Scenic South Wales (Hotel)

Bristol - St David's - Tenby. Departing Bristol this morning, we make for South Wales, stopping first in St David's. This is the smallest city in Britain, awarded this status thanks to its 12th century cathedral in the heart of the town. We have time for a wander, so you can go and have a look for yourself.

This afternoon we embark on a scenic drive along the Pembrokeshire coast. Our itinerary is flexible, and the guide will see what you fancy doing on the day. We can see ancient woodlands, biodiverse estuaries and lush valleys before arriving in Tenby, our base for tonight.

Accommodation: Atlantic Hotel or similar.

Our first visit of the day is Laugharne, where famous Welsh poet Dylan Thomas lived in a boathouse from 1949 until his death in 1953. The house is open to the public if you would like to visit. Alternatively, there are plenty of traditional pubs to try. From Laugharne, we move on to Carreg Cennen Castle, which sits on a rocky outcrop overlooking the River Cennen. We explore the ruins before making the picturesque journey through the mountains of Bannau Brycheiniog National Park to Abergavenny.

The final day of our tour begins with a stop in Hay-on-Wye, best known for its plethora of second-hand and antiquarian bookshops. There's free time to take a wander before we move on to Ross-on-Wye, a much-loved market town filed with quaint shops and pubs.

After free time for lunch, we drive through the scenic Wye Valley, birthplace of the Industrial Revolution. We make a stop at Tintern Abbey to see the now roofless building which dates to the 12th century and sits on the banks of the River Wye.

Our final stop is Chepstow. Here we can see the remains of the town's Norman castle before we complete our journey back to Bristol.
