NORTH WALES
North Wales is one of the most under-rated places to visit in the World and great for you as our visitors there are still many hidden gems and tranquil stops.
Snowdonia National Park in North Wales is one of the most stunningly beautiful areas in the British Isles. Gloriously maintained and away from the standard ‘tourist trail’, our local guides will share the beauty of the area. Expect to see sweeping valleys, winding roads and hidden villages as you follow ancient drover’s routes and potentially take a steam train up Mount Snowdon.
​
Steam railways have played a significant role in Welsh industrial history and for many visitors a high point of their tour is a ride on one of the 'Great Little Trains of Wales'.
The castles of North Wales are amongst the best preserved and impressive Medieval buildings in all of Europe and have to be seen! Conwy and Harlech are our favourites! North Wales is best seen over 2-4 days.
