Cardiff Coastal Cliffs and Castle Adventure

Escape Cardiff city with a day tour to explore the stunning cliffs, beaches, castles, and local history of the surrounding areas.
Begin your day at Castell Coch, a fairy-tale castle nestled in the woods. Take your time exploring this beautifully preserved building.

Next, enjoy a stroll through St Fagans National Museum of History, one of Europe's leading open-air museums and Wales's most popular heritage attraction.

Then, take a look at the ruins of Ogmore Castle. The site is particularly noted for its picturesque location next to the river, where stepping stones allow visitors to cross when the water is low.

Spend some time at Dunraven Bay, a popular destination known for its impressive limestone cliffs and rock pools.

Marvel at the cliffs of Nash Point, part of the Wales Coast Path. Take a closer look at Nash Point Lighthouse.

Throughout January, we will stop at Caerphilly Castle instead of Castell Coch, as Castell Coch is closed during this time of year.
