The North Wales Way Road Trip Guidebook is a structured multi-day journey through one of Wales’s most varied regions — from Anglesey’s open horizons to castle-lined estuaries and quiet border hills.

Covering 188 miles (302 km), the route is ideal for 5–8 days, with flexibility for 3–10+ days. It’s organised into four clear sections reflecting how North Wales is truly experienced.

Anglesey (Ynys Môn) – Beaches, lighthouses and Beaumaris Castle beside the Menai Strait.

North Wales Coast – Caernarfon and Conwy castles, plus Llandudno’s Victorian promenade.

Clwydian Range & Dee Valley – Hills, canals and the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct near Llangollen.

Themed Scenic Routes – Optional maritime and heritage loops.

Each section includes narrative introductions, route structure and time-based planning ideas.

This self-guided trip helps you plan & take your own pace.

With 12 months included, access from selected booking date — choose a date that allows time for planning, rather than travel date.

  • Fantastic Trail Riding Adventure - Wales @ It’s Finest

    Steve A,,May 25, 2025

    - Review from Tripadvisor

    5.00

    Fantastic Trail Riding Weekend between Conway to Anglesey & Return. Superb beaches just off the main A55 that all the traffic thunders down missing real gems. Added to these are fun forest riding and beaches en route down to Anglesey. Weather was dry and clear so provided a great weekend of fun. Only issue to watch is the prevailing wind can sometimes whip up you being sand blasted 😆 so make sure to have your rising glasses on All in all great ride & looking forward to doing the other Wales coast rides.
