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.

Good to know
Terrain
There will be a few days of relatively flat terrain on coastal walks, and a handful of hikes on uneven terrain, with easier options. We recommend familiarity in experiencing varying terrain while walking and hiking.
Air Conditioning
There is no air conditioning in our hotels due to the cooler temperatures of the region.
Van support
Due to the location of our trails, van support is limited.
Pre and Post trip
We recommend booking the night before your trip commences in the historic town of Chester, just 45 minutes from Manchester Airport or 2 hours by train from London.
