The new one pound coin

============
Britons are being urged to fish out any old £1 coins from piggy banks and car gloveboxes as the deadline for using the old pound coins fast approaches.

In less than one week the old £1 coins will cease to be legal tender and businesses are no longer obliged to accept them.

But with more than £420m worth of old coins rattling around in coin jars, piggy banks and cars, according to Go Compare Money, consumers are being encouraged to find them and either use, exchange, or bank them before the October 15 deadline, after which only the new 12-sided £1 coins can be spent.

The North Wales Pilgrim’s Way



The North Wales Pilgrim’s Way is a 240km path linking St Winefride’s Well at Holywell to Bardsey Island and makes full use of existing footpaths and some of the Wales Costal Path.

Following in the footsteps of centuries of pilgrimages to Bardsey, the path is an opportunity for modern day pilgrims to follow the path whilst visiting many interesting historical sites along the way and to marvel at the area’s natural environment.

The North Wales Pilgrim’s Way is a part of the Our Heritage project, a part of Cadw’s Heritage Tourism Project partially funded by the European Regional Development Fund through the Welsh Government.


The North Wales Pilgrim’s Way attracts many visitors to this amazing area, as does the Camino de Santiago in Spain, as the North Wales Pilgrim’s Way is a great opportunity to see some of North Wales’ most beautiful countryside and historical sites.

It’s wonderful to see how the interest has been re-ignited in the centuries old tradition of pilgrimage from Holywell to Bardsey, and we set off from Holywell in high spirits.
My leg seems completely healed and the Greenfield Valley trail, like the day, stretches ahead.
