Experience Overview:

From Cardiff: 3 Amazing Castles, Tintern Abbey & Roman Caerleon

Attraction entry included!
Luxury fully electric vehicle with a maximum of 7 passengers.

Your guide, Andy, is a Mountain Leader and a Green Badge Tourist Guide.

Caerleon Roman Amphitheatre is a fine example of a spot once used for combat and games and perhaps is the fabled round table of King Arthur legend. We visit two museums in Caerleon, the National Legionary Museum and the Roman Baths.

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 a 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 fine example of a moated castle with 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.
