Day 1 Travel to your hotel in North Wales, with a recommended stop in the Potteries en route.

Day 2 This morning we visit Conwy, one of Britain’s best-preserved medieval towns. Its ancient walls, enclose a town of narrow cobbled streets, full of historic buildings dominated by the castle with its authentic atmosphere. This afternoon is to Beaumaris, in the southeast corner of Anglesey for a 75 minute Puffin Island Wildlife Cruise. With an abundance of wildlife in their natural habitat, look out for the seabirds, grey seals and possibly bottlenose dolphins! Time allowing, return to the hotel via the stunning Snowdonia National Park.

Day 3 Head south this morning travelling over the spectacular Horseshoe Pass to Llangollen. Enjoy a lovely horse drawn boat trip along the canal, which is part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site and home to a rich variety of local flora and fauna. This afternoon is to National Trust Erdigg Hall, one of the country's finest stately homes, built in 1864-1867 for Josiah Edisbury, the High Sheriff of Denbighshire. Visitors will enjoy exploring this much loved house and garden, which is filled with stories of the family and their servants, whom were held in unusually high regard.

Day 4 First stop today is the small market town of Ruthin for time at leisure. On then to Bala for a delightful narrow gauge steam train journey through the beautiful Snowdonia National Park. The 9 mile return journey, alongside Bala Lake gives excellent views of the lake and surrounding scenery.
