MONDAY Outward journey with a suitable stop en route.

TUESDAY A morning’s scenic tour of the Elan Valley, including a visit to the Elan Valley Visitor Centre. Set in a fantastic location against a spectacular backdrop of a stone dam, Elan is a haven of wildlife and nature nestled within the Cambrian Mountains.  We enjoy a guided panoramic tour of this stunning and unspoilt area, complete with dams and reservoirs.  We then return to Llandrindod Wells for an afternoon of exploration of this delightful Victorian spa town.

WEDNESDAY Enjoy a scenic drive to Aberystwyth, the principal holiday resort on the west coast of Wales. Nestling between three hills and two beaches, the town boasts a wide promenade from where on a clear day, you may see Mount Snowdon. After time at leisure, we join the Vale of Rheidol Steam Train, one of the Great Little Trains of Wales. We enjoy a scenic journey to Devil’s Bridge, where we re-join the coach and return to our hotel.

THURSDAY A morning cruise along the Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal. Enjoy the peace of this historic waterway, cruising through some of the most beautiful scenery in Britain lying within the Brecon Beacons National Park. We rejoin the coach and continue to Brecon, with its medieval cathedral and narrow streets brimming with craft and antique shops, for some free time to explore.

FRIDAY We commence our homeward journey, making suitable stops en route.
