This panoramic driving tour gives you a great overview of the Welsh countryside and Snowdonia.
You will begin by first traveling across Anglesey to cross the Menai Strait Bridge. Head through Caernarfon with views of its famous castle that dates back to 1283. It was here that the heir to the British throne, Prince Charles, was crowned Prince of Wales in 1969.
Continue inland towards the magnificent landscapes of Snowdonia National Park. This incredible park boasts some of the most amazing scenery to be found anywhere in Wales and is a visual delight. Travel deep into the park, pausing beside Llyn Padarn Lake. From here, the incredible Llanberis Pass skirts the base of Snowdon -- the highest peak in Britain south of the Scottish highlands at 3,560 feet.
The return drive takes you through the small mountain village of Capel Curig before heading northwest via Nant Ffrancon Pass back to Holyhead.
Notes:
There is minimal walking required on this tour. Participants must be able to (dis)embark the coach unassisted.
