The
Heart of Wales Coach Tours - 8 Days
Tour Highlights
• Cambrian Mountains and coast • Dinas-Mawddwy
• Aberystwyth
• Heart of Wales Railway Ride • Llandovery • Tywyn
Situated seven hundred
feet above sea level and surrounded by some of the most beautiful
scenery in Wales, Llandrindod Wells is one of Britain’s hidden
treasures. It was the Victorians who developed the town into
one of the most fashionable Spa towns in Britain, and you
can still visit the Pump Room where it was once possible to
take the mineral rich waters. Temple Gardens is the perfect
place to relax and watch the world go by, whilst for the more
energetic there is a purpose-built indoor bowling centre nearby.
The Heart of Wales

FULL DAY Our full
day excursion takes us to the seaside resort of Aberystwyth
where there is an opportunity to take an optional ride on
one of the ‘Great Little Trains of Wales’ - the Vale of Rheidol
Steam railway (summer only).This marvellous journey winds
its way through the hills, offering spectacular views down
the valley, to Devil’s Bridge.

Our first visit is Machynlleth, site of the first Welsh Parliament,

to Tywyn and pass mighty Cadir Idris on our way to the attractive
mountain village of Dinas-Mawddwy.
