The Ultimate Wales Road Trip | Welsh Coast 400 - YOU HAVE TO DO THIS! Route & Tips - Van Life UK

You drove right by us I think, the pub near Shugborough 🎉

Really enjoyed watching this morning with the family, wind and rain howling outside here in sunny Brighton 🙄 looking forward to watching the rest of your videos. Thanks for sharing this with us. 👍👍👍

A doggy pram for Gem would be great. We have one for our little lahsa apso

To help you out a bit with Welsh pronunciation, I will skip the LL sound as that’s a tough one but a U in Welsh is the same as i and is pronounced like the i in pit, so Llandudno is pronounced Llan-did-no.
The wy diphthong is pronounced oo-ee and when pronounced, pronounce it fast, the cheat pronunciation is wee so Conwy is pronounced Con-oo-ee and the cheat way is Con-wee
The W is pronounced like the oo in book so Mwnt is pronounced like Munt rhymes with well, you know, the C word, the ŵ with the circumflex above it is pronounced oo like in pool and the word pool derives from the Welsh word pŵll and it’s also the reason why Scousers say words like book and look and cook etc with an oo sound and why they say K with the Welsh Ch sound rather than the K sound because the Scouse accent is heavily influenced by Welsh as the Welsh were a big part of building Liverpool, the name Liverpool itself being of Welsh origin, but if you go to the parts of Liverpool which are the Scouse parts, many of the road names are Welsh or are named after the builders who built developed the area, they had so much work building there that they didn’t have enough men so they imported a load of Irish builders to help out which is why there ended up being a large Irish population in Liverpool.
There are a lot of misconceptions about the Scousers and their origins and people often equate the whole of Liverpool as being Scouse in the same way that some people equate all London as Cockney

That's my neck of the woods. It's a shame you didn't get some food from Cafe Môr at Freshwater West.

just found you by accident and watching one of your old videos ( I'll try to catch up on the channel so expect lots f comments) this was a great video and you have inspired me to revisit Wales. Top work and really good fun to watch. Good on you for doing like us too and rescuing a senior dog and giving it a forever home. Much respect- Kenny

Thank you so much for all this super info on your travels! 🤩.. just starting out here after converting my van .. and travelling as a solo female .. I appreciate this vid so much!
Would you mind me asking what cameras/drones you have used for your incredible footage of the views please? ☺️

Great beaches not mentioned...Whitesands Bay; Oxwich and on Anglesey forest meets sand at Llanddwyn. in Welsh a w sounds like u so Mwnt is like Munt in English

Perfect perfect perfect. Yes you posted a year ago and hope your still checking msgs. Just bought a Disability motor home. Very rare to find one totaly made and not an adapted motor home. Wheelchair bound and Many Many hotels and cheeper options arn NOT disabled friendly.... Yes wheelchair access but not catering for mine ans so many other folk with chanllanged conditons. So... Onto our Motor home. Its September now and we cant wait to pic it up. Yep price huge, but small price to pay to not have hasle of hours phoning hotels. All new to us so whatching your video ( this my first one ive clicked on) You mention Shell island. Oh how we miss the Tent Camping there. Many visits... brilliant. We have everything we want in our new home but no idea where to go. Im jotting down your route. We are in Hereford so can journey easily the same as you. Just different starting point. The thing i love most... We have Blue Mirle Sheep dog. ( Colie). Partialy sited but she doesnt know that LOL. I cant move onto the sand.. But to watch her bound around in areas dogs allowed is great. So seeing your video with places dogs allowed is prfect. Doing couple short runs out to get feel of our home. Also to learrn what we need and do. Usualy have Lucy in a cage in the car. Shes happy there. Theres 4 Ancker points in our home so we can safely put her there. No window for her to look out of though. Only front two seat belted chairs so cant put on a seat. How do you travel with yours. ..... Writting this at beggining of your video so may see answer further on. Im really hoping you have more journeys we can add to our list. Il subscribe now so hopefully they will pop up... Re rescue dog. We had puppy 'Colie' 6 weeks old who obviously was in this world before as we never had to train her. She just new everything. Then when she was 10 we got a rescue dog 'colie.' Badly treated. she was 2, 3 or 4. We called her doom and gloom..... in a nice way. rarely wagged her tail but was very happy and Jess Tought Sally everything. So no training there. Except Sally Never been in a house and got confused. Often sitting in doorways. Both lived until 17. Holidays were limited then. No idea how long Lucy life will be as Blue merles cause defects when crossed with another Blue merle (shes 7 now). so we are going to get out as often as we can. Retired early and ready to go. Soooo sorry for telling all my history. Just hope you can get a picture of first timers not having a clue except from camping. And now has to be wheelchair friendly places. Im active, self propelled (sports chair) so that helps. So if you can through in areas that maybe ok for some levels of abilties id be greatfull. Many thanks.

Thanks for this amazing film. Loved watching it. Yesterday we went up to Cadar Idris. Very hard walk, my legs are hurting like crazy today, but it was so worth it. Definitely the big highlight of Wales for us. Half way is a beautiful lake, where we went for a swim.
Today we’ll have an easy day in Barmouth. Love from the Netherlands

Just ordered the Wales and Scotland guides with the Scotland map, Wales one is out of stock. Been to NewQuay last month, via Rhayader and Elan valley, Llyn Brianne, theres an amazing pass there with the Devils Staircase,.
Llangrannog beach.... Ceunant waterfall, tiny place further south called Trefin, totally worth the drive. Way back via Furnace falls and Dolgoch falls.
Tenby last year, via Brecon Beacons, forest with waterfalls near Tallybont Res, Then Henrhyd Falls
...I live in Burton on Trent, lol

Thank you so much for your tips! I have followed some of your ideas 💡 and it was very helpful. ❤🙏

Round the wrekin?? Telford based? 🤔

@robbieroams what was the camp site call where u stayed at shell island. Great videos

This just 'occurred' on my radar. Brilliant road trip,but I'm a bit biased. So Mwnt is pronounced like..errr....punt in a Northern accent!
My children's father, grandfather, grandmother and so on a few generations were born and lived in Abereiddy as did I when first married. If you think the wall was high to dive from, check out Red Bull cliff diving in Abereiddy. They held the world champs there twice before most of the beach and carpark was washed away in huge storms. Thank you for doing Wales such a wonderful service, diolch. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Really enjoyed the video. My wife and I are retiring this year, so any ideas of where to visit in our campervan are great.
Many thanks

I loved this! You really got brilliant weather. I did the Welsh coast a few years ago... it was freezing and rained every day. Planning to repeat the trip in my new van next month... and hopefully it'll be sunny. Anyway, great video... and I LOVE the fact that you've taken on board an older dog. She's beautiful. Respect to you!

Great video. We’ve just got our very old camper back on the road and have been deciding where to go first. It will be our first time with our 1 year old pup so wondering if Scotland is a bit too ambitious for a first time.

Do you have any videos about your van setup and just keeping dogs in the van with you? Any tips etc.

Thanks 😊

Amazing information will really get on to this wales trip asap can I ask where you stayed

Next time your in Tenby drive down to south beach where you can drive down to the beach carpark and take the dogs straight onto the sand where there’s a long walk, no steps excellent for older dogs with a restaurant, ice cream 🍦 shop, coffee bar and toilets/restrooms

My husband’s family is Welsh. We are planing a visit in 2023

Light houses, go by the land its built on. Cause the cliff is so high, you dont need to build a tall light house. Or a cloudy day ships might not see. So it does need to be a certain height.

Awwww she’ll probably get her strength back once she’s been on the beach bless her 🐕‍🦺🦮🐾👫🏻

Liked subbed and commented, Old Owl 🦉 Alaya.

Cheers from Canada! Heading to the southwest coast of Wales in July for my Son's Graduation. Swansea Law School. Thank you for the great video and tons of idea for places to see!

Awesome video, I'm sandwiched in the middle of Gower and Pembrokeshire so I get best of both worlds in summer

Hi Robbie.. I am planning a couple of road trips this year. Wales is deffo on the bucket list my friend 👍. Ooh and you know how during long boring travel on motorways you can get proper giggly or just numb. Well your new travel vlog word has entered my and my Paulinas vocabulary.. Sort us out a parking space sweetheart?. Kk the TINTERWEBB says second left. Haha. Same thing on the motorway.. Shiit who plotted this route. That TINTERWEBB hates us fkker. Haha 😂 😁

Keep up the good work

Great viewing over a wet and windy Christmas, bought the book and looking forward to some dry weather 👍

Good video if you go to Newquee again there is a great fish and chip shop called the lime crab so good

Is there plenty of people around at Aber falls? Is it safe for a solo
Female traveler to walk?

Wonderful footage editing, creation, editorials. Keep being amazing man.

Fantastic video llgollen is a fab place in wales and trreador bay

Smashing! We went to Elan Valley last year, amazing dams and scenery. You can drive around some of them or cycle all.

High fab video thinking about doing this next week, what make and model is your drone please it is awesome ?

Just been on ynyslas beech for a walk & saw some van conversions & looking to see any of the you tubers I follow: seems we missed you by a couple of weeks 😊 Enjoy your travels

Great video, will you be doing a top 10 like you did for nc500

Oh nice, now I have to start saving for my next visit to the UK. Only just returned from the NC500. Your book was our daily guide. Thanks again.

First time I've seen your vlog. Well it didn't disappoint, stunning views beautiful beaches. Looks like wales is a must. I've been to a few places north and south Wales, personally I prefer the North. Thankyou for sharing. The brecon beacons are used by the military for exercise. Ones more thing, adorable dogs. ❤

Think some TV company needs to get you on the box.. made for this kind of stuff

Unbelievable watch, really enjoyed that. The video is really well shot and edited together, brilliant. Some of the artwork on that dobby grave was superb, love seeing stuff like that. I remember we visited the Green bridge about 3 years ago, absolute mission finding it. Took us hours if I remember correctly haha. Fish and chips Looked absolutely spot on as well. Snowdon / snowdonia really is a stunning location, as are all the beaches you visited though.

New subscriber, new like. Well deserved. 👍🏻🏔🌊🍟

Excited to watch this!

Just about to go and do South to North, thankyou for the locations
