Description de notre maison d'échange
We live in a very beautiful part of North Wales, designated as an area of 'outstanding natural beauty'
Holywell is a historic village called "The Lourdes" of Wales because of the supposed healing powers of the "holy well" of Saint Winifriede and is still visited by many pilgrims. The town centre of Holywell is only 200metres away from our house and yet the house is private and set in over a hectare of grounds The town has 2 supermarkets many shops and a weekly market The towns sports centre (200m) has an olympic size pool hot tubs jacuzzi fitness gym swing park snooker, pool tables, tennis courts, bowling greens etc Local restaurants include Chinese Indian and several pubs all within walking distance. From virtually all points in Holywell we have spectaculsr views of the Irish sea and the estuary of the River Dee.
We are close to the world renowned Snowdonia national park and its mountains. The drive to Snowdonia passes through the wild Denbigh moors and Lake Brennig with boats to hire and lake fishing for trout
At 30 km west we have the preserved Victorian town of Llandudno with its many typically English seaside tourist attractions a beautiful promenade and fully restored pier, chair lift to the summit of the great Orme Monorail and dry ski slopes.
The historic Roman city of Chester is 20 minutes drive away, a walk around the circular Roman walls will show all facets of the cities history From the walls you can see the famous racecourse the "Roodee", the famous clock, tudor oak framed shops and the Cathedral. From the river front you can hire rowing or power boats, take a ferry and head upstream towards Lord Grosvenors Estate (richest man in the UK) or simply take a riverside coffee or pub meal. Within the cities walls a fully preseved Roman ampitheatre which can be seen next to the beatiful cty parks Chester has many restaurants and shops and is the second most visited city after London.
