Welcome To The Three Castles Welsh Classic Trial
The Three Castles Welsh Classic Trial is a three day classic car event in the grand tradition that's actually three events in one - Concours, Regularity Rally, Driving Tests. Returning each night to Llandudno, it runs through the ancient landscapes of Anglesey, Gwynedd and Clwyd in North West Wales on the first weekend of summer (!) In 2010 it ran from 3rd - 5th June, preceded by the popular Prologue - a tour and advice day, free to all competitors, on 2nd June.
In its eighth year and Britain's most popular classic car adventure, the "Three Castles" gave entrants the excitement of longer, far more expensive events in a unique three-day (four night) format based in a single centre, keeping the same comfortable hotel room throughout. It’s a real occasion - a sell-out success since its inception, attracting well over a hundred entries each year.
In 2010 we again enjoyed the enthusiastic support of our many friends in Wales. The Three Castles Welsh Classic Trial is affordable and enjoyable in any classic car - ideal for first timers and social rallyists. The competition is fun, but never too hard. No rough roads. No night sections. Touring is mixed with road regularity sections that test teamwork and accuracy. Varied driving tests at interesting private venues, including Glan y Gors kart circuit, two of the UK’s longest hillclimbs and several fine stately home drives, let the drivers shine in safety. A great route from Clerk of the Course, Ken Owen, unveiled around 500 miles of great scenic beauty, with barely a town in sight. In 2010 we took you east around the gentle landscape of the Clwydian Hills to surprising Ruthin, west to the long sea views of the Lleyn Peninsula, south over Snowdonia's high mountain passes to two fine country house hotels and the wild heart of Wales.
Come join us in 2011. You’ll enjoy every minute.
