WALES & WICKLOW
 We
have decided to combine two of our most successful destinations, the Wicklow Mountains
and Snowdonia National Park in North Wales, into a spectacular 8-daytour.
Our
base in Wales is in the Victorian village of Betws-y-Coed, North Wales', the principal
village of the Snowdonia National Park, where most of our walking will be done. The
Park is the second largest in England and Wales and covers an area of 2,171 square
kilometer's (838 square miles) of northwest Wales. The park has some of the best
walks in Britain, offering everything from oak woodlands, wild flowing rivers,
cascading waterfalls, tranquil lakes to rocky mountains and moorland. Dominated
by the highest mountain in England and Wales: Mt. Snowdon, standing at 1085m/3560ft.
Whether it's nature, the great outdoors, culture or history that you love, Wales
has it all.
We will spend the final
five days of the tour in the Wicklow Mountains. An area known for its rich breathtaking
scenery, spectacular valleys, Corrie lakes and majestic mountains. Which has earned
the county the appropriate title 'The Garden of Ireland'. Wicklow
is home to the largest National Park in Ireland, which contains some of Europe's
oldest peat bog-lands, heather clad mountains, broad-leafed and coniferous woodlands
and to most of Ireland's native mammal species. Our
base is in a guesthouse just outside the pictures village of Laragh and most of
our walking will be done within the National Park. Wicklow is proud to have the
oldest way-marked trail in the country, "The Wicklow Way". We
will be walking on some of the most scenic sections that will take us to places
like Djouce Mountain, Lough Dan, Glendalough and Glenmalure Valley, which is the
longest valley in Ireland.
