描述

Depart the port of Holyhead for a real taste of North Wales & experience the magnificence of both the history and mystery of this beautiful part of the country.
This scenic day tour will take you through the heart of North Wales, starting from the ferry port of Holyhead. You'll discover a mix of medieval castles, breathtaking landscapes, and charming villages, with a special visit to the world-famous town of Llanfairpwll (Llanfair PG). With a blend of history, nature, and local culture, this excursion will give you a comprehensive taste of the region’s diverse attractions.

Your first stop is the medieval town of Conwy, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Visit the spectacular Conwy Castle, one of Edward I’s "iron ring" fortresses built in the 13th century. Stroll along the town’s well-preserved town walls and explore the narrow, cobbled streets filled with quaint shops and local cafes.

As you leave Conwy behind, the journey continues into the stunning mountains of Snowdonia National Park. Get ready to be amazed by the beauty of Ogwen Valley, located between the peaks of the Carneddau and Glyderau mountain ranges.

Ogwen Valley offers dramatic landscapes with jagged peaks, deep valleys, and crystal-clear lakes. Your stop here includes a brief walk to the shore of Llyn Ogwen, a serene glacial lake surrounded by towering mountains. It’s a perfect spot for photos and a chance to experience the tranquility of Snowdonia’s natural beauty

After soaking in the beauty of Ogwen Valley, continue your journey to the historic town of Caernarfon, located at the mouth of the River Seiont. Caernarfon Castle is another UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most impressive medieval castles in Wales. It’s famous for its polygonal towers and massive walls, and it served as the setting for the investiture of Prince Charles as Prince of Wales in 1969. Explore the castle’s interior and ramparts for stunning views of the town and the surrounding area.

Next, your tour takes you to one of the most famous places in Wales – Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch. The town’s full name holds the Guinness World Record for the longest place name in Europe, and it’s a must-see on any Welsh itinerary! Arriving in Llanfairpwll, you’ll have time to take a photo with the town’s long, tongue-twisting name. There’s a dedicated sign for visitors to pose with, and you can also visit the local shop that sells quirky souvenirs and postcards bearing the full name. Learn about the town’s origins and how its name was created as a publicity stunt in the 19th century.

From here, it is a short hop back to the port and on to your ship where you can discuss all that you have seen today with those passengers who opted for a more standard tour!
