Tour Itinerary

 

Monday – We depart Wiltshire and travel to North Wales and our hotel in Llandudno, our base for the next five nights. Time to settle in before dinner. Comfort stops on route.

 

Tuesday – Today we travel to the coastal town of Porthmadog. This quaint harbour town is rich in maritime history and is full of craft shops and tea rooms. Free time to explore and get a spot of lunch before we climb aboard our Welsh Highland Steam train for a two-and-a-half-hour ride back to Caernarfon on one of Wales’s great heritage railways.       

 

Wednesday – We start our day with a scenic drive to Llanuwchllyn for our 1st train of the day. The Bala lake railway. Enjoy an hour’s round trip on this narrow-gauge railway along the southern shore of Bala Lake in Gwynedd. We continue the day travelling by coach to Llanberis. Some free time to explore the National Slate mine and have some lunch before our second narrow-gauge steam train on the old slate railway route along beautiful Lake Padarn.

 

Thursday – A free day for you to enjoy Llandudno with its famous promenade and array of shops and tea-rooms. You may wish to ride the ‘Great Orme Tramway’ a five-minute walk from our hotel or simply relax in the comfort of our hotel.

 

Friday – This morning we ride the scenic Ffestiniog Railway starting beside the harbour in Porthmadog, we climb 700 feet above sea level through the Snowdonia National Park, passing forest, lakes, and waterfalls and through mountains to the town of Blaenau Ffestiniog. The coach will be waiting to take us on to the magical coastal village of Portmeirion, home to historical cottages, stylish shops, award winning restaurants, cafes, an Italian ice-cream parlour, and exotic gardens all set amongst iconic architecture.
