Llandudno And Snowdon Mountain Railway

Itinerary

Day 1

Join your coach this morning and head for scenic North Wales and the Queen of Welsh Resorts in Llandudno, set on a sweeping bay with the towering Great Orme overlooking the dramatic scenery. On arrival take time to settle in to your hotel and perhaps take a stroll along the promenade for a breath of sea air, or a browse around the shops of the town centre which are both right on your central hotel's doorstep. Take time for a drink in the bar before your first evening meal and some great entertainment, with time to meet your fellow travellers.

Days 2 & 3

Enjoy a delicious Welsh breakfast each morning and be prepared for your beautiful adventure each day. Relax at your comfortable hotel and enjoy all of the delights that Llandudno has to offer. Retaining much of its Victorian charm, there are lovely beaches, plenty of shops and restaurants to explore and a long pier to stroll down. Take in superb sunset views over the sea from here, after a scenic stroll along the connecting promenade. This walkway is lined with pastel-hued Victorian mansions and runs along North Shore Beach, where you’ll find stretches of sand as well as pebble.

Join us on some or all of your fantastic INCLUDED excursions. No matter what you get up to during the day, you can always look forward to a warm welcome from your hotel when you return.

Snowdon Mountain Railway, Llanberis & Betws-y-Coed

INCLUDED Visitor DestinationThe lovely village of Llanberis is set in the beautiful Snowdonia National Park, in a lakeside setting at the foot of Mount Snowdon itself, at 3,560ft the highest mountain in England and Wales. There are craft shops and watersports too, though many people come for the walking. As well as the mountain paths, follow the self-guided Llanberis Heritage Trails taking you to fascinating places around the village.

Your experience on the Snowdon Mountain Railway is a journey to “the rooftop of Wales” on the only public track and pinion mountain railway in Britain. From the first views of the waterfall plunging into the gorge below at the start of the journey, to the breath-taking sights over the sheer edge of Rocky Valley, every moment is memorable. At the summit the Visitor Centre has a gift shop and cafe to relax in, and on a clear day you can take in views as far away as Ireland.

While in Snowdonia, enjoy a visit to the bustling mountain village of Betws-y-Coed. This all-season resort, nestled at the heart of the Conwy Valley where 4 rivers converge, is a hive of activity. Surrounded by some of Wales’ most spectacular countryside, Betws-y-Coed attracts visitors from all over the world, year in, year out. Its beautiful woodland setting at the foot of the mountains has appealed to travellers for centuries. There is also great shopping to enjoy in the village too, with unique craft shops and cafés.

Conwy, Isle of Anglesey & Beaumaris

INCLUDED Visitor DestinationThe waterside market town of Conwy is a true one-off. Well-preserved ancient walls, the most intact in Europe, enclose a town of narrow cobbled streets, nooks and crannies chock-full of historic buildings. Conwy Castle, a World Heritage Site, was a key part of the ‘iron ring’ of fortresses built around Snowdonia in the 13th century, and still dominates the picturesque setting. The quaint high street has plenty to explore, including the fascinating 16th Century Plas Mawr said to be the best example of an intact Elizabethan house where history has stood still, or make your way down to the quay to see the smallest house in Britain, just 10 feet by 6 feet and last lived in by a 6 foot 3 inch tall gentleman!

The Menai Strait, or Afon Menai as it is known locally, is the sea channel that separates the beautiful Isle of Anglesey from mainland Gwynedd. It is connected to the mainland by Thomas Telford’s Menai Suspension Bridge and Robert Stephenson’s Britannia Bridge. The Strait also has many small, offshore islands, lovely views of the Snowdonia and Carneddau mountain ranges, Conwy Bay and the towns of Bangor through to Caernarfon. Anglesey is renowned for its beauty, and the town of Beaumaris really is its jewel in the crown, with a stunning seaside setting and dramatic 13th century castle overlooking the beautiful Menai Strait. The seafront offers a traditional stroll and ice cream or fish & chips, whilst the lovely Castle Street has a wonderful selection of independent shops and boutiques offering excellent local produce, gifts and cute cafes.
