From Bristol: Mountains & Castles of Wales Day Tour

Discover the beauty of Wales on a small group day trip from Bristol. Explore Caerphilly Castle, visit St Fagans National Museum of History, and enjoy the scenery of Brecon Beacons National Park.
Say goodbye to the urban bustle of Bristol and cross the iconic Severn Bridge to a magical place: Wales. This captivating country is famed for its legendary castles, rugged mountains, scenic shores, and its melodic, consonant-rich language - the oldest living tongue in Great Britain.

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.

Leave the fortress with a head full of stories of warriors, kings, and restless spirits and head to the next stop: St Fagan’s National Museum of History. Step back in time at this open-air museum of Welsh culture and architecture featuring 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. 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.

Continue your journey through the national park, surrounded by breathtaking mountain views and rolling hills, as you make your way to the picturesque Wye Valley. 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.

Then it’s time to relax and bid hwyl fawr to Cymru, returning to Bristol with your heart full of memories of breathtaking landscapes, ancient legends, and unforgettable moments.
