I doubt that you will ever meet someone who has left New Zealand without falling in love with the country’s majestic, captivating landscapes. Even though I last visited the country nearly seven years ago, I never hesitate to exclaim that is the country I dream about returning to on a daily basis.
As part of our ‘turning 30’ lists, we had decided to spend more time exploring Britain. Therefore, we booked a short 3-night break to North Wales. We stayed in Holyhead, Angelsey – which gifted us with a beautiful view of Snowdonia National Park. From there, it was a 40 minute drive to Snowdon. Photos from @foreacharoad.

Holyhead – South Stack

Holyhead – Trearddur
Of course, nothing will ever live up to our beloved NZ, but the beauty of Snowdonia and North Wales, is a taste of Aotearoa, 90 minutes from Manchester.
We are on the hunt for other destinations around the United Kingdom that help to heal the withdrawal symptoms of other faraway beauties…

Wow! that is a beauty alright 🙂 How I wish I could have a piece of NZ here in the desert too haha! The allure of ME is far different in nature and I am starting to like it too.

It truly is a stunning country, that’s why I was so pleased to find a reminder a little closer to home. Have you ever been to NZ?

I see!!! I’d go back there in a heart-beat. I met my husband in Christchurch, so it’s a very special place for us both x
