Private Tour: The Valleys Heritage And South Wales Landscapes

Travel in comfort aboard a luxurious fully electric vehicle, limited to just seven passengers, accompanied by your expert guide Andy, a qualified Mountain Leader and Green Badged Tourist Guide. This tour is entirely customisable, with flexible pickup locations across South Wales including Monmouth, Chepstow, Newport, Cardiff, Abergavenny, Brecon, Bridgend, and Swansea. Andy will work with you to tailor the day to your interests. All entry fees are included, such as a fascinating guided tour underground at Big Pit National Coal Museum, ensuring a seamless and enriching experience throughout.

This fully inclusive tour offers a compelling journey through the industrial heartland of South Wales, a region rich in coal, iron, limestone, and silica rock that powered the Industrial Revolution. From the iron boom of the 1750s through the coal dominance of the 19th and 20th centuries, you'll explore how this landscape shaped and was shaped by the people who lived and laboured here—and the fortunes built upon their efforts. Along the way, enjoy the stunning natural scenery of the Brecon Beacons National Park and learn how former mining communities are rebuilding in the post-industrial era.
