Cardiff Castle, Cardiff, United Kingdom We drive around the capital’s castle, located in the city centre. Cardiff castle was of great strategic importance as the home to the powerful Romans during their occupation of Wales. Its rich history is reflected in its construction, which combines building work across many centuries from Gothic to Norman and Roman architecture.
Castell Coch, Tongwynlais, United Kingdom Castell Coch (Red Castle) is also known as the ‘fairytale castle’ thanks to its tapered turrets and conical rooves. Although actually built in the 1870s, this charming castle is medieval in style and was built as a country retreat for the third Marquess of Bute, one of Britain’s richest men. 30 minutes
Caerphilly Castle, Caerphilly, United Kingdom Caerphilly castle is Wales’ largest and Britain’s second largest castle behind Windsor. This formidable fortress boasts an extensive ring of water defences and huge gatehouses and was built mainly in the 13th century. After exploring this magnificent castle from the inside out (an admission charge is payable), there is time for refreshments in town of Caerphilly before the sightseeing tour continues. 120 minutes
Brecon Beacons National Park, United Kingdom One of Wales’ 3 National Parks, Brecon Beacons has some stunning scenery which you can enjoy as we drive through the rolling hills to the northern part of the Brecon Beacons. 60 minutes
Brecon, Brecon, United Kingdom The picturesque market town of Brecon is steeped in history and dates from Norman times. Here, you can spend time visiting the 12th century cathedral or walking through the narrow streets and browsing the eclectic range of shops. Brecon also marks the start of the Monmouthshire & Brecon canal, so a peaceful walk alongside this beautiful canal is also an option. 120 minutes

Had a fantastic day out with Jim - he was very knowledgeable and fun to talk to about local customs and Wales today. The allotted times per stop (we did Castell Coch, Caerphilly, and Brecon Beacon visitor center public field) were well planned and sufficient to explore. Beautiful drive and really magical sights. Highly recommend and will definitely consider these guys for a future tour of Wales!
