Holiday Itinerary
Day 1 Depart from your home area in the morning travelling to North Wales and arrive late afternoon at Celtic Royal Hotel. Tea/coffee and biscuits on arrival. 4 nights stay - dinner, bed & breakfast.
Day 2 After breakfast this morning we make our way west to Bodnant Garden. Located in the Conwy Valley, this garden is a Grade I listed horticultural gem. After our visit, we make the short journey north to the seaside resort of Llandudno. The rest of the day is free for you to explore at leisure. Take a stroll along the wide promenade and enjoy the sea air or enjoy some retail therapy.
Day 3 This morning we journey to Anglesey making a stop at Llanfairpwllgwyngyll - home to the famous James Pringle complex at Llanfair PG. After spending some time here, we travel along the coastline to Beaumaris. We have some free time to stretch our legs before we head to the pier to board a 75-minute cruise to Puffin Island. The island is home to an abundance of wildlife and a colony of grey seals, and you may also spot dolphins or porpoises.
Day 4 This morning is free for you to explore our base of Caernarfon. This afternoon we make the journey to Pant Du Vineyard and Orchard. We will meet our guide for a tour around their orchard and vineyard followed by a tasting of the Pant Du produce. After our visit, we enjoy a scenic drive through the Snowdonia National Park to idyllic village of Betws-y-Coed. We enjoy free time here before returning to our hotel.
Day 5 We bid farewell to North Wales and leave the hotel after breakfast, making our way back to Chelmsford with suitable refreshment stops on the way.
