More about the trip
The the ancient walled town of Conwy in North Wales lies between the mountains of Snowdonia and the sea. When we arrive we'll take you to the 1000 year old Conwy castle, and then you'll have time to explore the pretty little town and some of its unusual sights (such as the smallest house in Britain - it's tiny!). After lunch we'll drive back over the border to Chester.
Chester
Chester was once the largest Roman fortress in Britain, so some parts of the city are 2000 years old. Its walls are the biggest and most complete in Britain and they surround Roman ruins, 13th century streets, and the 1000 year old Cathedral. We'll show you our favourite parts including the city walls, the black and white medieval shopping mall the Rows, the Eastgate Clock which is the most photographed clock in Britain (after Big Ben), and the remains of the Roman amphitheatre.
