Emlyn and I are both in our 60s. Emlyn is a retired newspaper editor but works p/t as a support worker for adults with learning difficulties and I am a p/t office admin assistant. We are an active couple who love hiking and exploring the UK; we have grandchildren that keeps us young at heart. We have had experience with home exchange many years ago and have only just got back into it this year after upgrading our house over the years. For this year we would like to exchange in the UK only, maybe further afield next year.

Attractions
Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home
North Wales is very scenic and full of interesting and historic places to visit such as Conwy Castle. Abergele has its own historical Gwrych Castle which is only a 20 minute walk from our home.
Also there is an abundance of walking areas in North Wales such as the Snowdonia National Park, Offa's Dyke and the coast of Anglesey. We have a wide range of walking books and OS maps for the whole of North Wales.
Recently North Wales has become a mecca for thrill seekers with a series of new attractions for the younger at heart - Zip-World Betheda, Zip World Titan Blaenau Ffestiniog, Bounce Below, Surf Snowdonia and Treetop Adventures high ropes are all within a hour's drive from our home.
More traditional attractions close by include Penrhyn Castle, Welsh Highland Railway and the historic town of Caernarfon with it's magnificent castle to name a few!
LLandudno is definitely worth a visit, it has an immaculate seafront gracefully framed by two headlands. Llandudno has the longest pier in Wales, a blue flag beach, an excellent theatre, cable car and tram up to The Great Orme, great golf courses, amazing restaurants and lots of outdoor activities.
