ride along the lake shore. This afternoon we take a<br />
‘Majestic Mountain Adventure’ and have a ride on<br />
the Snowdon Mountain Railway. This world famous<br />
little train takes you on a breath taking ride to the<br />

mountain in England and Wales.<br />
DAY 4: We begin with a ride along the coast road<br />
past Conwy, with its mighty castle, to Llandudno.<br />
