This morning, we visit Conwy, one of Britain’s best-preserved medieval towns. This afternoon is to Beaumaris, in the southeast corner of Anglesey for a 75-minute Puffin Island Wildlife Cruise.

We head south this morning travelling over the spectacular Horseshoe Pass to Llangollen.

This afternoon we visit Erdigg Hall, one of the country’s finest stately homes, built in 1864-1867 for Josiah Edisbury, the High Sheriff of Denbighshire. Explore this much-loved house and garden, which is filled with stories of the family and their servants, whom were held in unusually high regard.
