Wales: Land and Legend

Venture to enchanting Wales for a delightful seven-night discovery of the country’s Celtic heritage, melodic language and warm hospitality. Enjoy first-class accommodations and set out each day with your small group to explore. Marvel at the dramatic, medieval glory of Conwy Castle and the formidable 13th-century Caernarfon Castle. Behold the enchanting Bodnant Garden and its famous Laburnum Arch. Meander around the charming mountain village of Betws-y-Coed and stroll the promenade in Victorian seaside Llandudno. Visit a former slate quarry and museum to witness a live slate-splitting demonstration and be awed by Snowdonia National Park’s rugged natural grandeur. Tour South Wales to uncover Hay-on-Wye’s eclectic literary haven and the monastic ruins of Llanthony Priory, nestled in the Vale of Ewyas. Along the way, immerse yourself in authentic Welsh culture during a lively, interactive music performance, a visit to a family-owned farm shop and a tour and whiskey tasting at the renowned Penderyn Distillery. This program features a professional Travel Director, expert lecturers and guides and a generous meal plan with wine at dinner.
