Summary
Make your escape with an off-season Welsh vacation to discover the beauty and history of The Land of Castles on this Globus Escapes tour of Wales. Begin with a stay in London before departing for the green landscapes of England’s countryside, visiting Stonehenge and Bath en route to Wales.
Spend two nights in Cardiff, with plenty to see around Welsh capital city, including fascinating St. Fagans National Museum of History and fairytale Cardiff Castle. On the way to North Wales, drive through beautiful Brecon Beacons National Park and stop in the pretty towns of Brecon and Builth Wells. Meet locals who have a strong culture and heritage and still speak a Celtic language natively. Enjoy time in Llangollen where you might wish to take a stroll along the Victoria Promenade. Overnight in Wrexham, whose football club was bought by two Hollywood stars and was featured in the award-winning TV series, 'Welcome to Wrexham'.
You’ll travel through Snowdonia National Park via Betws-y-Coed and on to Caernarfon, famous for its enormous medieval castle and have some time to spend in its vibrant shops, cafés, and traditional pubs. En route to England’s Manchester, stop in Chester and take photos of its 16th-century Tudor buildings traditionally constructed from oak with the timbers stained with black tar. Spend the last night of your escorted tour in Manchester to gather with your traveling companions and raise a glass to this Welsh adventure.
Your Globus Escapes tour through the beauty and history of Wales is made even better without the crowds and costs of the high season!
