Snowdonia National Park never fails to impress!

Enjoy a walk around the village, a stroll along the lake or take the little train to the slate museum. You may also choose to join the Snowdon Mountain Railway from the town.

We also explore the beautiful surrounding area on this holiday. Joined by our superb local guide for 2 days including a full day touring through the National Park park including a memorable trip on the Ffestiniog & Welsh Highland Railway and a visit to the remarkable Portmeirion. Strictly for lovers of wonderful scenery this one!
