Ditch the typical "sightseeing" tour for an active day of exploration in North Wales. This tour is specifically designed to get you out of the van and onto the trails. From walking across the world’s highest aqueduct to summiting the highest point in the Clwydian Range, this is a day trip for people who prefer hiking boots to bus seats.
- Active Experience: Includes a 5km hike to the top of Moel Famau (moderate difficulty).
- Hidden Gems: Visit Ewloe Castle, a mysterious ruin tucked away from the main tourist routes.
- Small Groups: Avoid the "minibus-and-microphone" vibe of larger companies.
