Overview

Ditch the typical “sightseeing” tour for an active day of exploration in North Wales. This tour is specifically designed to get you out of the van and onto the trails. From walking across the world’s highest aqueduct to summiting the highest point in the Clwydian Range, this is a day trip for people who prefer hiking boots to bus seats.

  • Active Experience: Includes a 5km hike to the top of Moel Famau (moderate difficulty).
  • Hidden Gems: Visit Ewloe Castle, a mysterious ruin tucked away from the main tourist routes.
  • Small Groups: Avoid the “minibus-and-microphone” vibe of larger companies.

Activity itinerary

Pontcysyllte Aqueduct

  • 30m
Walk across Thomas Telford's masterpiece. It’s a UNESCO site and offers the best views in Wales

Llangollen

  • 1h 30m
Explore the riverside and the town of Llangollen. A great spot for a local Welsh lunch.

Moel Famau

  • 2h
The main event. We spend the afternoon hiking to the Jubilee Tower. It’s a 5km loop on a well-maintained path. It’s steep in parts but achievable for anyone with moderate fitness.

Castell Ewloe

  • 45m
Our first hidden gem. We take a walk through the Wepre forest to find this atmospheric, "native" Welsh castle tucked away from the crowds. It’s the perfect, peaceful end to our adventure.
