Anglesey & North Wales Day Trip for FMNH

A day trip to Anglesey and North Wales organised by FMNH with the help of Manx2.com was a complete sell out. The special excursion on Thursday 19th April came about after FMNH and Cadw - the Welsh Government's historic environment service - signed a reciprocal agreement at the end of 2011.

A private charter flight, ornganised by Manx2.com, left the Isle of Man first thing in the morning.  After arriving at RAF Valley airport, the party visited some of Anglesey and North Wales's most popular sites, including Beaumaris Castle, Conwy Castle and the amazingly preserved Elizabethan town house of Plas Mawr.  David Wagstaff, our Blue Badge Guide, accompanied us throughout the day and was extremely knowledgeable and interesting.

The day ended with a brief stop at Llanfair PG (Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwillantysilliogogogoch) before returning to RAF Valley for the quick flight back to the Isle of Man
