We were so happy to make a day trip to Wales last weekend. The geneology information we have from my grandfather's family says they are not completely sure, but they believe that the family was from Llangollen, North Wales. It also states that the Griffith name is most likley a contraction from the words "great" and "faith."
Llangollen is a lovely town nestled on the Dee river. There are lots of quaint little craft and antique shops, sweet shops, bakeries, and dear little places to grab a meal. It was a beautiful sunny day and we enjoyed strolling around the town. We walked the river and then stopped at the Cottage Tea rooms for a nice lunch. Drew had the traditional local eggs and ham and I had a very rich and meaty beef stew. Then we split a corned beef pasty from the bakery and a strawberries and cream ice cream cone. You can see the castle at the top of the hill from the town and the countryside around the village is gorgeous.
We were very happy to be able to make the trip to Wales to see a new part of the UK and visit the original home of the Griffiths!
