3 DAY TOUR
The Taste of Wales Tour captures the best of the National Parks in Wales, covering Snowdonia, the Pembrokeshire Coast and the Brecon Beacons. This 3 day tour of Wales takes you through three National Parks which cover approximately a fifth of the area of Wales and with this tour we spend extensive touring days covering the best highlights of each National Park. During your tour with us across the three National Park areas, there will be many photo stops that we will make amongst the breath-taking scenic landscapes. The Snowdonia National Park is located in the North of Wales and is the largest and most mountainous of the three National Parks in Wales. It covers an area of 827 square miles and features the tallest mountain in Wales – Mount Snowdon. The area is steeped in culture and history and it is in this region that you will find Welsh spoken more widely than any other part of Wales. The Pembrokeshire Coastline is not what you would usually expect from a National Park. It’s unique in the fact that it’s the only one that exists on the coast of Wales. It’s also our smallest of the three National Parks covering roughly 186 miles of coastline and it never stretches more than 10 miles inland from the sea. The coastline itself offers some of the wildest scenery in Britain featuring a variety of stunning landscapes, backed by rolling hills, sea cliffs, scenic estuaries and beautiful beaches. The third National Park of our Taste of Wales Tour is in the South of Wales and is known as the Brecon Beacons. Stretching from Hay-on-Wye in the east to Llandeilo in the west, the Brecon Beacons National Park covers an area of 520 square miles and includes four ranges of mountains; the Black Mountains in the east, the Central Beacons with Pen-y-Fan being the highest point, Fforest Fawr and the Black Mountain (Mynydd Du) sitting out to the west of the National Park. Our touring day through the Brecon Beacons picks up some of the best scenic landscapes, featuring rolling countryside, wild moorlands, forests, lakes and reservoirs with plenty of photo opportunities.
Our tour through the Snowdonia National Park features the most spectacular landscapes and scenery in Wales. Our tour will take you through some very special areas outside the reach of the bigger tours and you’ll get to visit some lovely places during the touring day.
We’ll tour you along an ancient Roman road through a valley of sheep farms amongst spectacular mountain scenery. We then go on to make stops at several glacial lakes and witness the biggest mountain in Wales, Mount Snowdon. We also tour on the most scenic road in Wales and visit the beautiful village of Beddgelert. We will also make a stop at a farm to capture the culture of Wales.

We will tour right across the National Park exploring stunning sections of the coastal park touring you along single-track roads, through the hedgerows of beautiful rolling Pembrokeshire countryside. We’ll also introduce you to hidden gems – like St Govan’s Chapel and you’ll get to discover one of the top ten beaches in the world and the top rated in Britain! Tenby is a beautiful harbour town, set on cliff tops with amazing coastal views.

Brecon Beacon National Park is land locked and our scenic touring day captures the most amazing scenic regions of the Park area. We’ll tour across remote moorlands along single track roads amongst herds of grazing sheep looking for the wild ponies. The day also features some medieval history with a visit to one of the most scenic and remote castles in Wales, along with a visit to a fortified manor house. We’ll step further back in time to discover life living on a Crannog. One of the highlights of the day is visiting the second hand bookshop capital of the world, Hay-on-Wye.
Afterwards, we’ll get to tour you on old ancient single track roads literally just wide enough for our vehicle to fit and you are rewarded with touring along the highest road in Wales, where we are amongst the most stunning rolling countryside and towered by the border Black Mountains of Wales. As we descend from the heights we tour along the Vale (valley) of Ewyas, which features a beautiful picturesque chapel, a ruined Augustinian Priory and the leaning medieval church. The day is rounded off with an optional stop at the oldest inn in Wales before dropping off at your chosen accommodation for the evening.
