Your story begins...

Wales is a land of legends and surprises. But what shouldn't surprise you is the warm welcome from the locals, the incredible landscapes and that every corner of this beautiful country is packed with history. On this tour, you will delve into the stories behind some of the most incredible castles in Europe, the mythical dragons that became national symbols and then delight at coastal fishing villages in the evenings as you swap tales and theories into the night.

Morning

Journey to the Cotswolds

We leave London and travel west to the rolling hills of the Cotswolds, a region of timeless beauty, where rolling hills, picturesque, historic villages, and honey-colored stone cottages create a tranquil escape from the everyday.

Mid Morning

Burford

First, we'll visit Burford, the ‘Gateway to the Cotswolds'. This charming town feels like stepping into a storybook. With its narrow, cobbled streets lined with honey-hued stone buildings, it's a place where time seems to slow down.

Afternoon

Hay-on-Wye and journey through Wales

Next, we venture into Wales, a land of ancient language, over 600 castles, and stunning natural beauty. But there's so much more to uncover, let the adventure begin! Our first stop is Hay-on-Wye, the world's original “Booktown,” famed for its secondhand and antiquarian bookshops. This charming town invites book lovers to uncover hidden literary treasures. Use your free time to browse, and who knows? You might leave with a new addition to your travel library. Then, it's on to the serene Elan Valley, where tranquil reservoirs, rivers, and lush woodlands create a breathtaking escape. Sit back, relax, and soak in the magic of Wales.

Early Evening

Free evening in Aberystwyth

As your journey continues, the road climbs into the rugged splendor of the Cambrian Mountains, revealing dramatic views of rolling hills, towering peaks, and expansive moorlands. The scenery shifts as we descend toward the coast, arriving in Aberystwyth, a charming seaside town and cultural hub where you'll spend the next two nights. Your evening is free to explore as you wish—stroll along the iconic Victorian pier and savor breathtaking sunset views or discover a cosy restaurant to sample delicious Welsh specialties.
