Tour 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.

Visit the awe-inspiring Stonehenge, a World Heritage site, Avebury, the largest stone circle in Europe, and other prehistoric sites in the ancient downland countryside of Wiltshire.

Also included is the lovely old market town of Marlborough, where Kate Middleton spent her school days. You may also spot a few white horses carved into the hillsides.

Tour 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.
