Anytime is a good time to visit north Wales. Last winter was the hardest for many years, but there were some magical views in the valleys and the mountains. Autumn is full of wonderful colours. Spring though, has to be my favourite time; as fresh green leaves start to appear on the trees and flowers [...]
