We are flying into Dublin on the 9th for five nights. Have a ferry booking to Holyhead on the 15th and picking up our rental car. From there we have five nights before we have to be in Abergavenny for the beginning of our week long canal boat rental from beaconparkboats.com. After that we have eleven nights before we drive back to Holyhead, drop off our car, take the ferry back to Dublin for one night at an airport hotel before flying out on July 9th.
My dilemma is where to go for those uncommitted days.
The first 5 nights (June 15-19), I'm thinking somewhere down along the west coast. Maybe between Aberystwyth and Fishguard so Dan can get his beach fix.
The middle 11 days I want to divide in half.
Perhaps the first 5 nights (June 27-July 1) somewhere in the center so I can check out some of my family's ancestral villages between Builth Wells and Newtown. The last 6 nights (July 2-7) in the north with a location that allows us to visit more ancestral villages in areas west of the A470.
So after that long-winded introduction, my question is...does anyone have suggestions for home bases in those areas mentioned? We like to drive and take short walks. Are not big hikers.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
