new BBC series filmed on Snowdonia fronted by Welsh nature expert Iolo Williams starts on Monday.

The renowned presenter, known for hosting TV programmes about nature and habitats, will reveal his favourite places to visit in Snowdonia for wildlife and spectacular scenery.


The show is likely to spark huge interest in the region - offering a fresh boost to North Wales' tourism. It comes a year after the area was named among the must see places to visit in 2017 by travel bible Lonely Planet.

Reflecting on how the landscape changes with the four seasons, Iolo’s Snowdonia - filmed over 12 months.

There were dozens of Wigeon in the field across the road to Llandrillo Technical College but they were too far away for me to get a decent photo of them
Angel Bay had a lot of Seals on the beach today and one lady told me that she had counted 38 of them.

Hugo where is the best place to park the car when visiting Angel Bay, as we haven't been there before?

I always park in the same place Meleri and it's at the shortest distance to Angel Bay.    At the bottom of the Penrhyn Bay hill take the road to Rhos on Sea Golf Course.
After a short distance take the first left after the Garage, then turn right and keep on that road.   It then goes along Penrhyn Beach East, at the far end there is a cul du sac and park there.
Just drive carefully when you get to that cul du sac as the traffic on the left has right of way

Once you have parked up go to the head of the cul du sac, you'll see the steps ahead so go up there and at the top turn right and follow the path all the way to Angel Bay.     Hope that you enjoy your visit to there.

First lot of spawn appeared in our pond last week on the 11th ... four "dollops" of it there now!  Not seen any frogs though!  (Llandudno Junction)
