A self-guided walking holiday from Chester to Bangor along the Wales Coast Path.
From £545 per person
The first stage of the full Wales Coast Path, the North Wales Coast Path is an approachable section that winds from Chester to Bangor through a plethora of seaside towns and over golden beaches.
This holiday option explores the trail across 78 miles of fantastic coastal scenery, including world-famous sand dunes, impressive clifftops and sheltered coves, with plenty of opportunities to spot wildlife and historic landmarks along the way.
By default, this holiday follows the North Wales Coast Path in its entirety, including the dense industrial area at the start of the trail. We include this less-beautiful stage mostly for the completionists striving to walk the full Wales Coast Path; if you’d like to omit this section from your holiday and jump straight to the stunning coastline, please get in touch and we can provide tailored options.
Passing through four counties as you wind your way around the coastline of North Wales.
Wandering through the famous dunes of Talacre and spotting the various creatures that make their home there.
Admiring the abundant birdlife in the salt marshes and dunes of the Dee Estuary.
