As many of you will be far away from us, or even if you’re a local, you won’t be getting much opportunity to explore the local sights. So, we’ve decided to help out. We have put together a list of some fantastic virtual tours and experiences in the area. We hope this will give you a little bit more of that North Wales feeling.
These virtual tours might also give you some ideas of some things to look forward to when things improve in the global situation. Fingers crossed, the pandemic will be resolved as soon as possible and we can all go back to where we belong… in the Black Boy Inn with a pint of your favourite ale! But until that time comes, enjoy these videos and let your imagination run wild. We will see you soon!
