This May, come and join us for an overnight stay in North Wales. On the first day of our trip we shall make our way to the city of Chester.

It was founded as a Roman fort in the year 79 and was known as Deva. Famous for its Roman walls and beautiful Cathedral – you will have plenty of time to browse the many shops and take a lunch stop here before we leave to head onto our overnight stay at the Premier Inn, Caernafon. Here, set menu dinner and breakfast will be provided for us in the on-site ‘Table Table’ restaurant. We will unwind and relax here – and you may fancy a stroll along the harbour after dinner. The following morning after breakfast we will head to our final destination. Portmeirion is a tourist village in Gwynedd, North Wales. It was designed and built by Sir Clough Williams-Ellis between 1925 and 1975 in the style of an Italian village. It comprises a cluster of colour-washed buildings around a central piazza, scenic surroundings and extensive woodlands, historic cottages, stylish shops, award-winning restaurants, casual cafes, an Italian ice cream parlour, exotic gardens and sandy beaches. Our return journey home will be via the scenic route so that you can enjoy the spectacular views of Mount Snowdon and beyond. Included in the cost of this trip is dinner bed & breakfast at the Premier Inn and entry to Portmeirion village.
