Why you’ll love this…
  • Sustainable, micro-group travel in a 7-seater electric vehicle
  • The serene Horseshoe Falls and the picturesque town of Llangollen

What to expect

Trade the city for the wild trails of North Wales on a small-group, active adventure. Travelling sustainably in a premium 100% electric vehicle, you'll hike scenic summits, walk across historic aqueducts, and uncover a "lost" medieval castle hidden deep in the forest.

Break away from traditional minibus sightseeing and get your boots on the ground. This active day trip from Manchester is tailor-made for travellers who want to experience the Welsh wilderness firsthand.

Start the morning with a walk along the "Stream in the Sky" at the iconic Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, taking in panoramic river views. Next, visit the beautiful Horseshoe Falls and enjoy free time to grab lunch in the mountain town of Llangollen.

After driving through the dramatic Horseshoe Pass, stretch your legs on a rewarding 5km hike up Moel Famau for sweeping views of Snowdonia and the English coast. Conclude the journey by tracking a forest trail to find Ewloe Castle, an atmospheric, 12th-century native stronghold tucked completely out of sight from the usual tourist paths.
