Itinerary

Included Excursion

Snowdonia (Conwy & Betws-y-Coed) (full day)

We start the day with a visit to the picturesque village of Betws-y-Coed, known as the Gateway to Snowdonia National Park. The backdrop of coniferous forests has earned this area the name ‘Little Switzerland’. We continue to the medieval walled town of Conwy, home to the imposing Conwy Castle, classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and considered among Britain's finest surviving medieval fortifications. The town is also home to a quaint harbour, traditional pubs, snug cafés, the revolutionary Telford suspension bridge and Drew Pritchard Antiques (of TV’s Salvage Hunters fame)!

Optional Excursions

Llanberis & Caernarfon (£14pp) (full day)

We head to the village of Llanberis, which enjoys a lovely lakeside location at the foot of mighty Mount Snowdon. We continue on to Caernarfon, a charming town with a thriving harbour on the Menai Straits’ eastern shore. The town’s main landmark is the imposing castle ordered by Edward I in the 13^th century.

Anglesey (£14pp) (full day)

The Isle of Anglesey boasts spectacular landscapes, unspoilt coastlines (much of which has been declared an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty) and picturesque towns and villages. We visit the seaside town of Beaumaris, with its fascinating combination of Victorian, Edwardian and medieval architecture. We continue on to Bangor, the oldest city in Wales. Discover its beautiful cathedral or take in the stunning scenery on a walk along the Bangor Garth Pier.
