About the tour
Discovering the best of North Wales, we ride amazing railways, visit ancient castles and wander beautiful gardens, each one a testament to the ingenuity and creativity of the Welsh people.
Journey through stunning landscapes on the Ffestiniog Railway and ascend to new heights on the Snowdon Mountain Railway. Step into the unique village of Portmeirion losing yourself in its whimsical charm and explore the medieval Caernarfon Castle, where knights once roamed and battles raged.
Prepare to be swept away by the towering mountains, sparkling lakes, and lush green valleys of Wales that are waiting to be explored.

Itinerary
Our holiday begins in the 'Queen of Welsh Resorts', Llandudno, where we meet at our hotel. Nestled on Wales' rugged north coast and surrounded by the backdrop of Snowdonia National Park, this is an ideal base for our explorations. During a drinks reception, we get to know our group and Tour Manager before a four-course dinner in our hotel's award-winning restaurant this evening - the ideal start to our holiday.

Sorry no. I do not write reviews. I submitted my comments after the holiday and that is enough.

The trip was 5 days of enjoyable visits by coach and train covering a large area of North Wales. A lot was packed in to each day all seamlessly handled by our Tour Manager, Dawn, who was tireless in ensuring that all members of the group were well catered for. From the delightful staff at the hotel to the coach driver, Mike, nothing was too much trouble and although the itinerary packed a lot of visits in they were all very interesting and enjoyable. This is our second holiday with Great Rail Journeys and we will happily do another one,

Thoroughly enjoyed the experience - three castles, 3 railways, slate mine, Port Mellion and more. Packed days with great breakfast to start and enjoyable dinners in the evening.
