The cost of this tour includes entry to all the locations visited. We will have an hour or more at each attraction with travelling time making up the rest of the nine hours. Our lunch location will be Tintern.

Caerleon Roman Amphitheatre is our first stop. A fine example of a spot once used for combat and games and perhaps even is the fabled round table from the King Arthur legend.

Chepstow Castle is magnificent. Once inside its walls, you'll feel yourself taken back in time and perhaps imagine being a Lord or Lady from times past.

Tintern Abbey is glorious! Its ruins are testament to a troubled past but now, in the Wye Valley, it is quiet and contemplation that is most often experienced.

Caerphilly Castle is quite remarkable! It has a leaning tower, just like Pisa. A rather fine example of a moated castle with much of its towers and walls intact.

Castell Coch is our final destination and it's a beauty. Renovated by the Victorians, it is gorgeous both inside and out.
