Wales - Fly Drive
Welch Flag As the signs say, "Croeso i Cymru" , welcome to Wales. Wales is known not only as former home to Richard Burton, Catherine Zeta Jones, Laura Ashley and Tom Jones, but it has inspired the poet Dylan Thomas and other literary figures. Wales has over 400 castles, magnificent gardens, and its own Prince. It's known for its all-male choirs, unpronounceable town names, like Llanfairpwyllgwyngyll, and spectacular Snowdonia National Park. Our self drive Wales tours gives you the freedom to explore the far corners of Wales.

The castle previously formed part of the Crown Estate until sold by Charles I in 1632 and sits in its ancient walled dry moat within acres of private landscaped gardens, parkland and woods alongside the River Clwyd. 2 AA Rosette award winning restaurant whose opulent, traditional décor boasts the most wonderful crystal chandeliers.

Self-Drive Wales - Your Way
Wales has its own language, its own Prince, and some of the most beautiful scenery in Britain. Its borders are lined with strongly fortified castles, reminders of the time when English kings had to protect their western flank from the fiery Welsh. Towns have tongue- twisting names like Llanfairpwyllgwyngyll. Narrow-gauge steam railways puff contentedly through glorious scenery, and you can see more castles per square mile than anywhere else in Europe. The Welsh have always been fiercely independent and our independent program gives you the freedom to explore history-steeped market towns, idyllic villages, and the glorious gardens of Wales. Explore rugged landscape combining bed and breakfasts, hotels, manors and even romantic castles to form your perfect vacation! If you would like to stay at an unusual out-of-the way hotel or inn not listed here, please ask. We will be happy to plan any itinerary for you.

What our clients say about this program:
"We booked our first trip to Ireland through Lynott in 1987 and were very pleased. I chose Lynott over others as your packages were a better value and much more affordable without sacrificing quality."

"It has been a few weeks since we returned from Scotland. Just wanted to let you know that we had a wonderful time and that the people were very friendly. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and thank you for your help. We plan on returning to Scotland in a few years."

Golden opportunities: Barafundle Bay, Pembrokeshire, recently won a beauty contest for Britain’s best beach. But we think it’s a close call: our 750-mile coastline has many runners-up. In fact, with 41 Blue Flag beaches, Wales has more top-rated beaches than anywhere else in Britain. Rock solid: We have hundreds of castles to explore as well as ancient cathedrals, abbeys and mysterious standing stones. If you have an appetite for history, Wales is a feast. Go wild: Wildlife thrives in our countryside and around our coastline. Dolphins and seals, butterflies and nocturnal badgers, warblers, kingfishers and the graceful red kite all call Wales home. Big city: Take a dip in the rapids of Wales’ city living: visit cool Cardiff, friendly Swansea or our gateway city, Newport. Or slow it down in St Davids, the city no bigger than a village. Story time: Just about every hill, valley and stream in Wales has a legend to go with it. After you’ve heard the stories, it’s fun to search out the settings. Water world: Take time to go fishing, paddle a canoe or just enjoy cooling your feet in one of our fast-moving, crystal clear rivers. Our very own “Lake District,” the Elan Valley, is a wonderland of moorland, rivers, woodland, bogs and reservoirs. Eat well: Welsh chefs are now recognized as some of the best in the world. Their “secret weapon” is the incredible range of local ingredients they have to choose from – classic cheeses, ultrafresh seafood and excellent meat. Land of song: Listening to a Welsh Male Voice choir is a unique and moving experience. Most choirs welcome visitors to rehearsals, which are often as stirring and enjoyable as full-scale concerts - plus, you can see what goes on behind the scenes. Say hello: We love to chat with new friends so take time to visit the pub, market, tearoom or village shop. Enjoy a warm Welsh welcome: “Croeso!” Biking: According to the Colorado-based International Mountain Biking Association, Wales also offers some of the best mountain biking tracks anywhere on the planet.  High life: Reach the summit of Snowdon Mountain and you’re standing at the highest point in England and Wales. Located at the heart of Snowdonia, one of our three National Parks, the views on the way up are just as breathtaking whether you hike up or take the Snowdon Mountain Railway.

 Llanwrtyd Wells in Wales - officially the smallest town in Great Britain. Site of: World Mountain Bike Bog Snorkelling Championships If you are looking for unique, wacky and physically challenging, this is the event for you! The idea is to cycle along the bottom of a 6ft deep peat bog wearing a mask and snorkel and get back in the quickest time! The bike used is specially prepared with a lead filled frame and water filled tyres to ensure grip on the pond bottom. The snorkeller/cyclist wears a lead weight belt to avoid floating off the bike! Scuba Drivers are on hand for safety purposes.
