Spend a day discovering North Wales with your own private driver-guide, travelling from Wrexham through a mix of castles, mountains and quaint villages.
Our first stop is the impressive Chirk Castle, a 13th-century fortress with beautifully kept gardens and sweeping views over the Welsh Marches. Then it’s on to Llangollen, a riverside town famed for its historic bridge and annual International Eisteddfod festival.
Just outside town, we pause at the mighty Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, a UNESCO World Heritage site where narrowboats glide high above the River Dee – a perfect photo stop.
Next, we journey to the medieval town of Conwy to explore its imposing castle, walk the well-preserved town walls, and peek inside the quirky Smallest House in Britain. After a delicious Welsh lunch in Conwy, we drive deep into Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park, passing craggy peaks and shimmering lakes.
A stop at Betws-y-Coed (known as the “gateway to Snowdonia”) is an opportunity to browse craft shops or visit the dramatic Swallow Falls. Return to Wrexham in the early evening after a day packed with Welsh highlights.
