Mountains of Wales tour with Caerphilly Castle and St Fagans Museum

-What you can expect-
Say farewell to Bristol's urban hustle and bustle as you traverse the iconic Severn Bridge, venturing into the mystical land of Wales. Immerse yourself in a journey through time at Caerphilly Castle, the largest fortress in Wales. As you cross its moat and explore the mighty walls and ramparts, let your imagination wander through the grand halls, listening to the ancient echoes and keeping an eye out for the ghostly apparition of the Green Lady.

The adventure continues at St Fagans National Museum of History, an open-air museum showcasing Welsh culture and architecture. Here, historic buildings have been relocated and reconstructed, offering a glimpse into life across different eras. Wander around traditional cottages, workshops, and visit the St Fagans Castle and Gardens, a striking Tudor manor brimming with intriguing interiors.

Next, experience the landscapes of Brecon Beacons National Park (Bannau Brycheiniog), followed by a pause in the market town of Brecon. Known for its Georgian architecture and scenic views, it offers an opportunity for a leisurely walk or a relaxing café break. The journey then progresses through the national park, amidst awe-inspiring mountain vistas and rolling hills, leading to the serene Wye Valley. At the heart of this valley lies Tintern, a peaceful village renowned for Tintern Abbey. Absorb the view of these romantic ruins, once an inspiration for poems by William Wordsworth and Alfred Lord Tennyson, as well as paintings by JMW Turner.
