5. Take a walk round this world heritage site. After all these years Caernarfon’s immense strength remains undimmed - a brute of a fortress. History comes alive at Caernarfon in so many ways – along the lofty wall walks, beneath the twin-towered gatehouse, the walk town’s narrow and colorful streets and stylishly redeveloped waterfront of the Menai.
6. Enjoy a tour of Portmeirion, wandering around the colourful renowned Italian style coastal tourist village set in stunning surroundings and gardens. There are shops, cafés, tea-rooms and restaurants. This is best described as an artful and playful village with a fantastic collection of architectural relics.

We will drive through traditional quaint welsh mountain villages, see canyon gorges and rivers as well as learning about the local welsh history.
