Location: London

Accommodation Name: The Richmond Hotel, Park Lodge Hotel or similar

London - Hay-on-Wye - Aberystwyth. Departing central London this morning, we drive away from the city and into the Cotswolds area of outstanding natural beauty. Pass through charming English postcard villages, stopping for photos and whenever we come across a site of interest.

Crossing into Wales, we stop first at Hay-on-Wye, nestled just outside the Brecon Beacons and known as the 'town of books' thanks to its large number of bookshops. Driving into the Elan Valley and the Cambrian Mountains we can enjoy the scenery before reaching the seaside town of Aberystwyth, home for the next two nights.

Day 2: Aberystwyth

Location: Snowdonia National Park

Accommodation Name: The Richmond Hotel, Park Lodge Hotel or similar

Meals Included: Breakfast

Taking a day trip from Aberystwyth, we head into the mountains of Snowdonia National Park, and stop in the village of Beddgelert. Here lies the grave of Gelert, the legendary dog, slain by Llywelyn the Great. This medieval Welsh ruler believed Gelert had devoured his baby and so killed him, when in fact Gelert had been protecting the infant from a wolf. Llywelyn never smiled again, or so the story goes.

Our next stop is Harlech Castle. Built by King Edward I during his conquest of Wales around 800 years ago, this fortress overlooks both the mountains of Snowdonia and the ocean. Returning to Aberystwyth, the rest of today is at leisure.

Heading inland, we visit Dinefwr Estate (or Carreg Cennen Castle if it is closed) and the ruined castle located here before making a short stop in Laugharne where famous Welsh poet and playwright Dylan Thompson lived and wrote his iconic work 'Under Milk Wood'. We then complete our drive to the seaside town of Tenby, where we spend the night.

Hi thank you very much Had a very nice time and as i was with my mother it was very relaxing with enough time to see and take pictures The guide Kate is very nice and gave lots of explanations and tips on the way. The group also was very cooperative in respecting the time which makes it very good to travel on expected time.

We were delighted with our tour. Everything went smoothly from the reservation to the whole tour. The whole package met our expectations and we greatly appreciated our guide Russ who took good care of us and his knowledge (very interesting). Breakfast in two of the hotels was a bit disappointing.
