Tour Overview
From neo-Norman Penrhyn Castle to the lovely lawns and woodlands of Bodnant Garden, the fantastic sights of north Wales offer a far richer experience than you’d expect from short breaks in north Wales. Basing ourselves in the port town of Caernarfon (home to an immense 13th-century castle), we’ll tour the colourful Italianate seaside village of Portmeirion, dreamed up by architect Clough Williams-Ellis; and ride the scenic Snowdon Mountain Railway to the summit of Wales’ highest mountain, enjoying breathtaking panoramic views.

Today’s excursion takes us to the beautiful seaside village of Portmeirion, created by architect Sir Clough Williams-Ellis over a period of 50 years.The project was inspired by his love of the Italian Riviera, with an array of buildings reminiscent of such places as Portofino. It has become one of Snowdonia’s most popular tourist attractions, and has also been used as a film set, most notably for the cult 1960s TV series ‘The Prisoner’. We enjoy a guided walking tour of the village, and stop here for a two-course lunch before returning to Caernarfon.The rest of the day may be a good opportunity to visit Caernarfon‘s impressive castle, constructed in the 13th century as a military stronghold, a seat of government and royal palace.
