Nestled between the Great Orme and Little Orme headlands, Llandudno is known for its elegant promenade, sweeping bay, and beautifully preserved 19th-century architecture.

Explore the nearby medieval town of Conwy, strolling along its historic walls and taking in the impressive Conwy Castle, with its towering battlements and panoramic river views. Then board the historic Great Orme Tramway, ascending to the summit for spectacular vistas of the coastline and surrounding mountains. Venture into the scenic Conwy Valley, passing through rolling countryside and visiting the beautiful Bodnant Gardens, where colourful terraces, wild gardens, and woodland glades await. Continue inland to the charming villages of Llanrwst and Betws-y-Coed, set among forests, rivers, and waterfalls that showcase the best of Snowdonia’s natural beauty.

Day Three: Bodnant Gardens & Conwy Valley

Today, we enjoy a full day tour of the scenic Conwy Valley, stretching from the coastal town of Conwy inland through rolling countryside and dramatic mountain landscapes toward Betws-y-Coed and the Snowdonia National Park. Carved by the River Conwy, the valley is a tapestry of lush farmland, ancient woodlands, and charming stone-built villages. Along the way, we’ll find historic sites, traditional Welsh culture, and stunning natural beauty. Our first stop is the beautiful Bodnant Gardens, one of the most celebrated gardens in Wales, renowned for its breathtaking design, rich plant collections, and stunning views over the Conwy Valley towards the Snowdonia mountains. Managed by the National Trust, it spans around 80 acres and offers a remarkable blend of formal terraces, wild gardens, and woodland glades. 

We continue to the picturesque market town of Llanrwst, with its iconic three-arched bridge and the ivy-clad Tu Hwnt i’r Bont tearoom. A short drive takes us on to Betws-y-Coed, often referred to as the Gateway to Snowdonia. The village dates back to the 14th century and its Victorian and stone-built architecture gives it a timeless charm. Filled with outdoor shops, cafés and local craft galleries, the afternoon is at leisure to explore before returning to Llandudno. In the evening we'll gather for our farewell dinner.
