Welsh Adventure Shore Excursion

Two countries in one port day. Your local guide meets you at Liverpool Cruise Terminal and just over an hour later you're crossing into Wales, where the road signs switch to Welsh and the mountains start to rise.

First stop is Conwy, a walled town that has barely changed in over 700 years. Conwy Castle was built for King Edward I in the 1280s and is part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Walk a stretch of the town walls for views over the harbour, then squeeze into the smallest house in Britain on the quayside, just 1.8 metres wide.

Next it's up onto the Great Orme, the headland above Llandudno, for an incredible view over the bay, the Irish Sea and back towards the mountains. Keep your eyes on the slopes: the Orme is home to a herd of wild Kashmiri goats, and in spring you'll often spot the nannies feeding their young on the side of the mountain.

Then it's into Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park, home of Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon), the highest mountain in Wales. Expect mountain passes, lakes, old stone bridges and plenty of photo stops.

Lunch is in a traditional Welsh village and it's pay as you go, so it's a good chance to try local food and drink. Look out for Welsh favourites like cawl, a slow cooked lamb and vegetable broth, and Welsh rarebit.

On the way back we follow the North Wales coast, and you're at the terminal at least an hour before all aboard. It's just your group in the vehicle, so you set the pace and ask as many questions as you like.
