Coach Breaks & Holidays to Wales

Tenby is probably the most iconic seaside town in Wales, rivalling places like Mevagissey and Polperro for quaintness and charm. This pretty seaside town has three great beaches; north, south and castle, each with its own character and all facing in different directions so at least one should be sheltered if it happens to be windy!

Subject to traffic and travel, we depart Tenby at approximately 17:00 to start our homeward journey back to South Wales.

We journey through the Brecon Beacons, with its picture perfect reservoirs, to Brecon, a beautiful cathedral town with views of the majestic mountains all around. We have some free time to explore the local shops and attractions as well as enjoying a cruise on the Monmouth and Brecon Canal.

We rejoin the coach at 17:00 to make our way back to South Wales.

The Snowdonia Mountains and Coast covers an amazing area of North Wales that is hard to beat at any time of the year for stunning scenery, beautiful beaches and historic towns.

From here we will take a jaw dropping railway journey to the summit of Snowdon on the Snowdon Mountain Railway.

Apart from enjoying free time in Llanberis, don't miss your included excursions to see the very best of North Wales with visits to the iconic seaside resort of Llandudno, traditional Porthmadog and the world famous Italianate village of Portmeirion (home to the cult TV show The Prisoner for those who can remember it!).

Take a trip back in time and explore the Welsh countryside with a journey on Gwili Railway, one of the UK’s most picturesque preserved lines. Set in beautiful countryside with abundant wildlife, the line follows the River Gwili on a steady uphill journey through farmland and wooded hillsides.

Beyond the locomotives, history and scenery, the railway’s appeal lies in the friendliness and enthusiasm of the volunteers who maintain the railway and operate the services. They’re justly proud of the part they play in recreating the golden age of steam and their love of the railway is infectious -they’ll be happy to regale you with information and stories about Gwili and its historic locomotives.

We also spend some time in the oldest town in Wales, Carmarthen. Situated on the River Towy, this county market town is packed with history and reputedly the birthplace of Merlin. For food and shops, try St Catherine's Walk or the indoor market.

We rejoin the coach around 16:30 to make our way back to South Wales.
