UK Bike & Walking Tours | Butterfield & Robinson

Framed by emerald meadows, Roman ruins and wild rugged landscapes, Wales is a land that’s best discovered on two feet. Our journey starts in Pembrokeshire National Park, recognized as the UK's only coastal national park. We'll make the most of its heart-stirring beauty before following in the footprints of local legend to Cadair Idris—a rugged mountain steeped in Welsh folklore. In between, we'll savour farm-cooked meals, tour ancient forts and discover the very best of this proud Celtic nation.
