Carbon Neutral Trip

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.

Great Walks
Wales is a paradise for walkers, offering challenging hikes amidst some of the most breathtaking landscapes in the UK.

Historic Sites
From the medieval town of St. David to the 18th c. city of Cardigan, there's a fascinating history to dive in to.

Diverse Landscapes
Spanning 300 km (186 mi.), we'll explore the Pembrokeshire Coast Path, one of the most ecologically rich and diverse areas in Wales.

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.
