ITINERARY

Day 1

An early start from London and we head north through a rough and dramatic landscape of renowned Welsh valleys, 4 separate mountain ranges and straight into the heart of Wales. Enjoy a guided triple-waterfall hike through the Brecon Beacons National Park and sleep in Europe's youngest capital city. Choose to drink in the cosmopolitan spirit of Wales' dynamic waterfront and notable night life or absorb a more cultural experience at Cardiff Castle, Millennium Stadium, or the National Museum.

Trekking Distance: 8-10 Miles

London Pick-Up (Ealing Station) - 8:00am

Day 2

Today, we begin an early morning conquering of Pen Y Fan: the highest peak in South Wales. Celebrations end (or begin depending on your preference) with a tasting finale in the only distillery in Wales to legally distil a whisky spirit for over 100 years. With muscles and taste buds satisfied we head to your coastal accommodation for a night of enjoyment in Wales' second largest city. Inspired by the city's coastal energy, enjoy your last night as you see fit — either wildly celebrating your success with the locals, or in a quiet or cozy countryside pub.

Day 3

Care for some salt with those eggs? Rise and shine with breakfast before our final morning peninsula hike. Known for its awe-inspiring coastline, caves, and Blue Flag beaches, the landscape here is wonderful and varied boasting some of Wales' richest wildlife; a dramatic feast for the eyes. For lunch, enjoy some highly deserved award winning fish and chips. Feeling daring? Try a Welsh delicacy: Laver Bread or Cockles perhaps? With full bellies and happy hearts we grudgingly return to our former lives, with a head full of real adventure and real memories as we bid a fond farewell to Wales.
