We discover the historic great little trains of North Wales on this fantastic five-day break, where the lovely Welsh scenery and endless panoramas of the Snowdonia National Park create spectacular and memorable journeys. Based in Caernarfon we also enjoy a visit to the unique, Italianate village of Portmeirion.

In the afternoon our return takes us via the Inigo Jones Slate Works - where a self-guided tour allows you to discover a wide variety of quality natural slate products and Welsh slate crafts, along with other Celtic and Welsh products.

We have time to explore and obtain lunch in Llanberis. We return to Caernarfon for free time, where you may wish to visit the castle - one of the greatest buildings of the Middle Ages and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Wednesday

We begin with a ride through the beautiful National Park of Snowdonia to Blaenau Ffestiniog. Here we catch the Ffestiniog Railway for an exhilarating ride across the mountains, descending to the sea at Porthmadog. We have time to explore and have lunch in Porthmadog before catching the Welsh Highland Railway train which takes us through Beddgelert and all the way back to Caernarfon.

Departing after breakfast we return via Llangollen, famously situated on the River Dee, overlooked by its magnificent castle, before returning home in the afternoon.
