You will be met off your cruise ship and taken across Anglesey Island with photo stops at Llanfairpwllgwyngyll... station and the Menai Strait then travel along the North Wales coast to Conwy a medieval walled town with a UNESCO world heritage castle. Here you'll be met by a local qualified and experienced guide who will have the castle tickets and we can explore the defensive structures and learn what life was like living in such a castle. We'll climb up a tower and walk along the wall walks if you wish.
After about an hour in the castle we'll walk through the narrow streets of the old town through the interesting churchyard. I'll point out interesting shops and places to eat as we stroll down to the quayside to see the oldest building in Conwy and the Smallest House in Great Britain learning about the bridges and the tunnel over the Conwy Estuary. I'll leave you to have free time in the town and show you where you meet your driver for the ride back to Holyhead .
