I knew where they were because at one point in the mid 70s when I was a kid my dad considered accepting a teaching job there - he took me along to the Commonwealth Institute in London when he went to do some research on the islands.

I especially like Betws-y-Coed. And...erm..... errrrr...... that's all I can think of for now, but I'm sure more will come to me
