ITINERARY
Excursions Included:
This morning, we begin with a drive to the Elan Valley and the Dams Visitor Centre for a short break. We return to Llandrindod Wells in time to obtain lunch in the town before our afternoon outing. Later, we visit the National Cycle Museum in Llandrindod Wells and journey through the lanes of cycle history. See bicycles from 1818, such as the Hobby Horse, Boneshakers and Penny Farthings, up to the most modern carbon fibre machines of today. Dinner in hotel.
An early start as we have a full-day excursion to Aberystwyth and the Vale of Rheidol Railway. We catch the morning train along the former Great Western line to Devil’s Bridge. This was the last route to operate steam trains for British Rail before private ownership in 1989. A short walk from the terminus brings you to the spectacular Mynach Falls. We take a break at Devil’s Bridge and have time for refreshments (at own cost) before we catch the return train to Aberystwyth. Dinner in hotel.
Journey through the beautiful and diverse scenery of the Brecon Beacons National Park, with free time to explore medieval Brecon and a relaxing cruise on the historical Monmouthshire & Brecon Canal. Dinner in hotel.
