  • Conwy Medieval Town and Castle Here we make our first stop for a short walking tour to see the massive 13thc castle a UNESCO World Heritage Site built by Edward I, which dominates the town. If feeling energetic walk on the medieval walls which go right round the town built to keep the English safe and the Welsh out! See the ‘Smallest House in Britain’, and take time to browse individual craft shops and explore narrow lanes.
  • Continue our tour with along the Conwy Valley.
  • Conwy Valley: follows the river Conwy through lush sheep grazing pastures and crossed by an old Roman road, with a 1000 year old Celtic church hidden down a narrow lane  and standing on the site of an old Roman Fort.
  • Betws y Coed: is the ideal place to make a short stop for refreshments, shopping or photos of the tumbling rocky rivers.
  • Snowdonia National Park is one of the highlights of our day, covering 823 square miles we see mountains and lakes and Mount Snowdon (weather permitting) which at 3560 ft is the highest mountain in England and Wales and lends its name to the largest National Park in Wales.
  • See the Slate Quarries as we descend the Llanberis Pass that sit as black scars on the mountainside evidence of North Wales Industrial History when ‘Wales once Roofed the World’.
