Escorted guided tour and live commentary en route . . .

First stop is Blaenavon, a town which played a vital part in the Industrial Revolution which transformed the landscape, culture and society of Wales. Situated at the head of the Afon Valley on the slopes of the Coity and Blorenge mountains is Big Pit, (Pwll Mawr) the National Mining Museum of Wales. A real colliery where for over 200 years was once the workplace for hundreds of men, women and children. Discover what life was like on an underground guided tour led by real miners.

We cross the River Usk by an ancient and narrow arched bridge to Crickhowell, a picturesque market town, built on the edge of a hill looking towards the Sugar Loaf Mountain and Table Mountain. Above the town on the hillside is Crug Hwyel, where the first settlement was made over 2000 years ago, and where the name Crickhowell comes from. The town has small independent shops, bustling atmosphere, one of the richest areas in Wales for 17th-century architecture and used as a film set for historical dramas. Lunch stop in Crickhowell.

After lunch we travel further north to a location which offers two medieval buildings: the ruins of the four-storey 12th Tretower Castle and the 14th Tretower Court, a manor house with recreated medieval gardens and orchard. Cadw, the Welsh Governments heritage authority, has recently undertaken major restoration of the opulent interiors of the 15th and 17th century. (Tretower will close week days from November until end of March. During this closure we extend our tour in the Brecon Beacons National Park.)

Brecon Beacons National Park over 519-square miles of stunning countryside. Our tour visits the far eastern side of the park to enjoy views of the Black Mountains, quaint villages with stone cottages, Llangorse Lake, once considered to have magical powers, and the 18th century Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal, considered by many to be Britain's most picturesque canal. Crossing the canal we follow the scenic road to Talybont-on-Usk and reservoir, set in a charming wooded valley surrounded by splendid hills.

Our tour visits a range of sites covering Jimi’s four-year history in London; from Zoot Money’s flat, his first port of call on landing in September 24th 1966, to the apartment where he died on September 18th 1970.
