Day by day

Itinerary

  1. 1

    Cardiff (Wales)

    After meeting the group in Wales’ vibrant capital, we’ll get to know one another over a delicious welcome dinner at the hotel.

  2. 2

    Cardiff - Brecon Beacons

    Following a hearty breakfast at our hotel, we’ll venture through the dramatic Welsh Valleys to Brecon Beacons National Park. We’ll stop off at the impressive Caerleon Roman Fortress and Baths, which date back to AD 74. Afterwards – if time allows – we’ll delve into Welsh mining heritage at the Big Pit National Coal Museum. This evening, another delicious group dinner awaits us at our hotel.

  3. 3

    Brecon Beacons - Llangollen - North Wales

    Today’s itinerary will take us further north along the border regions of Mid Wales to Pontcysyllte Aqueduct: the longest and highest structure of its kind (and a UNESCO World Heritage Site). Next, we’ll pass by the mesmerising Valle Crucis Abbey before pausing for an afternoon tea together at a charming local tearoom. Upon our arrival along the rugged North Welsh Coast, we’ll have the evening to spend at our leisure.

  4. 4

    North Wales

    There’s plenty of free time to explore the nearby towns of Llandudno and Conwy today. How you choose to spend the day is up to you, but we recommend visiting the imposing Conwy Castle and taking a look at the medieval town walls. Later, you could uncover the self-proclaimed “smallest house in Great Britain” along the picturesque quay, which also plays host to an abundance of cosy cafes and traditional pubs perfect for spending a relaxing afternoon.

  5. 5

    North Wales - Snowdonia National Park - West Wales

    Continuing our journey today, we’ll have a brief photo opportunity at the village with the longest place name in Europe – Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch – before moving on to Caernarfon Castle. After exploring its impressive medieval battlements and uncovering fascinating historic tales, we’ll take in the stunning landscapes of the Rheidol Valley in comfort and style with a historic steam train ride. Travelling around horseshoe bends, through mountain tunnels and along cliff edges – there’s no better way to discover the region’s lush green pastures, glittering lakes and serene forests. Finally, we’ll journey through breathtaking Snowdonia National Park before discussing the day’s events over a group dinner.

  6. 6

    West Wales - Pembrokeshire

    Ready for more intriguing local heritage? We'll kick things off this morning by paying a visit to the National Wool Museum to learn more about the booming Welsh wool industry during the 19th century. Then, it’s time to jump back even further in time at the highly atmospheric Castell Henllys Iron Age Village. Wander around reconstructed, thatched-roof roundhouses and learn the secrets of surviving in the prehistoric era from friendly villagers. Finally, our day will end in picturesque Pembrokeshire – where you’ll have the evening to spend at your leisure. 

  7. 7

    Pembrokeshire, including Tenby and St Davids

    This morning, we’ll admire the verdant rolling hills of the Welsh countryside as we set a course for the picture-perfect fishing village of Tenby. Perched on a headland and surrounded by Norman-built walls, we’ll have time to explore the medieval village streets and array of cafes and stores at our own pace. Later, we'll stop off at lovely St Davids – Britain’s smallest city – to discover the ruins of the magnificent Gothic Bishop’s Palace. Upon returning to our hotel, we’ll don our best outfits for tonight’s final group dinner. Here’s to an incredible journey! 

  8. 8

    Pembrokeshire - Cardiff

    After breakfast, it’s back to Cardiff we go! This morning we’ll make the scenic drive south towards the capital, where we’ll pay a visit to St Fagans National Museum of History – Wales’ most popular heritage attraction – before our tour comes to a close.

Travel at 60 Social Getaways

Travel further when you're not travelling alone

Our Social Getaways are small-group holidays designed especially for over-60s Australians who want the freedom of a great trip without the work of planning every detail. A Travel at 60 host travels with the group, the operator handles the logistics, and you get to focus on the bit that matters — the people, the places, and the stories you'll bring home.

Open to solo travellers too. Many of our travellers book on their own and find their feet quickly in a friendly group of like-minded Australians. Reduced single-supplement options are available on most departures — ask one of our consultants and we'll talk you through what's offered on this trip.

  • A friendly Travel at 60 host — an Australian face on the ground, looking out for the group from day one.
  • Curated local guides & boutique suppliers — the same operators we'd book for our own families.
  • Real itineraries, not whirlwind tours — comfortable transfers, breathing room, and the “off the beaten track” stops the big bus tours skip.

Want to talk it through? Call 1300 414 198 7 days a week, Queensland time, and one of our consultants will walk you through it.
