Snowdonia to Anglesey

This magnificent trip across the Welsh countryside spans 26 miles, taking you from the region's tallest mountain, Snowdonia, to its westernmost point, Anglesey. The route is jam-packed with things to see and do, including stops at Snowdonia National Park and Penrhyn Castle and Garden. After crossing the Britannia Bridge onto Anglesey, consider stopping at the town with the world's longest name. There's not much to do here, but it makes an excellent snapshot to share to your friends.

Your voyage concludes at the South Stack Lighthouse on Holy Island. In the summer, you may climb the lighthouse for spectacular ocean views all the way to Ireland. On this short road journey, see the best of North Wales and the spectacular Snowdonia National Park. Begin your tour at the Victorian resort town of Llandudno and go to some of Wales' most spectacular natural wonders. With so many interesting tourist towns and stunning mountain ranges along this route, it will be difficult to pick a favorite.

Llandudno is a prominent coastal resort town that attracts visitors from all over the UK for a short holiday. The town's claim to fame is its connection to Lewis Carroll, the creator of Alice in Wonderland. Statues related to the legends may be found throughout the town's colorful, Victorian streets. The most remarkable activity in town, though, is a drive around the beautiful Great Orme Headland. Spend the afternoon wandering around Llandudno's lively pier.
