Take the short and scenic drive to Portmeirion and spend your morning marvelling over the Italianate beauty, perhaps pausing to peer in at the latest artist-in-residence. Enjoy a delicious cream tea here before heading over to the nearby Welsh Highland Railway and resting your legs as you embark on a 3 hour steam-train voyage through the national park.

Reward your trail walking efforts at the finish line with a hearty helping of fish & chips.
