From Cardiff: Three Castles, Welsh Mountains & More Day Tour

Embark on an unforgettable journey through Welsh history and natural beauty with our Three Castles and Welsh Mountains tour, a must for history lovers and nature enthusiasts alike.

Starting in the vibrant city of Cardiff, you'll catch a drive-by glimpse of the imposing Cardiff Castle, home to the Romans during their occupation of Wales and an iconic symbol of the city’s medieval past.

We then whisk you away to the Castell Coch, a 19th-century marvel designed by the renowned architect William Burges. Nestled in the wooded hills, this gothic revival masterpiece is known as the 'fairy-tale' castle thanks to its tapered turrets and conical rooves.

Next, we head to the awe-inspiring Caerphilly Castle, a 13th century fortress, and the largest castle in Wales - aptly surrounded by beautiful lake water defences and boasting dramatic towers. Take your time exploring its rich history, including the famous leaning tower that rivals Pisa! Enjoy some free time and a relaxing lunch break in the town of Caerphilly, whilst admiring the views of one of Wales’ most impressive medieval structures.

After lunch, the journey continues through the breathtaking landscapes of the Brecon Beacons National Park. Marvel at the sweeping views of rugged mountains, rolling hills, and vast open spaces, home to wildlife and ancient legends. This area is known for its outstanding natural beauty and is one of Wales' best-loved national parks.

Finally, we arrive in the charming market town of Brecon. Here, you can choose to take a leisurely walk along the tranquil canal side which has often been voted Britain's prettiest canal, or pay a visit to the historic Brecon Cathedral, a peaceful sanctuary that dates back over 900 years.

With a mix of history, architecture, and natural wonders, this tour offers a perfect snapshot of Wales’ finest treasures.
