Itinerary

Llanfairpwllgwyngyll

40 min

Have a relaxing morning onboard your ship or take in the town of Holyhead before our 1.00 pick up time. We start with a scenic drive across Anglesey to the train station with a very long name! Learn about the Welsh language and have a go at saying Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch
Menai Suspension Bridge

25 min

Take in the stunning views of the Menai Straits. Backed by the majestic mountains of Snowdonia, our viewpoint allows you to see the 198 year old Menai Suspension Bridge spanning the fast flowing waters of the straits.
Beaumaris

1 h 10 min

Spend time in Beautiful Beaumaris. You can tour the moated castle that dates from 1295 (entry ticket not included), indulge yourself in the boutique shops or just wander round this beautiful little town by the sea with views to Snowdonia.
Trefignath Chambered Tomb

50 min

See this little piece of ancient history. The oldest of the 3 burial chambers here is 5500 years old. They may be small, but they are very old; older than Stonehenge or the Pyramids! Learn about Anglesey's long and unique history, learning how the island got its name.
South Stack Cliffs RSPB Reserve

40 min

Stand on top of the stunning cliffs, looking down at the lighthouse far below. Birdwatchers will see a range of seabirds; we can provide the binoculars!

Note; some cruises depart at 5pm and we always ensure that you are back at the port an hour early, so this part of the trip will have to be missed if your ship is one that departs early. The owners of the lighthouse usually offer morning tours there, we would recommend that you do this as well if your ship departs at 5pm. Unfortunately, there is not time to go down the 400+ steps to the lighthouse, but the views are best from the top and it saves your knees the hard work!

Meeting point and pickup

Everyone meets at the meeting point.

Meeting point

Take the shuttle bus from your ship to the port terminal. I will meet you as you get off the bus. Some ships dock at the deep water anchor and offer a tender to the landing Jetty at Holyhead Yacht Club. If so, I will meet you there. Look out for the Tudno Tours logo!

End point

Take the shuttle bus from your ship to the port terminal. I will meet you as you get off the bus. Some ships dock at the deep water anchor and offer a tender to the landing Jetty at Holyhead Yacht Club. If so, I will meet you there. Look out for the Tudno Tours logo!

Using your ticket

I will meet you off the shuttle bus. I will be in a green cap. Look out for the Tudno Tours logo. As long as you know your lead traveller's name, don't worry if you can't download your ticket! Tour will leave at 1.00 sharp, so better to aim to be there for 12.45, just in case.
