Hawarden Estate Farm Shop
Cross the border and make your first pitstop at this exceptionally curated estate farm shop. Grab a flat white and a warm cardamom bun from the bakery, and stock up on road trip snacks from their brilliant deli counter.
Llyn Ogwen
Drive deep into the Ogwen Valley, where the road cuts through moody, dramatic peaks that feel a world away from the city. Park up by the lake to stretch your legs, breathe in the crisp mountain air, and watch the mist roll over the Glyderau range.
Dylan's Menai Bridge
Housed in a striking, light-filled building right on the water's edge, this is the place for lunch. Order a bowl of local Menai mussels steamed in Welsh cider and cream, and watch the tide navigate the swirling straits below.
The Bull, Beaumaris
Wander through the pastel-hued Georgian streets of Beaumaris, stopping to browse local independent shops before ducking into this stylishly updated 15th-century coaching inn. Secure a spot in their chic courtyard for a craft cider or a locally distilled gin before the easy cruise back to Liverpool.
