Cardiff: Welsh Castles, Mountains & Steam Railway Day Tour
Duration
8 Hour
Step into the heart of Wales on our Welsh Castles, Mountains and Steam Railway day tour — a carefully curated journey through Wales’ most striking landscapes and historic landmarks. This tour travels from Cardiff into South and Mid Wales, passing by the iconic Cardiff Castle before visiting Caerphilly Castle - one of the largest and best-preserved medieval fortresses in Europe. From here, the journey continues into open countryside, with a nostalgic steam train ride on the Brecon Mountain Railway winding through the stunning scenery of Bannau Brycheiniog National Park, before visiting Talybont Reservoir. Enjoy free time in the quaint market town of Brecon, beautifully set on the River Usk. Take a peaceful walk along the canal, visit the atmospheric cathedral, or relax over lunch in one of the town’s cafés. You'll also get to see more of Wales' amazing scenery, and learn more about the landscape, wildlife and history of Bannau Brycheiniog at the National Park Visitor Centre.
