Ar ôl brecwast calonog, rydyn ni’n pacio ein pethau ac yn mynd allan eto. Ein cyrchfan gyntaf yw Tintangel, lle mae tŷ hen iawn wedi’i gadw.
No, my keyboard isn’t broken, dyslexia hasn’t taken over me and we didn’t buy a bag of letters, throw them in the air, and then write down what we saw. This is Welsh for the opening line:
“After a good breakfast, we pack up and set off again. Our first destination is Tintangel, where a very old house has been preserved,”
which was one of the first acquisitions of the NT, in 1903. It’s called “the Old Post Office” because it served as the village post office from 1870 onwards. Tintangel Castle, or rather, just outside it, also stands in, and has a long history related to the legends of King Arthur. This was first recorded in the 12th century, when Geoffrey of Monmouth described Tintagel as the place where Arthur was conceived in his mythological account of British history, Historia Regum Britanniae. But a walk there, including a guided tour, and back would take too much time, so we believe the legend and move on. On our way to Wales, we want to stop at least once more and see a place called Mortehoe, where rugged, rocky coastlines create a beautiful landscape. It turns out to be very busy due to the holidays and the weekend, and the last kilometer is also very narrow, so we view the beautiful, rugged, rocky coastline from a different location. We decide to drive through Exmoor National Park towards Wales, which offers us many stunning views. Looking for a charging station, we end up in Wellington, and well, Wellington Monument is very close. It was erected in memory of the Duke of Wellington and his victory at Waterloo. From there, we head towards Wales, and now we’re in a hotel between Cardiff and Newport.
The temperature today was around 22 degrees Celsius, and partly cloudy.
