The stunning gardens date back 300 years and feature a mix of sophisticated flower borders and fantastic topiary. We then continue to Llandrindod Wells where we commence our three night stay at Metropole Hotel.
DDay Two
This morning spend some time at leisure to explore Llandrindod Wells before we travel to Brecon, where we board a narrow boat for a cruise on the Monmouthshire and Brecon canal. Spend a delightful few hours cruising through some beautiful scenery within the Brecon Beacons National Park.
B, DDay Three
Today we travel to the seaside resort of Aberystwyth. Enjoy free time to look around, take a walk along the promenade or maybe ride up the Victorian Cliff Railway to the top of Constitution Hill where you can enjoy fantastic views over Cardigan Bay. This afternoon we take our seats on the Vale of Rheidol steam railway for a nostalgic 12 mile journey climbing 700ft through some truly spectacular scenery to Devil's Bridge, home to the famous waterfalls.
B, DDay Four
We check out of our hotel and travel to Rhayader and the Elan Valley Visitor Centre where we meet a guide who will accompany us for a tour of the dams. Elan is a beautiful and unspoilt area made even more compelling by the dams and reservoirs which together create a wonderful landscape. Enjoy the stunning views and marvel at the engineering enterprise of the Victorians before continue our homeward journey early afternoon.
