!. Sin duda cada vez que los veo viajo con ustedes, disfruto de esos pequeños detalles que nos muestran y cuentan de la historia de estos lugares, de cada paraje, de cada pub, restaurantes, tabernas y dulcerias. Aprecio tanto ver estos videos despues de un dia estresante o cuando me siento agobiada por mi entorno, los veo a ustedes y me transporto a lugares mejores llenos de encanto y paz. Muchas gracias por traer a KZbin tan lindas experiencias. Saludos, y que la buena suerte siempre los acompañe en cada viaje que realicen. 🤗😊

Thank you very much for the numerous, beautiful videos. You give us so much inspirations for our future motorhome tours, we have to get very old, to visit all the beautiful destinations.😅 Greetings and best wishes from N.Germany. Tommy

[@MemorySeekers]

Have fun on your travels, see as much as you can. What a great way to do it. We’ve never tried it but would like to if we ever get to New Zealand.

[@Nordic_Camper]

@@MemorySeekers New Zealand ??

[@MemorySeekers]

Yes apparently travelling around in a motorhome is the best way to see the country. So that would when we would try it.

[@Nordic_Camper]

@@MemorySeekers Well, I can recommend Schleswig-Holstein, the northernmost state in Germany. The land between the seas. We offer you wonderful beaches, charming little villages, an enchanting landscape, spectacular islands, Hamburg in the south and our friendly neighbors, the Danes, in the north.

@Nordic_Camper thank you for the tips, I am going to check them out and mark them on the map!

Hi Gents, that was a pretty good insight into Conwy and Llandudno given you only had a days filming, but it'll certainly inspire people to visit and explore more, the wife and I have been visiting North Wales for over 40 years as a couple and we're still discovering new places. We're looking forward to the rest of your adventures.

[@MemorySeekers]

Thank you for the lovely comment and for watching. I hope we can share something new for you in the rest of the series. I am sure you have many recommendations for our future visits to the area as we’ll be back for more at some point. 😊

Conwy definitely one of the best preserved wall-town in Wales and the UK as a whole. Went through the entire wall, a great walk though, another castle town- Caernarfon is nearby a gateway to Snowdonia though, also the Llanfair­pwllgwyngyll­gogery­chwyrn­drobwll­llan­tysilio­gogo­goch, the longest place name in the country not far from it

Lovely video. It was interesting to hear about Conwy being an area that produced pearls (from oysters). That was new to me. However after that it got a bit confusing as you then jumped to referring to todays fishing industry producing mussels.

Terrific job, Simon and Will! So much information and history, plus wonderful views. I love the colorful Welsh flags. I'd definitely want to brush up on the language a bit before traveling there, so I'd have some chance of pronouncing the place names well enough to be understood.

Another excellent video but The Guinness Book of Records was first published in 1955, so it couldn't have recognised the smallest house in 1920.

[@MemorySeekers]

Ah good to know I just assumed that’s when they did it. I guess it must have just been accepted as the smallest house in 1920 and then they added it to the book in 1955. Good catch!

[@TheDevilsAdvocate.]

If you go later in the evening you don’t have to pay the toll. 🤫 Also a very nice road to drive a little bit sporty. Though I’m local and have done it thousands of times I’m sure, so please be careful if you’re a tourist. It’s a long drop into the sea if you’re silly with it.

[@nickdavies8197]

The modern Conway Bridge was actually built in 1958 not 1948 and the embankment by the River Conway is credited to Thomas Telford. I do wish you would put the measurements in feet first. The metric ruins a good narration. Nearby on the river they did the Mulberry Harbour in preparation of the D Day landings during WWII. It was on the River Conway down river opposite Deganwy. There's nothing to see there but there is an information board. It was in the first deries of Coast with Nick Crane.

[@MemorySeekers]

You are right don’t know how I managed to get that wrong. 😑 thanks for the other points very interesting.
