1: Castles of the Welsh Borders |
| An exciting
tour for lovers of castles and ruins. We go to Chepstow,
the first stone built castle in Wales, begun within ten
years of the Norman Invasion of 1066 and dramatically set
on a cliff overlooking the River Wye; Whitecastle, between
Monmouth and Abergavenny, a lovely little hilltop castle
and very traditional with a moat and round towers; and Raglan
Castle, the last castle to be built in Wales, in 1465. All
of these are now hugely impressive and beautiful ruins with
plenty to see - places to let the imagination run wild in!
We also visit Monmouth, with it's odd little fortified bridge which is over 700 years old,and the beautiful ruins of Tintern Abbey.

3: Castle Combe & the South Cotswolds |
Castle Combe is reckoned by some to be the most beautiful of all the Cotswold villages - judge for yourself!
We also visit Lacock with an optional chance to see the Abbey Cloisters, a location used in the Harry Potter films, and Malmesbury with the fabulous Saxon Abbey and stunning Abbey House gardens (optional when open, but recommended). Please note that entrance fees are not included in the tour fee.
