welcome, enjoy a pre-dinner drink of mulled wine in the Lounge
Bar. Following dinner, you can listen to a short introductory
talk about how the spa town of Llandrindod Wells developed
and its Victorian hey-day.
TUESDAY A full day tour takes us
through the mountains to the seaside resort of Aberystwyth,
which has an impressive promenade, two beaches, a ruined castle
and an important university where Prince Charles once studied.
In the afternoon it’s all aboard the Vale of Rheidol Railway,
one of the Great Little Trains of Wales, (fare included) as
the narrow gauge steam railway climbs up the valley to the
beauty spot of Devil's Bridge, where we rejoin our coach.

Wells.The town is located on the scenic Heart of Wales railway,
which accelerated the growth of the area's spa towns, and

followed by the uplifting sound of a live Welsh Choir.
