Caernarfon is the Welshest of all towns in Wales, despite being founded by a Norman King and populated with English settlers. On this walking tour, you'll explore its cobbled streets, learning about daily life, how the town has been governed over the years, and why the Welsh language is so important today. 

The tour starts in front of a statue of David Lloyd George, the English Prime Minister during WWI, which has a view of the English castle that was built to keep the Welsh in their place. From there, you'll make your way across Caernarfon's waterfront and the Pont Yr Aber swing bridge. As you stroll through the town's old streets to St Mary's Church, you'll take in sweeping views of Caernarfon Castle across the Afon Seiont River, and meet the characters and ghosts of the past.

• Great for solo travellers, friends and families!
• BOOK THROUGH TO OCTOBER 2026!

Without doubt the most awesome route to the top of Snowdon has to be via Crib Goch. With grade one scrambles and a knife-edged arête it's the ultimate Snowdon challenge.

It starts with an easy climb from Pen y Pass along the Pyg Track before veering off to tackle the exposed ridge of Crib Goch. The bravest will march confidently along the top whilst the more nervous will be on all fours with most people managing a bit of both! The pinnacles give you a bit of easy vertical scrambling before the easy walk to Snowdon's summit. Your return journey will be along the Miners' Track where you'll have amazing views back up to Crib Goch.
