John,
Indeed; Wales as a whole is beautiful - and has tremendous scope for
photography. Especially (IMO) the wild and rural, coastal areas - and small
historic towns, villages, individual buildings and castles.
Did you ever see that old sporting lodge used by Prince (Edward?) near the
Sportsmans Arms up on the moors (think it was near Denbigh)? The hill
location was called Gwylfa Hiraethog or something like that. Last time I saw
it in the 1990s it was a ruin - hardly a couple of walls standing. What a
shame. I recalled seeing it in the early 1970s when it was all standing and
the roof had just begun to collapse.
Wales - what a treasure. I am sorry I didn't take more advantage of the
times I spent there in this regard.
Regards,
Lee

North Wales is by far better!!!!! Do go there - it's often
forgotten.
British Rail no longer exists, unfortunately. A certain lady called
Mrs Thatcher saw to that and "privatised" this and many other of our
national institutions. Britain's rail system is now fragmented and is
still in a state of change. However you can get rail passes: go to
