North Wales Castle Adventure – 3 Days of Medieval Magic 🏰

# 🏰 North Wales Castle Adventure

### 3 Days • Medieval Castles • Sea, Stone & Stories

📅 18–20 April 2026

Some places don’t just show you history.
They whisper it through stone walls, sea wind and ancient towers.
North Wales is one of those places.
This is an invitation to step into a land of kings, fortresses and legends — to walk where armies once marched, to stand on castle walls with the Irish Sea below and the mountains of Snowdonia behind you.
This is not a rushed tour.
It’s a carefully crafted journey, designed for people who love stories, places with soul, and the quiet magic of old stones.

## 🗓️ The Journey

🗺️ PROGRAMME

### 🗓 Day 1 – Saturday, 18 April

### The first stones speak

Our journey begins as we cross into Wales and step back in time.
🏰 Rhuddlan Castle
A fortress with a rare diamond-shaped design, guarding the River Clwyd.
Quiet, elegant and full of atmosphere — the perfect first encounter with medieval Wales.
🏰 Conwy Castle & Town Walls
One of the greatest castles ever built. Eight towers, complete town walls, and views that stretch from the harbour to the mountains.
Walking the walls of Conwy feels like stepping inside a living history book.
In the evening, we check in and enjoy a peaceful seaside walk as the sun sinks into the Irish Sea.

### 🗓 Day 2 – Sunday, 19 April

### Castles of power and ambition

🏰 Beaumaris Castle
The most perfectly designed castle of its time — and yet never finished.
A beautiful reminder that even kings sometimes leave dreams incomplete.
🏰 Caernarfon Castle
Bold, imposing and unforgettable.
This is the castle of princes and ceremonies, built to impress and dominate. Standing here, you feel its power immediately.
🏰 Dolwyddelan Castle (if time allows)
A mountain stronghold rising from the landscape itself. A quiet, atmospheric stop for photos and fresh mountain air.
Evening back by the sea, with warm food and shared stories.

***

### 🗓 Day 3 – Monday, 20 April

### The sea and the final crown

🏰 Criccieth Castle
A smaller castle with a dramatic soul, standing on a rocky headland above the bay.
Perfect light, endless sea and a feeling of quiet strength.
🏰 Harlech Castle
The crown of North Wales.
High above the sea, with Snowdonia behind it, Harlech feels timeless.
This is where we pause, take it all in, and let the journey settle.
We return in the evening, carrying images and stories that stay far longer than photographs.
