You travel in a luxurious fully electric vehicle, limited to a maximum of seven passengers, in the company of your guide, Andy, who is a qualified Mountain Leader and a Green Badged Tourist Guide.

This tour is your bespoke day out and so can be tweaked, both by start point (pickups across South Wales - for example Monmouth, Chepstow, Newport, Cardiff, Abergavenny, Brecon, Bridgend, Swansea) and by content. We'll chat to you about your preferences when you make the booking.

This is a fully inclusive tour with ALL admissions to the various attractions paid for in advance by us. This includes a guided tour down a mine at Big Pit National Coal Museum. 

South Wales is geologically 'lucky', having all of the elements required to fuel the industrial revolution, iron, coal, limestone and silica rock. From the 1750's iron boom through the 1850's to the 1980's when coal was king, South Wales was a hive of activity, smelting, mining and developing technologies to improve production. This tour has been designed to look at this history, its effects upon the landscape and peoplewho laboured so hard and also at those who profited from that labour. We'll also have a look at the scenic beauty of the Brecon Beacons National Park which lies to the north, on the fringes of the coalfields, and how the mining communities are recovering, post the closure of the mines in the 1990's. Please see the itinerary for all of the stops and visits.
