Day 16 Conwy to Home

Our last day started with Conwy parkrun.  I won a box of chocolates at their weekly trivia quiz where we had to guess the length of the Conwy River in kms.  I was spot on with 55kms.  Really loved this scenic parkrun and got a good time of exactly 29 mins.   Conwy parkrun   Conwy parkrun   Conwy castle from parkrun start   We went back for breakfast and left for home.  Our lunch stop was at Attringham National Trust property near Shrewsbury.  It was very hot so we just walked around the grounds and had our lunch before continuing home.   Attringham Grounds   Attringham Hall   Attringham Walled Garden   Attringham Grounds - River Tern   Attringham NT
