We travel to Llandudno with a stop in Chester en route.
After breakfast, we take you for a drive through the colourful autumn scenery of Snowdonia National Park. We visit the alpine-esque village of Betws-y-Coed, set in a beautful valley surrounded by dense woodland of the Gwydyr Forest, hence it is often referred to a 'Little Switzerland!' From here we continue through Blaenau Ffstiniog and dropping down into pretty Porthmadog where we have a little free time before we continue our scenic circular tour in the shadows of Snowdon via the stunning Llanberis pass, back to Llandudno.<br />
Enjoy a full day at leisure in Llandudno today; developed as an upmarket seaside holiday town for its Edwardian and Victorian visitors, Llandudno is Wales' largest resort; uniquely situated between the Great and Little Ormes, it is home to a magnificent promenade, tearooms, and shops.<br />
Enjoy another day at leisure in Llandudno or join us for an optional full day excursion to the Isle of Angelsey; home to the Prince & Princess of Wales when William served at RAF Valley, we visit nearby Caernarfon and the town of Beaumaris, along with a photo stop at the famed train station of Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch.<br />
We return home via a short stop in picturesque Llanberis.
