It's going to be a nice day, so we'll probably be there as well.

My Great Grand Father, Owen Owen and my Great Uncle Hugh are there at each end of the back row. I went up there two years ago but was too scared to go in as I was afraid of falling and never being found.  Mind you all the wild flowers growing there looked beautiful.  I was told that they cannot afford to keep it tidy and the old part of St Hilary's only gets done once a year too.  perhaps naughty people on community service could be used.

When I went round there, the main problem appeared to be the saplings shooting up everywhere. A couple of people with cordless pruners would soon sort them out.

So what time are you all planning to meet up? I would not be going round the castle but would be interested in the visit to the St Agnes graveyard.

I have to go to Bangor in the morning, not sure what time I'll be back.  If your still around in the afternoon,  I'll do my best to make an appearance.   8)

I am just going to make my way round to Conwy in my own good time.
Several reasons...  we have builders is who need keeping an eye on,   I might have to work depending on how busy Llandudno is on St David's day.
Also, Mrs F has work to do too ....   so we may bump into you at some stage.

we'll be going in the morning, Plas Mawr will be free too and it must be at least 15 years since we've been in there!

Went there (and paid admission) a couple of year ago...it was rubbish.

So was the episode of Most Haunted which was broadcast from there.

Dave and I went to the Aberconwy house across from the civic center last week. That's worth a look too.  I'm sure the fella said it was supposed to cost £6.80 each which is a bit steep, I think.

Yes they do.  You have to prove you live in Conwy, not sure where you apply though, sorry.
