North Wales

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.

Our hotels’ locations make them a great base from which to explore Snowdonia and the many other unusual features of North Wales, as well as the numerous attractions, most notably the tram journey from Llandudno’s Victorian Station up to the summit of the Great Orme and the Bronze Age Mine.

You can now leave school in early morning and be in North Wales in mid-afternoon thanks to improved roads through Drogheda and Anglesey, leaving more time to take in the activities and attractions of North Wales.
