What better time to see the stunning scenery of Wales than at this time of year. We will travel through Bannau Brycheiniog National Park, which is awash with autumn foliage and sweeping views.

We will stop for coffee before continuing on to Bodnant Garden, where there is a fiery show of Japanese acers and incredible views towards the Snowdonia mountains from the terraces, framed by the patchwork of colour. Enjoy the view of the waterfall as well as the kaleidoscope of autumn colour in the shrub borders. On our return we will pass Inigo Jones bridge in Llanrwst with it's virginia creeper-clad 'Tu Hwnt I'r Bont tearoom, where blazing red envelopes the cottage. On second excursion will be to Caernarfon on Halloween,
allowing time to visit the castle. We will enjoy the scenery in Llyn, and Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty at any time of year, but more scenic with the addition of the stunning autumn colours.
