Had lunch at Tu Hwnt l'r Bont Tearooms, Llanrwst -the "little house by the bridge" built in 1480 as a residence then the bridge was built in the 1636 by Inigo Jones. The Ivy house was then used as a courthouse and now it is a tearoom.
We had Welsh rarebit which is just cheese and ham on toast and scones and jam and cream (not clotted cream). Mum makes better scones!
Then we went to Betws-y-coed. Pronounced Betsy-co-ed. Which means chapel in the wood. Which is in the Snowdonia National Park.
Back to Liverpool to see Port Sunlight an upmarket suburb that the Lever brothers built as houses for the workers in the Sunlight Soap factory in 1888. They also built art galleries and swimming pools for the workers to improve their lives.
