Our Anglesey and Snowdonia Tour provides a great contrast of coastal scenery of the island, with the magnificent mountain regions of the Snowdonia National Park.

We’ll spend the morning on the island touring along the scenic Menai Straits. The coastal views don’t come any better where we witness the spectacular setting of the bridges and the fishing Isle, with a stunning backdrop of the Snowdonia Mountains. You can also choose to visit the famous town with the longest name in Wales, Britain and Europe.

We take in the medieval history with a visit to Beaumaris Castle, said to be the best castle that was designed in medieval times. Our lunch stop is set in a beautiful secluded bay on the island, with an 18th century waterside inn.
Then in the afternoon, we take to the hills and mountains on the mainland, where we tour amongst the most magnificent scenery in the National Park.

Our route takes us through the heart of the Snowdonia National Park. We have secret views and locations that present the most dramatic landscapes. Our tour will route us up into the mountains taking in three different scenic mountain passes and reach out along ‘the most scenic road in Wales,’ to view the summit of Mount Snowdon (distant views – subject to visibility).

We exit the Snowdonia Mountains in another dramatic glacial valley, which is out of reach of the big tour buses. The landscape is breath taking as we follow a single-track road that was originally laid down by the Romans, passing through several sheep farms.

What's on the Touring Route

The options below provide you with a choice of places to see and things to do during your touring day with us. We will work with you to design the perfect custom tailor made tour around your personal preferences and choices.

Please note: It is not possible to cover and include every location in one day.
Some attractions have restricted operating and opening times.

The town with the longest name in Wales and Europe

No visit to Wales would be complete without visiting the town with the longest place name in Britain. We stop for photographs and there is also a chance to shop for souvenirs in the local store.

The Menai Strait Viewpoint

Enjoy one of the most scenic landscapes in the whole of Wales, as you look down over the Menai Strait, with the famous suspension bridge, along with the fishing island and the magnificent backdrop of the Snowdonia and coastal mountains.

Thomas Telford Suspension Bridge

A spectacular waterside setting underneath the bridge. There is an option to enjoy a short walk along the edge of the Menai Strait to wander along the ‘Belgium’ promontory and to discover the 6th century church of St Tysilio on ‘Church Island’.

Beaumaris Castle

Discover the last hurrah of King Edward 1st massive medieval castle building programme in North Wales.

Beaumaris Castle is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site and is claimed to be the best medieval castle ever built, but never finished.

Lunch at an 18th century country inn

Our selected venue for lunch is a beautiful 18th century inn, nestling in the corner of a secluded bay on the Isle of Anglesey. It’s the sort of pace that you never ever get to find or discover.

Walk the UNESCO Slate Mountain Landscapes

We drive out to an elevation on the slate mountain for our second short walk of the day. Here you will get to witness the harsh conditions of working life on the side of the mountain, whilst taking in some of the best scenic landscapes of the whole touring day.

This short walk is around 45 minutes in duration and is fairly gentle in the slope, walking on cut rock tracks, with uneven surfaces.

The Secret View

A beautiful lakeside setting. We call it the secret view as its out of sight to everyone passing along the two main roads nearby, yet we open up an amazing vista of a glacial lake and the Snowdonia Mountains.

Blade of the Giants

Enjoy this stunning lakeside setting with the ‘Sword in the Stone’.

We have many Arthurian legends in the mountains and the Sword in Stone provides a link to one of the great legends of Excalibur being thrown back to the lady of the lake.

Dolbadarn Castle

Guarding the entrance to the mountains, Dolbadarn Castle was one of the key castles built by the Welsh Princes’s of Gwynedd to defend their kingdom. The setting is spectacular, overlooking two glacial lakes and sitting at the foot of the lower slopes of Mount Snowdon

Touring the Scenic Mountain Passes of Snowdonia

Enjoy the beauty of the mountains and valleys with their stunning lakes. Our route takes us up into the mountains through a former glacial field, as we tour through three different scenic mountain passes.

Mount Snowdon Viewpoint

We stop on an elevated platform to view the highest Mountain in Wales at 3,560 feet above sea level. The scenic landscapes of mountain and glacial valleys is a photographer’s paradise.

Snowdonia National Park Touring

We then go onto tour by a set of twin glacial lakes, where there is an optional stop for photographs, before reaching a third lake, for another short stop, prior to entering another breathtaking valley.

Glacial Valley of the Sheep Farms

Here we tour along a beautiful glacial valley, along a trail that was once laid down by the Romans and pass through several sheep farms. There are several stops for photographs and even a chance to take a short walk amongst the most magnificent scenery of the Snowdonia National Park.
