Cardiff: South Wales Cliffs, Beaches & Castles Day Tour

Experience our tours with a maximum of 8 passengers per group. Escape the hustle and bustle of Cardiff city with a day tour to explore the stunning cliffs, beaches, castles, and local history of the surrounding areas. Marvel at the cliffs of Nash Point, part of the Wales Coast Path, which offers spectacular walking routes with breath-taking views of the Bristol Channel. Nash Point is a haven for birdwatchers, with various seabirds nesting in the cliffs. Take a closer look at Nash Point Lighthouse, an iconic 19th-century structure built to warn ships of the perilous coastline. Afterward, spend some time at Dunraven Bay, a popular destination known for its impressive limestone cliffs and rock pools. The beach is a favourite among photographers, offering scenic views and breathtaking sunsets. It's also an excellent spot for fossil hunting, with fossils dating back to the Jurassic period. Then, take a look at the ruins of Ogmore Castle, featuring parts of the stone keep, a curtain wall, and a gatehouse. The site is particularly noted for its picturesque location next to the river, where stepping stones allow visitors to cross when the water is low. Next, enjoy a stroll through St. Fagans National Museum of History, one of Europe's leading open-air museums and Wales's most popular heritage attraction. The museum offers a glimpse into Welsh life through history with over 40 re-erected buildings, including farmhouses, a school, a chapel, and workshops. The final stop will be in Caerphilly town to marvel at Caerphilly Castle—a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the largest castle in Wales, second only in size to Windsor Castle in all of Great Britain. Entrance is optional; you can also spend your free time exploring the charming town, which is filled with cafes, quaint shops, and souvenir spots. Finally, sit back and enjoy the ride back to Cardiff to the designated meeting point, concluding a day filled with exploration and discovery.

Our tour guide, Max, was amazing! Very knowledgeable and personable. For having 200 rainy days of the year, and I am sure tons of muddy feet in the van, the vehicle was spotless! Max supplied very nice ponchos for us as it got a little wet, and the car had a bottle of water for each of us. We absolutely loved the stops, the little hike, the cliffs, and the castles. Such a nice day! Well worth the time and money!

Very great guide and views. Some flies and poos made the hiking excel in favor.
