Highlights of North Wales, 15th – 19th September 2025
We have teamed with Glentons to put together this special itinerary for our members.
We’ll be based in the beautiful Welsh seaside resort of Llandudno in north Wales, well known for its Victorian architecture, its long recreational pier, and scenic location. Our hotel is well located in the centre of the town, just off the seafront.
Our excursions will explore the spectacular Welsh landscape, including Snowdon, from the vantage point of some of Wales’ scenic heritage railways.
We’ll visit Caernarfon Castle, Conway, Betwy-y-Coed, gateway to Snowdonia, and Portmeirion, location of 1960s TV series The Prisoner and now one of Wales’ foremost visitor attractions.
