Day 1 - Welcome to Wales!
Manchester - Conwy (Wales) - Anglesey - Beaumaris - Lllanfairpwllgwyngyll - Lllandudno. We set off from Manchester and head straight for the Welsh border, starting our day in the charming town of Conwy. Known for its picture-perfect harbour, Conwy features a seaside castle, the ‘world’s smallest house,’ and delightful eateries serving the best fish and chips. We enjoy an included visit to Conwy Castle.
Next, we cross the Menai Straits via the world’s first modern suspension bridge, heading onto Anglesey Island. We visit the western tip of North Wales to admire the South Stack Lighthouse, dramatic sea cliffs, and a nature reserve. Our journey continues with stops in the lovely seaside town of Beaumaris and the photo-worthy Llanfairpwllgwyngyll. We then return over the bridge to the coast and arrive in Llandudno for our overnight stay.

Llandudno - Betws-y-Coed - Portmeirion - Llandudno. This morning, we start our adventure with a visit to Betws-y-Coed, a picturesque village renowned as the gateway to Snowdonia National Park. As we continue our journey, we enjoy the breath-taking views of Snowdonia’s mountains before arriving at Harlech Castle, one of our top UK favourites. With its dramatic sea views and a history marked by intense sieges and dynamite, it’s truly a sight to behold.
