5 Day Coach Holiday
Lively Llandudno is a Victorian seaside gem with a history that goes back to the Bronze Age. The resort promises all the fun of a traditional beach break with its sweep of sandy beach, pleasure pier packed with amusement arcades, and an esplanade where the longest running Punch & Judy shows in Britain are hosted. Head to Victoria Station for the must do Great Orme Tramway experience – the only remaining cable hauled tramway operating in Britain. This cherished part of Llandudno’s heritage takes over 200,000 visitors a year up to the summit of Great Orme, a limestone headland and nature reserve with stunning vistas. Alternatively, why not ascend the 679 feet in a cable car while capturing panoramic snapshots or hop aboard a vintage bus for the journey around Great Orme coastal road. Walk through tunnels that were mined out over 3500 years ago at the town’s Great Orme Mines, the world’s largest prehistoric copper mine, and one of the most astounding archaeological discoveries of recent times. Discover the sights and sounds of how life was for civilians during World War II at the Home Front Experience, browse exhibits revealing Llandudno’s history at the local museum or view contemporary art at Mostyn Gallery. Maybe you’d like to stroll around Happy Valley Gardens where points of interest include a druid stone circle, a bust of Queen Victoria and a camera obscura which dates back to 1860. If you’d rather just relax, chill out on the sand dunes at West Shore Beach.
PLEASE NOTE: Price is per person and based on two people sharing a twin/double room. Single room supplements and upgrades are not included.

Your Excursions
Anglesey & BeaumarisWe cross the Menai Bridge to Anglesey, an island with an unspoilt coastline, picture postcard towns and unusual ‘moonscape’ backdrops that are home to an amazing number of plants and wildlife. Here we pause at Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch – a village with the longest place name in Europe. Don’t miss the chance to snap a photo of the oversized railway signpost that displays the village name! We also call at the Woollen Mill here before moving on to the captivating seaside town of Beaumaris with its delightful mix of medieval, Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian architecture. Perhaps visit the imposing castle, built in the thirteenth century and now a World Heritage site. Treat yourself to a scenic boat trip, taking in the abundance of wildlife and the Menai bridges. Or visit the fascinating seventeenth century courthouse museum that gives an insight into the life of a prisoner in bygone days.
Porthmadog to Blaenau Ffestiniog Mountain Spirit Steam Train Trip
We head to pretty Porthmadog to board our steam train for a scenic trip to Blaenau Ffestiniog. The Mountain Spirit is hauled by locomotives designed over 150 years ago to pull large trains up steep gradients and around the sharp bends of the Ffestiniog line. Enjoy the nostalgia of a steam train trip while feasting your eyes on stunning scenery as your carriage winds its way across the estuary, along the Cob embankment before climbing up the valley passing meadows and villages then into ancient woodland, as it clings to the valley side. After our train journey we enjoy some free time in Blaenau Ffestiniog.
