Itinerary

1. Wales Tour

   • After our introduction, we will hop onto our minibus and drive around Great Orme's one-way road with its spectacular mountain drop-off into the sea, showcasing nature at its finest. Wild goats, birds, famous Kashmir wild goats and often we see seals and dolphins. Also, limestone cliffs and caves and beautiful views towards Snowdonia
   • Stroll the ancient and medieval castle town of Conwy to view the castle's domineering and towering walls, whose magnificent towers stand tall over the beautiful estuary. Also, visit the famous and world's first ever built suspension bridge in 1819. (main castle entry additional)
   • Marvel at this little gem set upon the bank of the estuary and built into the castle walls is Great Britain's most miniature house. With arms outstretched, you can touch either side. (small fee to enter internal of the house)
   • Take a walk around this world heritage site. After all these years, Caernarfon's immense strength remains undimmed - a brute of a fortress. History comes alive at Caernarfon in so many ways – along the lofty wall walks, beneath the twin-towered gatehouse, the walk town's narrow and colourful streets and the stylishly redeveloped waterfront of the Menai.
   • Enjoy a tour of Portmeirion, wandering around the colourful renowned Italian-style coastal tourist village set in stunning surroundings and gardens. There are shops, cafés, tea rooms and restaurants. This is best described as an artful and playful village with a fantastic collection of architectural relics and is also known as a romantic, picturesque, relaxing and often enchanting village. A "happy relief" from the "rigid irrationalities and the calculated follies" of the modern world.
   • On the return trip, you'll drive through part of the Snowdonia National Park, where we will see some of its dramatic mountains and many beautiful lakes. We will drive through traditional quaint welsh mountain villages, see canyon gorges and rivers, and learn about the local welsh history.
   • We stop at the famous Snowdonia viewpoint to take some photos and stand in awe of the panoramic 360 views of the horseshoe and surroundings of the beautiful Nant Gwynant pass and lakes within the valley.
   • Visit the Ugly House. Is it ugly, or is it beautiful? You decide! We stop to learn the unique story behind this only type of feature set next to the river setting.
   • Discover the dramatic and beautifully captivating Swallow Falls. This cascading waterfall is where the water from the mountains comes bellowing down and where force meets beauty in this idyllic setting which can be viewed on three levels. (small entrance fee)
   • We stop at the majestic location of Tu-Hwnt-I'rr Bont, the second most photographed and painted image in Snowdonia! Set next to the river with the iconic bridge. This location at various times throughout the year is quite simply stunning.
