Included Excursions
Betws-y-Coed & Conwy (full day)
We depart for the charming and delightful village of Betws-y-Coed, known as the ‘Gateway to Snowdonia’. Set in a beautiful valley in Snowdonia Forest Park, there is much to see including the old 14th-century church of St Michael’s, which is one of the oldest in Wales and the main street which has numerous shops and quaint places of interest. We then visit the medieval walled town of Conwy, home to the imposing Conwy Castle, considered to be among the finest surviving medieval fortifications in Britain. The town is also home to a quaint harbour with traditional pubs and snug cafés.
Llanberis & Caernarfon (full day)
After breakfast at our hotel, we venture to Llanberis, on the southern bank of Lake Llyn Padarn and at the foot of Snowdon, the highest mountain in Wales. Here we can see the ruins of Dolbadarn Castle and take in the spectacular beauty of the local landscape. We then make our way to Caernarfon, a royal town and port in Gwynedd, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This is your chance to behold one of the Middle Age’s greatest castles, the mighty Caernarfon Castle, built in the 13th century by Edward I as a royal palace and military fortress.
