We were not going back to see Gwenda, so we decided to have a look at Caernarfon Castle, which is another thing we’d missed last time. What a place!
It’s huge, and goes on and on, with turrets, and walkways and tunnels, and spooky rooms, and windows and those things you would have shot arrows from, and dungeon-looking passageways. Just amazing, and well worth the time, even tho it was drizzling.
After the castle we headed off for Welshpool via Porthmadog, and the road was good if not a little winding in parts, with more wonderful mountain scenery, and stopped for lunch at Dolgellau at a little cafe, which was so busy we shared a table with a couple who were bike-riding through the area.
Our overnight stay was the Lion Hotel in Berriew, (pronounced berry-you), which is not far from Powys Castle, which we had wanted to see. Berriew is a lovely little village of tudor-style houses, and a grand church, with a sparkling river running through the village. Very nice dinner that night in the hotel’s restaurant, but this would be one of those expensive stays! 
I like this castle! It's very medieval.
