WALES - LAND OF MY FATHERS
1 nt Manchester, 4 nts Llandudno, 4 nts Aberystwyth, 3 nts Cardiff
For the 3rd consecutive year we are repeating our very succesful "Wales - Land of My Fathers" tour, the most comprehensive tour you will ever find of Wales. As previous participants will attest, this is not a fleeting glimpse, as offered by most tour companies, but a real, in depth look at this most historic and beautiful part of the British Isles. Your guide will be a passionate Welshman, Idwal Jones, and here is his invitation to you......
"I’m very pleased to offer once more our ever popular ‘Land of my Fathers’ tour which is planned this year for a late May departure. Springtime in Wales is one of the prettiest seasons with the countryside beginning to bloom with colours and coming alive with the sights and sounds of new born animals and warming temperatures.
Our 2012 tour includes many new places to visit including more gardens; the Hidden Garden on the island of Anglesey is a wonderful discovery as is the Physic Garden in Cowbridge. Jen Jones’ quilt centre is another exciting discovery as is Rhiannon’s ‘Welsh Gold Centre’ in the remote town of Tregaron
You will adore meeting the people, enjoy travelling through well-kept countryside, visit picturesque villages, small market towns, and fine gardens. Our medieval castles rank amongst the best in Europe and our collection of National Trust properties are amongst the best in Britain. You are certain to enjoy the hotels we have selected, Can y Bae at the seaside, The Conrah in the countryside and The Parc Hotel in the centre of Cardiff, our capital city. We have also engaged some expert guides to lead us at some of the attractions.
The itinerary for each day is clearly set out, and the pace will be relaxed and unhurried with plenty of opportunities to gain a genuine insight into the local culture and taste the delicious regional cuisine.
Again, I will personally be leading this tour and as always look forward to sharing the delights and charms of this land, the ‘Land of my Fathers’ with you.
Warmest regards,"
