Caernarfon is a town of contrasts: a busy market town, a major tourist centre, the county town for Gwynedd and a major local commercial and administrative centre. Caernarfon welcomes all visitors to the town and hope that they will appreciate the town as much as those who reside there. The town has a rich past. Mighty Caernarfon is possibly the most famous of Wales's castles. Its sheer scale and commanding presence easily set it apart from the rest, and to this day, still trumpet in no uncertain terms the intention of its builder Edward I. Begun in 1283 as the definitive chapter in his conquest of Wales, Caernarfon was constructed not only as a military stronghold but also as a seat of government and royal palace. Standing at the mouth of the Seiont River, the fortress dominates the walled town also founded by Edward I. Caernarfon's symbolic status was emphasized when Edward made sure that his son, the first English Prince of Wales, was born here in 1284. In 1969, the castle gained worldwide fame as the setting for the Investiture of Prince Charles as Prince of Wales. |

After breakfast we will travel a little distance to the popular village of Portmeirion. Portmeirion was built to show how you could develop a naturally beautiful setting without spoiling it and that with sufficient skill and care architectural good manners can actually enhance the natural environment. Portmeirion is a hotel resort and a popular visitor attraction located on the coast of Snowdonia National Park 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 and is now owned by a charitable trust. His daughter Susan Williams-Ellis is the founder of Portmeirion Pottery. Portmeirion has served as the location for numerous films and television shows, most famously serving as The Village in the 1960s television show The Prisoner, with Patrick |

Enjoy a hearty Celtic breakfast. Isolated Anglesey is separated from the rest of Wales by the Menai Strait and presents a landscape of low undulating hills unlike anywhere else in the Principality. Much of the coast is wild and rugged as any to be found in the British Isles. In prehistoric times the island was Mona, The mother of Wales, and visible remains of the cultures that flourished here are everywhere. We will take the coastal road to many interesting places, Beaumaris, visited by Charles Dickens. With its imposing castle and an ice cream parlour where you can try numerous types and flavoured ice creams, a favourite stop with coaches. Amlwch, during the copper boom it boast a staggering 1,025 ale houses, today a derelict harbour gouged out of the granite cliffs. Cemaes Bay, quaint little fishing village, on the headland is Wylfa nuclear power station. English visitors get lockjaw trying to pronounce the full name of this village, Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwyllllantysiliogogogoch, where we will stop for refreshments. We return to our hotel to relax before dinner and entertainment. |

| This morning is our final Celtic breakfast at the Celtic Royal Hotel before we reload our cases on the coach, say farewell to our hosts and return via the coastal road to our local area. |
