Heading north, we travel into the dramatic heart of Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park, where towering peaks meet glacial valleys. Welsh history comes alive at Caernarfon and Conwy Castles, UNESCO-listed fortresses that tell stories of medieval kings and ancient battles. You'll ride the historic Vale of Rheidol steam train, enjoy a traditional love-spoon carving demonstration, visit the charming Italianate village of Portmeirion, and taste some of Wales' most iconic produce, including Penderyn whisky and the famous Halen Môn sea salt.

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.

If castles are more your thing, Caerphilly Castle, which is the largest in Wales, will wow you with its leaning tower and giant moat. For nature lovers, Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) offers rolling hills and waterfalls, while the pretty market town of Hay-on-Wye is perfect for book lovers. Prefer the sea?
