North Wales is home to some of Britain’s most beautiful coastal resorts, and can lay claim to being among the best maintained. As such, it’s an excellent destination for school groups. You can now leave school in early morning and be in North Wales in mid-afternoon, leaving more time to take in the activities and attractions of North Wales such as Snowdonia, the tram journey from Llandudno’s Victorian Station to the summit of the Great Orme and the Bronze Age Mine.
