Last weekend was our first proper weekend home after returning from our holidays (the first actual weekend we were all poorly so that doesn’t count!). We wanted to go on an adventure – I still had the holidays blues and I so desperately wanted to get myself out of this grey cloud I was stuck under!
So my husband suggested we go to a Plas Newydd National Trust in Anglesey. We visited there when Harri was first born. It is such a lovely place. Although the weather was a bit rubbish (a lot more grey clouds!) I thought why not.
Visiting Plas Newydd House
Plas Newydd House is stunning with beautiful gardens for the girls to run around in. There is a couple of play parks at Play Newydd which are really good one and the kids played for hours. Activities that you could take part in where dotted about which was lots of fun. My girls loved trying to build the highest limpet. There was also the most impressive tree house which my girls loved! Of course like all National Trust venues there was lots of open space for my girls to run crazy safely which is one of the reasons we like to visit these venues so often.
The views at Plas Newydd House are amazing. It is situated on the Menai Strait and we all spent ages watching the boats and water sports on the river.
It was a lovely day followed by a trip to our favourite of ours Llandudno for tea. Followed by a little play on the beach before the sun went down. Although I still missed the sunshine of Spain I started to appreciate our beautiful country again.
Here are some of my favourite pictures from the day:
What a lovely day you had. I understand what you mean about starting to love the UK again after getting back from a holiday. It always takes me a few weeks but eventually I remember how beautiful it can be.

What a beautiful place to explore and I love how you have captured your beautiful girls excitement particularly at the tree house. Thank you for linking up to #PointShoot 📸
It looks a lovely day out and a great way to recover from the holiday blues! Our country has so much to offer, if only we had the Mediterranean summer weather too! I have such fond memories of Anglesey and Llandudno on holiday as a child. It looks like it is as beautiful as ever there.
Thank you for sharing with me on #CountryKids
We discovered Plad Newydd this Easter and have been back over the summer. My 4 year old loves the tree house! #countrykids
I love your photos, it looks like a lovely place to visit.

Oh gosh, post-holiday blues are the worst aren’t they? We visited friends for two days and I felt so low when we returned home. The places you visited look lovely – good old National Trust 🙂
Gorgeous photos! I have to ask – what is required to build the highest limpet? I’m imagining lots of things – I need some help!!
Thanks for joining me on #daysoutwithatoddler. It looks like you had a fab day out!
See you next month 🙂
I’ll have to make a note of that as I’m desperate to show my son around North Wales, looks fab #CountryKids
My parents used to take us to North Wales when we were growing up and I always remember trips to the beach. This place looks amazing – the tree house is probably the best i have ever seen! #daysoutwithatoddler
Looks and sounds brilliant -/ definitely somewhere for us to keep in mind!
There are certainly some lovely places in our dear country. #daysoutwithatoddler
