DAY ONE – Conwy and Arrival
We depart from your home with our exclusive home pick-up service and travel to Conwy for some time in this beautiful town, before we make our way the short journey to Llandudno, arriving at your hotel to a warm welcome, tea and biscuits and with plenty of time to relax and enjoy the town before dinner this evening, accompanied by Hero the Harpist.
DAY TWO – Betws-y-Coed and Porthmadog
This morning, we head to the gateway of Snowdonia Betws-y-Coed. This magical setting has a distinctly Alpine feel, enhanced by the dense Gwydyr Forest surrounding the village. Take a stroll on one of the many trails around the village, and take in the fresh air, or enjoy the array of independent shops, cafés and galleries displaying talented Welsh artist’s work.
Later we visit Porthmadog, the harbour town situated on the Glaslyn Estuary, Porthmadog is rich in maritime history and has several craft shops and restaurants. In times gone by Porthmadog was a vital, and busy, shipping port for the international slate trade, brought down from Blaenau Ffestiniog. From here we return to our hotel with time to relax before dinner this evening followed by Bingo and a quiz.
DAY THREE – Llangollen Railway
After breakfast we have a wonderful rail experience as we head over to the Llangollen Railway. It is the Heritage Railway Line starting at Llangollen Station, located beside the Dee River Bridge, in Llangollen Town, then the journey continues for 10 miles upstream, following the River Dee to the town of Corwen. The Dee is classed as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) for its entire length.
The line, located within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), remains close to the waters of the river for most of its length, on the north bank at Llangollen Station, the river is crossed on to the south bank via the Dee Bridge, approximately one mile upstream from Llangollen.
We have included a packed lunch today, and after dinner this evening there is live entertainment and a disco, dress to impress, and bring your dancing shoes.
DAY FOUR – Llanberis Lake Railway and Caernarfon
This morning we start our journey to Llanberis Lake Railway with its little steam engines that take you a five-mile return journey alongside Lake Padarn, right in the heart of Snowdonia.
The journey takes you past the 13th century Dolbadarn Castle, across possibly Britain's shortest river and past Llanberis' twin lakes. From Llanberis the train runs non-stop through the Padarn Country Park, joining the 1845 slate railway route to run along the shores of Lake Padarn to Penllyn, and giving stunning views of Snowdon, the highest peak in England and Wales.
We continue to Caernarfon, home to Wales’s most famous castle and an UNESCO World Heritage Site. Mighty Caernarfon Castle commands the lion’s share of attention, but the town’s narrow streets and stylishly redeveloped waterfront also merit a visit. The castle, built in the 13th century by Edward I as a royal palace and military fortress, was at the core of a medieval walled town.
After dinner this evening there is an entertaining magic show.
