Known for its picture-perfect harbour, Conwy features a seaside castle, the ‘world’s smallest house,’ and delightful eateries serving the best fish and chips. We enjoy an included visit to Conwy Castle.

Next, we cross the Menai Straits via the world’s first modern suspension bridge, heading onto Anglesey Island. We visit the western tip of North Wales to admire the South Stack Lighthouse, dramatic sea cliffs, and a nature reserve. Our journey continues with stops in the lovely seaside town of Beaumaris and the photo-worthy Llanfairpwllgwyngyll. We then return over the bridge to the coast and arrive in Llandudno for our overnight stay.
