Why groups love North Wales
A fantastic base for groups trips and school residentials, North Wales is home to adventure, whether you want to climb mountains, walk around ancient castles or soak up the vibrant culture.
North Wales provides the perfect backdrop for school groups. One of Wales’ greatest selling points is its fantastic geography. Geographically, there really is everything that you could wish for. For classes looking to delve underground, the Slate Caverns provide deep mine tours where students can discover life and the environment beneath the surface.
