Castles, Abbeys & Roman Ruins in Spectacular Border Country

Venture into the scenic Wye Valley on a journey through time, where breathtaking landscapes meet centuries of rich history. This full-day driver-guided tour from Cardiff explores some of the region’s most fascinating sites — from ancient castles perched on hilltops to the haunting beauty of Tintern Abbey and the well-preserved remains of Roman Britain. It’s a day that blends history, legend, and natural beauty in equal measure.

Your itinerary is designed to be flexible. With your driver-guide, you’ll be able to adjust timings and stops to suit your pace and interests. In the winter months (November–March), shorter daylight hours may mean choosing three key sites instead of four — your guide will help you plan the best route on the day. Entry to heritage sites such as Chepstow Castle, Tintern Abbey, Raglan Castle, and Caerleon’s Roman Baths is not included in the tour price but can be paid for individually on arrival.
