DAY 2 NORTH WALES PATH - CONWY

TO ST GWYNANS

Walk 13.5km/8.5 miles - 5 hrs or 7.2km/4.5 miles - 5 hrs

Pop your comfy walking shoes on for our first day of fresh air, panoramic views and exploration of the North Wales Path. Our adventure begins at medieval Conwy, the home of UNESCO-listed Conwy Castle, and we’ll pass the smallest house in Britain on our way up Conwy Mountain. Lovely views greet us as we head through the rolling hills to Sychnant Pass. At this point, you can choose to take a shorter walk back down the lush valley path, where you’ll be met by the coach in St Gwynans for an afternoon of free time back in Conwy. Should you wish to trek on, we’ll pass Maen Esgob and continue along the Wales Coast Path. Follow countryside lanes cross high moors, dotted with the occasional quaint cottage and historic stone walls. As we head towards Foel Lus, your reward becomes clear as incredible coastal views open before us. After enjoying the peaceful surrounds, we’ll journey back down to St Gwynans.

ALL HIGHLIGHTS INCL.

DAY 4 BEDDGELERT - WELSH HIGHLAND RAILWAY

Walk 8km/5 miles - 5 hrs or 7.3km/4.5 miles - 5 hrs

The pretty village of Beddgelert is famous for a legend starring Llywelyn the Great and his dog, Gelert, who is said to be buried nearby. However, there’s much more to the town than myths, with its picturesque stone buildings bordered by mountainous vistas. Today, you’ll have the choice of two amazing walks. Follow the picturesque Glaslyn river and the lake of Llyn Dinas on the first, from Nant Gwynant to Beddgelert. We’ll pass the Sygun Copper Mine, a Victorian-era excavation site, before free time to explore the town. Or, challenge yourself to the second walk to Aberglaslyn. It continues past Llyn Dinas to traverse trails with stunning views of the Cwm Bychan Valley. Serene woodlands and idyllic running streams accompany us to Aberglaslyn. Next, it’s all aboard as we embark on an exciting journey on the Welsh Highland Railway. We’ll travel in vintage carriages with steam engines whisking us through the spectacular scenery. The train stops beneath the majestic walls of famous Caernarfon Castle, one of the most impressive structures of the Middle Ages. (B,L,D)

DAY 5 DEPART LLANBERIS

Enjoy breakfast at the hotel and then make your way back home. (B)

THE ROYAL VICTORIA HOTEL ★★★

Located in the shadow of Snowdon and on the edge of Snowdonia National Park, the Royal Victoria Hotel is set within 30 acres of woodland and gardens. Hotel facilities include three restaurants and a bar/lounge. Bedrooms include private facilities.

Please note: Most walks take place on paths and tracks. Some will be slightly more strenuous and may involve moderate slopes, hills, stiles and foot bridges, which may be rough underfoot. Sturdy walking shoes are essential. Car parking charges may apply – see the hotels website for more details.

Fuel up with a hearty breakfast this morning, for two wonderful walks. The first is a circular path through an upland environment that’s world-famous for unique rock formations and rare plant life. In fact, Cwm Idwal was the first National Nature Reserve in Wales. The area was sculpted by the Ice Age into jagged cliffs, ridges and the bowl-shaped hollow of Cwm Idwal itself, filled with the pristine water of Llyn Idwal Lake. To complete the spectacular scene, Llyn Idwal rests on a backdrop of sheer, black cliffs known as ‘The Devil’s Kitchen’. Next we drive to the lively mountain village of Betws-y-Coed. If you’d like to, you can take a break here to enjoy locally-sourced
