Day 1 Morning departure to Wales and to the resort of Tenby for a five night stay.
Days 2 to 5 A day at leisure to enjoy the delights of Tenby, with magnificent beaches, shops and restaurants huddled within medieval walls amongst narrow streets that run down to the busy harbour. Weather permitting, take a boat trip to the nearby monastic island of Caldey.
We have included the following excursions:
• A day tour to the beautiful Towy Valley to visit the National Botanical Garden of Wales. Set in a former 18th Century Regency Park, the garden is situated within a 568-acre site. You will be drawn to the Great Glasshouse which is spectacularly unique, doubling as a Mediterranean garden and event centre. On the journey back to the hotel you will visit Laugharne, where Dylan Thomas spent much of his life.
• Half day tour to the smallest city in Britain, St Davids, and has been a place of pilgrimage for centuries. Visit the 12th century St Davids Cathedral to learn its history and enjoy a cuppa at the Cathedral coffee shop.
• Day tour to Aberglasney House and Gardens. Abandoned for over 50 years with the house and gardens overgrown and crumbling, the restoration of Aberglasney has been a remarkable achievement. Explore the many restored gardens with their pools, parapets and cloisters and visit the ground floor of the house itself.
Day 6 After breakfast, depart the hotel and commence the homeward journey.
