.jpg) Journeys Through Wales - Trains through Wales Wales is a small country that is often overlooked. However, those who do not consider visiting this beautiful country will miss out on exploring the breathtaking natural beauty and authentic old-world charm. Wales has myriad towns and villages with seemingly unpronounceable names, its own language, an ancient form of Celtic, its own prince, Charles, narrow-gauge steam railways that puff contentedly, and more castles per square mile than anywhere else in Europe. Not every town in Wales can be reached by train, but we have selected a few highlights. Journeys Through Wales - Wales Rail Tour Includes: • 4-day rail pass. Map • Green hotel accommodations for 3 nights; room with private bath. • 3 full breakfasts. • All taxes and service charges. Sightseeing admission charges at added cost.

Britain. Built in the late 13th century, the fortress is a supreme example of
the concentric “walls within walls” system of defense. The
castle’s only sign of weakness is its famous leaning tower (which
out-leans the tower at Pisa). Overnight at Park Inn Cardiff or Hilton.Day 2 – SWANSEA Many different experiences are available.
