View Dates
Wales is wild, windswept, and just the right amount of mysterious. Walk coastal cliffs in Pembrokeshire, climb legend-soaked Cadair Idris, and ramble through ruins older than most countries. With farm-fresh feasts, ancient forts, and folklore around every bend, this Celtic adventure proves that sometimes the best way to explore is one footstep—and fable—at a time.

Our group embraced the adventure, rewarded with a spectacular high tea in an old abbey.
Our recent trip to Wales with B&R was unforgettable. Despite a rainy first day, our group embraced the adventure, rewarded with a spectacular high tea in an old abbey. A passionate nature guide led us through the rain, sharing fascinating foraging insights. We ended the day at a beautifully renovated manor, our discomforts quickly forgotten. The rest of the trip was filled with perfect weather, amazing experiences, and exceptional guides.
