Snowdon Mountain Railway and North Wales for Solo Travellers

Overview

Local departure by coach or Home Connect service and then onto Mold in North Wales where we stay for four nights.

Overview

Today we discover some of the Isle of Anglesey’s most beautiful towns. We begin at Llanfair PG, the village with the longest name in Britain, before continuing to beautiful Beaumaris.

A captivating seaside town, Beaumaris is home to a delightful mix of medieval, Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian architecture, and has a wealth of history to discover. The castle is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and was constructed between 1295 - 1330, with perfectly symmetrical lines of fortifications. You’ll also find many quaint cafés and cosy pubs to relax in.

Overview

Enjoy a day at the seaside with a trip to Llandudno. This popular holiday resort on the Welsh coast has plenty to offer with its glorious Victorian pier, traditional seaside attractions, and the Great and Little Ormes which frame the bay. Why not take the cable car or tram to the summit of the Great Orme? You’ll be rewarded with beautiful views of the town, coast and Snowdonia Mountains.

Overview

We venture into Snowdonia National Park today. This is Wales' largest National Park and an area that is steeped in culture, history and fascinating heritage. We head for Llanberis at the foot of Mount Snowdon, where we join the Snowdon Mountain Railway for a trip to the summit. The visitor centre at the top, known as Hafod Eryri, blends into the natural surroundings and you’ll have enough time to reach the actual summit if you wish, or perhaps enjoy a drink before we journey back down the mountainside.

Later in the day we call at the pretty village of Betws-y-Coed. Nestled right in the heart of the park, you’ll find independent shops, outdoor retailers and popular cafés, all surrounded by stunning scenery.
