Castles and Mountains of Wales Small Group Day Tour from Bristol

It’s time to journey into the past as you cross the moat to explore the mighty walls and ramparts of Caerphilly Castle - the largest fortress in Wales. Wander through the grand halls, listen to the ancient echoes and be on the lookout for the ghost of the Green Lady!

Step back in time at the unique St Fagans National Museum of History. This open-air museum of Welsh culture and architecture features historic buildings relocated and reconstructed to showcase life through the centuries. Explore traditional cottages, workshops, and visit St Fagans Castle and Gardens, a stunning Tudor manor with fascinating interiors.

Next, discover the dramatic landscapes of Brecon Beacons National Park( Bannau Brycheiniog). With windswept mountains, vast moorlands, and legends of giants, this place will stir your imagination.

Then, we stop in the charming market town of Brecon, known for its Georgian architecture and scenic views where you can enjoy a walk or relax in a café, before continuing your journey.

Nestled in the heart of the valley lies the tranquil village of Tintern, famously home to Tintern Abbey. Take in the view of the romantic ruins of this Cistercian monastery, which inspired poems by William Wordsworth and Alfred Lord Tennyson, as well as paintings by JMW Turner.
