Edward I’s Castles and Medieval Wales
North Wales contains some of the finest medieval castles in Europe, built by Edward I as part of his campaign to control Wales in the 13th century. This tour takes in the great fortresses of the region, including Caernarfon Castle, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most impressive surviving medieval buildings in Britain. Your guide will bring the history to life, explaining the stories behind the stone and the lasting impact of the castle-building programme on Welsh identity and culture.
Snowdonia: Castles, Waterfalls and Lakes
Eryri, the Snowdonia National Park, covers over 800 square miles of mountains, lakes, forests and moorland. This tour explores its most spectacular scenery, from the summit views around Snowdon to the hidden waterfalls of the Lledr and Conwy valleys, taking in lakeside villages, mountain passes and the kind of landscapes that have been drawing painters and poets for centuries.
Anglesey Island Discovery Tour
The Isle of Anglesey sits off the northwest coast of Wales, connected to the mainland by the Menai Suspension Bridge. It is a place of prehistoric monuments, lighthouse headlands, sandy beaches and fishing villages that feel genuinely remote despite being less than an hour from the A55. This tour reveals the quieter, more surprising side of an island that most visitors only pass through on their way to Holyhead.
Llandudno and the Conwy Valley Explorer
Llandudno is the largest seaside resort in Wales, with a Victorian pier, a sweeping bay and the dramatic headland of the Great Orme rising above the town. This tour pairs it with the Conwy Valley, one of North Wales’s most scenic river corridors, taking in Conwy Castle, the medieval town walls, Bodnant Garden and the villages and viewpoints that line the valley between the coast and the mountains.
Portmeirion and the Cambrian Coast
Portmeirion is unlike anywhere else in Wales. The Italianate village designed by Sir Clough Williams-Ellis sits on a private peninsula on the southern edge of Snowdonia, overlooking the Dwyryd Estuary. This tour combines a visit to Portmeirion with the spectacular scenery of the Cambrian Coast, the Llyn Peninsula and the historic town of Criccieth, with its castle overlooking Cardigan Bay.
North Wales Railway Heritage Trail
North Wales has one of the finest collections of heritage and narrow gauge railways in Britain. The Ffestiniog Railway, the Welsh Highland Railway, the Llangollen Railway and the Great Orme Tramway are among the most celebrated, and each has a distinct character and history. This tour is designed for those who want to experience the region’s railway heritage in depth, travelling through mountain passes and river valleys on some of the most scenic routes in Wales.
Gardens and Stately Homes of North Wales
North Wales is home to some of the finest gardens and historic houses in Britain. Bodnant Garden, maintained by the National Trust and famous for its laburnum arch and terraced gardens above the Conwy Valley, is one of the highlights of the region. This tour also takes in the stately homes and landscaped estates that reflect the wealth and ambition of the Victorian and Edwardian landed gentry who shaped much of the North Wales landscape.
Llangollen and the Dee Valley
Llangollen sits in one of the most beautiful river valleys in Wales, with the River Dee running through the town beneath the ruins of Castell Dinas Bran. The Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, which carries the Llangollen Canal across the Dee Valley at a height of 38 metres, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the great engineering achievements of the Industrial Revolution. This tour explores the town and its surroundings in depth, including the aqueduct, the steam railway, Valle Crucis Abbey and the scenic passes and viewpoints of the Dee Valley.
Shore Excursions from Holyhead and Liverpool
Vale offer dedicated shore excursions for cruise passengers docking at Holyhead or arriving via Liverpool. These tours are designed around your ship’s schedule, ensuring you make the most of your time ashore and return to port comfortably and on time. Shore excursions cover the same range of destinations as the standard tours, and can be tailored to the time available and the interests of your group.
