Itinerary of your trip Welsh Wanderer - 5 Days

  • Day 1 Day 1: London To Aberystwyth
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 1: London To Aberystwyth

      London - Hay-on-Wye - Aberystwyth. Departing central London this morning, we drive away from the city and into the Cotswolds area of outstanding natural beauty. Pass through charming English postcard villages, stopping for photos and whenever we come across a site of interest. Crossing into Wales, we stop first at Hay-on-Wye, nestled just outside the Brecon Beacons and known as the โ€™town of booksโ€™ thanks to its large number of bookshops. Driving into the Elan Valley and the Cambrian Mountains we can enjoy the scenery before reaching the seaside town of Aberystwyth, home for the next two nights. Please note: Check-in closes at 09:00 on day 1 (tour departs at 09:15) - Stance 3, Greenline Coach Terminal London, Bulleid Way, Victoria, London, SW1W 9SH.

      Day 2: Snowdonia & Harlech Castle

      Taking a day trip from Aberystwyth, we head into the mountains of Snowdonia National Park, and stop in the village of Beddgelert. Here lies the grave of Gelert, the legendary dog, slain by Llywelyn the Great. This medieval Welsh ruler believed Gelert had devoured his baby and so killed him, when in fact Gelert had been protecting the infant from a wolf. Llywelyn never smiled again, or so the story goes. Our next stop is Harlech Castle. Built by King Edward I during his conquest of Wales around 800 years ago, this fortress overlooks both the mountains of Snowdonia and the ocean. Returning to Aberystwyth, the rest of today is at leisure. Accommodation: Bodalwyn, GwesTY Guest House, The Glengower or similar

This whitewashed town is on the beach, and thereโ€™s time to wander on foot - keep your eyes peeled for whales off the coast! Heading inland, we visit Dinefwr Estate (or Carreg Cennen Castle if it is closed) and the ruined castle located here before making a short stop in Laugharne where famous Welsh poet and playwright Dylan Thompson lived and wrote his iconic work โ€™Under Milk Woodโ€™.
