Spring in Snowdonia

Day 1

We depart the local area and with a lunch stop on route arrive at the 3* Celtic Royal Hotel, Caernarfon in time for dinner.

Day 2

After a leisurely breakfast we make our way along the picturesque North Wales coastline to Conwy. Famous for the most intact ancient city walls in Europe, it's imposing medieval Castle and the smallest house in Britain. Wander the narrow, cobbled streets, nooks and crannies chock-full of historic buildings, shops and cafes. We then make our way to Llandudno, you can catch the tram or cable car to the top of Great Orme, take in the sea air with a stroll along the promenade or enjoy some retail therapy on the high street.

Day 3

This morning, we travel over the Menai Strait to the Isle of Anglesey, where we visit Beaumaris with its medieval castle, lovely beach, and Victorian pier. We return to the hotel with a photo stop at Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch. This afternoon we have time to explore Caernarfon, perhaps visit the mighty castle or browse for gifts in the town's stores.

Day 4

Today we enjoy a scenic journey through Snowdonia National Park. We pass Llanberis Lake and make our way over the Pen-Y-Pass to Betws-Y-Coed, where we have time to explore. Known as the gateway to Snowdonia, this village is home to a variety of boutique stores and cafes. From here we journey over the Crimea Pass heading through Blaenau Ffestiniog before arriving at Porthmadog, where we have time to explore before returning to Caernarfon.

Day 5

After breakfast we return home with a lunch stop on route, arriving back late afternoon.
