5 Day Select Holiday
Llandudno is a coastal gem with a history that goes back to the Bronze Age. Nestled between the Great Orme and Little Orme, the resort offers time-honoured seaside charm, alongside Victorian architecture, and a spectacular natural backdrop. It promises all the fun of a traditional beach break with its sandy beach, pleasure pier packed with amusement arcades, and an esplanade where Britain’s longest running Punch & Judy shows 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 nature reserve of Great Orme, a limestone headland 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 Botanical 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 & Beaumaris
We 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.
Snowdonia & Portmeirion
We enjoy a scenic drive through Snowdonia, the largest National Park in Wales, with nine mountain ranges, coastline, and woodland. It is home to historic sites, medieval castles, and quaint villages where the Welsh language is part of everyday life. We then experience the magic of the Mediterranean style village of Portmeirion, built in the style of an Italian village and familiar to many as the setting for the classic TV series, The Prisoner. This stunning coastal resort is a jumble of pastel-painted buildings and subtropical gardens enjoying a dramatic cliff top setting. It features a central square, gothic pavilion and ornate town hall. Little wonder the ‘Rough Guide To Wales’ described it as ‘a gorgeous visual poem’. It was created by Welsh architect, Sir Clough Williams-Ellis, who wanted to demonstrate how a naturally beautiful site could be developed without being spoiled. There is a selection of cafes and gift boutiques, including The Prisoner Shop with its souvenirs from the TV series.
