This magical 5- day tour takes in the outstanding beauty of North Wales and boasts three carefully planned excursions, with something to suit all tastes. Highlights include…a tour of the Penderyn Llandudno Lloyd St Distillery, a scenic ride on the Bala Lake Railway, the beautiful Isle of Anglesey and time in the Victorian coastal towns of Beaumaris and Llandudno. In addition, we visit the pretty Welsh village of Llangollen, situated within a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the James Pringle Visitor Centre and the world famous Victorian railway station with the longest name (Llanfair P.G. for short). On our travelling days, we explore Warwick, with its magnificent castle, and the historic market town of Bridgnorth.
Our hotel for this tour is the popular, independently run 3* standard Beaufort Park, a modern building situated in a semi-rural setting near the Welsh border town of Mold. All en-suite bedrooms are well appointed and are situated on the ground and first floors. There is no lift, therefore, if you are unable to manage a flight of stairs, please request a ground floor bedroom when booking. On arrival at the hotel we will be greeted with a welcome cup of tea or coffee and traditional Bara Birth.
Day 1: On leaving our local boarding points we head north, stopping en-route in Warwickshire’s county town, Warwick, world famous for its magnificent castle and historic charm. Situated on the River Avon, and blessed with beautiful parks and gardens, Warwick is a delightful town to explore and take lunch.

On leaving Beaumaris we return to our hotel for dinner. Day 3: Today we travel by way of the winding Horseshoe pass to the attractive Welsh town of Llangollen, situated in the beautiful Dee Valley.
