Wonderland Coach Tours - 7 Days Tour Highlights • Outstanding seascapes and mountain scenery • Cambrian Woollen Mill Museum • Brecon Beacons • Book town of Hay-on-Wye • Charming Ludlow • Welsh Royal Crystal • Elan Valley dams • Welsh Night & Free Bar* |
In the heart of rural Mid Wales, Llandrindod Wells is a surprise. Hardly Welsh in character,
it developed into a Victorian spa town in the mid 19th century, with rather opulent
buildings, new hotels, parks and lakes. An attraction is the restored Pump Room in the
Rock Park, where there is a small health centre. The sedate Victorian atmosphere has
been preserved and because of its central location, it is an excellent base from which to
tour the scenic countryside. As an added bonus this holiday includes a special Welsh
Night with Free Bar* too! |
