Itinerary
Elan Valley
Elan Valley & Cycle Museum - Escape to Elan Valley with a visit to this beautiful location and its Visitor's Centre. Part of the rugged Cambrian Mountains, Elan is an unspoilt area made even more compelling by the dams and reservoirs which together create a wonderful, living landscape. The views are stunning, and you are never far away from points of interest. Later on, we include entry to the interesting National Cycle Museum in Llandrindrod Wells. Here you can journey through the lanes of cycle history and see bicycles from 1818, such as the Hobby Horse, Boneshakers and Penny Farthings, up to the most modern Carbon Fibre machines of today.
Aberystwyth&Railway
Aberystwyth & Railway - In the morning, we have some free time to shop and explore in the Victorian seaside resort of Aberystwyth. This popular town is home to a lovely Promenade, a funicular railway, castle ruins and the National Library of Wales. Then it's onto the Vale of Rheidol Railway narrow gauge steam railway for an unforgettable journey through some wonderful scenery from Aberystwyth to Devil's Bridge.
Brecon Beacons
Brecon Beacons & Cruise - We journey through the beautiful and diverse scenery of the Brecon Beacons National Park, with free time to explore medieval Brecon and a relaxing cruise on the historic Monmouthshire & Brecon Canal.
