Wales & Ireland 15 DayTour 2012
Welcome!! Slow, relaxed touring is our goal, so please don’t hesitate to speak up if you want to stop for photos, a restroom, tea or coffee. During the tour, if you decide that you want to take a day off to just sit around, all we ask is that you let us know so we aren’t waiting for you. We want you to return home feeling like you’ve “really” discovered and explored the places we’ve taken you. Unlike most tours we will be staying at least 2 nights at every hotel to make your experience even more enjoyable. This 15 day journey will bring the very best Wales and Ireland have to offer the visitor.
Arriving at Manchester airport you will travel into Wales for a visit to spectacular Powis Castle before heading for your accommodation for the next 2 nights which is situated just outside Cardiff. Whilst there you will experience life as a miner in the Big Pit Museum, drive through the beautiful Wye Valley and visit Tintern Abbey, one of the greatest monastic ruins in Wales.
You will also enjoy the Museum of Welsh Life, one of Europe’s most outstanding open air museums and a visit to Laugharne, home to Wales’ great poet and writer Dylan Thomas, before arriving at your accommodation in west Wales, your home for the next 2 nights.
Here you will be able to explore 2 of Wales’ gems; the medieval walled town of Tenby and St. Davids, birthplace of Wales’ Patron Saint. Don’t miss the opportunity of seeing St. Davids Cathedral one of the most important shrines in medieval Christendom.
We then head over St. George’s Channel to Ireland, staying for 2 nights in Co. Waterford home to the oldest city in Ireland. A visit to the replica of the Dunbrody Famine Ship will give you an idea of life on board for the thousands of Irish families fleeing the famine and heading to America. You will also visit the iconic Rock of Cashel (Rock of the Kings) seat of the High Kings of Munster and Cahir Castle one of Ireland’s largest and best preserved castles.
There’s a chance for you to kiss the Blarney Stone in one of the country’s prettiest village before we head for Co. Kerry for the next 2 nights.
The Ring of Kerry is both mystical and spectacularly beautiful as you will discover during your stay
The Cliffs of Moher top the list of attractions of places to see and you will see why as we move northwards through the Burren (a landscape that is unique in Ireland) to your 2 night stay in Connemara.
It is here that (weather permitting) you will get to sail to the Aran Islands, which lie of the westerly edge of Europe and make for a fascinating visit. There’s also a visit to Kylemore Abbey the oldest of the Irish Benedictine Abbeys together with a stop in Cong deep in the heart of Joyce’s country and the setting of the film “The Quiet Man”.
After all that it’s a 2 night stop in Dublin where you will have plenty of free time to fall in love with Ireland’s vibrant capital city. Finally in Ireland it’s a trip to Glendalough, one of Ireland’s most beautiful spots
It’s then time to head back across the Irish Sea for a 2 night stay in Snowdonia an area of breathtaking beauty and home to the biggest and boldest mountains in England and Wales.
During your stay you will visit the village with the longest place name in the United Kingdom, Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantisiliogogogoch, get the chance to walk over the majestic Pontcysyllte Aqueduct before stopping off at Llangollen home to the International Festival of Music every year. Also included is a trip to Beddgelert to hear the heart-rending story of Gelert, faithful hound of Prince Llewellyn and a journey over the Llanberis Pass a rugged slate strewn mountain pass by the side of Mount Snowdon Wale’s largest mountain.
Unfortunately we then have to take you back to Manchester airport for your return home, but we are sure that your visit will live long in the memory.
Why not bring 9 friends or family members with you and get your holiday completely free.
Prices start at just £1,975 per person based on 2 people sharing double/twin rooms on a bed and breakfast basis. Transport to and from Manchester airport is included in the price as is entrance to the following attractions:-
Powis Castle Big Pit Tintern Abbey Museum of Welsh Life Dylan Thomas’ Boathouse in Laugharne Dunbrody Famine Ship Rock of Cashel Cahir Castle Blarney Castle Cliffs of Moher Boat trip to Aran Islands Kylemore Abbey Glendalough
Also, you will have a farewell dinner on your last night courtesy of Cambrian Routes Limited as a thank you for your company.
