Llandudno is Wales largest resort with attractions uniquely situated between the Great and Little Ormes with two wonderful beaches, the award winning North Shore and the quiet, sand duned West Shore.

Llandudno has kept its Victorian and Edwardian elegance and splendour, despite its modern attractions. Perhaps most notably, Llandudno was the regular holiday destination of Alice Liddells family, the same Alice Liddell who inspired Lewis Carrolls title character of the novel Alice in Wonderland. It is thought that this wonderful resort and its majestic surroundings were inspiration for the extraordinary visuals of the story.

Buxton is surrounded on three sides by the Peak District National Park, the oldest National Park in England. It is “a treasured landscape of exceptional natural beauty shaped by the interaction of people and nature over thousands of years”.

It covers 555 square miles (1,438 square kilometres) in parts of the counties of Derbyshire, Yorkshire, Staffordshire, Cheshire and Greater Manchester.

Visitors have travelled to bathe in Buxton's mineral waters for thousands of years but Buxton is also deservedly renowned for its beautiful Georgian and Victorian architecture - much of it linked with the 5th Duke of Devonshire's ambitions to create a spa town to rival Bath back in the 18th century.

Betws-y-Coed is a small village and community in North Wales with a lovely name – it translates into English as “the prayer house in the woods”. The name is a wonderfully descriptive one, and one which tells you all about the history of the place. The earliest recording of the name is back in 1254, when that is all it was: a chapel, located in the middle of some woodland.
These days, Betws-y-Coed is widely known as a beautiful tourist destination. It is one of the few places calling itself “The Gateway to Snowdonia” – and it’s not hard to see why, located as it is just inside the north-easterly part of the famous National Park.

We then head north to Aberystwyth, the culture capital of Wales and home to the National Library, University and an excellent Arts Centre.
