Take in Caernarfon Castle
Travel with your group to the expansive grounds of Caernarfon Castle, one of the greatest buildings to be constructed during the Middle Ages. An absolute fortress to behold, this castle has been standing for over 700 years, and simply looking over its Romanesque turrets and detailed eagle statues is enough to see why it’s been granted World Heritage status. Wander its captivating and historic halls before making your way to the top of its towers for a view of the harbour you’ll never forget.
Train it up Mt. Snowdon
While trekking up Mt. Snowdon is a great way to view Snowdonia’s lush landscapes, catching the Snowdon Mountain Railway is just as good of an option and requires half the effort. Departing from Llanberis Station, choose from either a traditional diesel service or a heritage steam train to take you three-quarters of the way up the mountain before stopping to let you enjoy 30 minutes of epic scenery (and photo-taking time) on what is guaranteed to be an unforgettable journey.
Visit the Llechwedd Slate Caverns
If you think Snowdonia’s beauty is only limited to what you can see above ground, then think again. Buried below its staggering mountains and rolling green valleys lies a story of slate millions of years in the making. Embark on a truly unique experience through quarry after quarry before travelling underground to explore the Llechwedd Deep Mine where you’ll be met with hand-carved caverns and the spectacular light and sound show at the mine’s own captivating lake.
Chase a beautiful waterfall or two
The Snowdonian landscape is made up of many mesmerising things to look at but perhaps none more so than its enchanting waterfalls. Scattered throughout Snowdonia National Park and the surrounding region, each waterfall you visit is bound to put the cherry on top of your fantastic and unforgettable Welsh holiday. From the staggering height of Aber Falls (120ft) to the dramatic and romantic Swallow Falls, you can’t go past these easily photographable scenic spots.
Hike your way through Snowdonia National Park
Boasting the title of the ‘largest National Park in Wales', Snowdonia National Park deserves to be seen and explored for its bewitching landscapes and jaw-dropping scenery. Not only can you look out at Wales’ largest lake and try climbing up its largest mountain, but you can also do some epic stargazing with some of the darkest and clearest skies in the world. Whether you want to indulge in a little history or simply soak up the tranquility only immersing yourself in nature brings, visiting the park is a must.
Test your tastebuds with some Welsh food
One of the best ways to immerse yourself in a region’s culture is to try out some specialty dishes and luckily for you, Wales has some of the tastiest (and most interesting) food in the United Kingdom. Ask your guide for their restaurant recommendations and prepare your tastebuds for an epic feast that won’t stop until after your trip is over. From the tasty and cheesy goodness of Welsh rarebit to the teatime treat of Welsh Cakes (pice ar y maen), you’ll never go hungry in Snowdonia.
