Embark on an unforgettable road trip around the captivating coast of Wales, from Caernarfon's majestic castle to the picturesque village of Portmeirion. Discover historical landmarks like Criccieth Castle, enjoy family beaches, and ride on historic railways in Porthmadog. Immerse yourself in the allure of Portmeirion, the Italianate village with a fascinating TV show connection. Join me on this scenic adventure and unlock the wonders of Wales' coastal gems.

To get to our next unmissable stop on Anglesey, you’ll need to keep your eye on the tide times…

St Cwyfan’s church is also popularly known as the “Little Church in the Sea” and for good reason. St Cwyfans sits on a tidal island, so at high tide, it’s just out there, in the sea, only accessible by boat. But at low tide, you can walk to it over a rocky causeway, sit on a bench against the lime washed walls and soak in the sea views.

At one point, St Cwyfan’s was attached to the mainland, but over the centuries, the little church and the land it stood on got separated through erosion, to become the island it is today.

Road Trip Wales, this time… Welcome to Mars… Ok, it’s not actually Mars, but Parys mountain. Parys mountain used to be Europe’s largest copper mine, so the ore from the mines have created a Mars like reddish/orange landscape.

In an unremarkable building, on a nondescript pavement, sits a premises with links to not one, but at least three of history’s most defining periods and peoples. At 54 Hilliard St, Atlanta, sits The Madam CJ Walker Beauty Shoppe & Museum, incorporating WERD radio station.

Driving directly, Nashville to Atlanta is approximately four and a half hours. But who wants to drive four and a half hours with no stop offs en route? Luckily a little place called Lynchburg is along the route and anyone who’s been in a pub or walked along a liquor aisle in the supermarket will have seen the name Lynchburg many a time. It’s the home of Jack Daniel’s distillery, and the contents of every bottle, in every part of the world is still made in this little Tennessee town.

What’s in Louisville (pronounced Loo-uh-vil) you may ask? Riverside parks, humongous bridges, a cosmopolitan cityscape and museums to sate any taste.

I was particularly looking forward to visiting two museums. As a baseball fan, I had to visit the Louisville Slugger museum and factory. The very place they make the iconic bats used by professional and amateurs alike.

Once in a while, you have to do something to disrupt the humdrum. Remind yourself that life is for living.

That may be something as simple as finding an isolated waterfall and pool and go for a skinny dip, it might be daring to jump out of a perfectly good airplane, preferably with a parachute strapped to your back.

For me, I love driving. Driving to new places on different continents. It gets those creative juices flowing again that may have gone a little stale. The chance to see different scenery and meet new people is a very enticing prospect as a lone traveller. And obviously I’m incredibly fortunate and grateful to be able to record those scenes and encounters with my camera.
