10 DAYS
North & Mid-Wales
The scenic highlights of North and Mid-Wales include river valleys, spectacular mountains
and a widely varied coastline. This itinerary cuts a broad arc through the Welsh-speaking
heartland, taking in still more castles, industrial sites and beaches - these things are clichés
of Wales for a reason.
Start in
Ruthin
and take the beautiful back road which cuts through the bottom of the
Clwydian Range to
Llangollen
, a small riverside town famous for outdoor pursuits and its
World Heritage-listed canal and aqueduct. From here head west on the A5, swapping Den-
bighshire for the eastern reaches of Snowdonia National Park.
Betws-y-Coed
makes a
pretty base for forest and river walks and mountain biking.
