Portmeirion to Blaenau Ffestiniog

Pod Of Wales

Thursday, 6 April 2023 - 39 minutes

Kiri and Esyllt visit the Italianate village of Portmeirion, ride a steam train from Porthmadog to Blaenau Ffestiniog, and take on the zip wires at Zip World Llechwedd.

Join them on a tour of Portmeirion village, and drool as they sample the nine-course tasting menu in the Restaurant at the Hotel Portmeirion, à la head chef Mark Threadgill (who just smashed the finals of Great British Menu representing Wales). Next, hop on board the Mountain Spirit steam train as Kiri and Esyllt take a picturesque journey along the Ffestiniog & Welsh Highland Railway. In Blaenau Ffestiniog, strap in as they're hurled across the UNESCO World Heritage site slate landscape on Zip World's Titan zip wire, before a cosy night at Llechwedd Glamping.
