Come and explore Mid Wales and the Brecon Beacons in the Winter!

Springtime in Mid Wales and the Brecon Beacons really is a lovely time of year. As the temperatures rise and the days lengthen, it is an ideal time to get away from the crowds and to use our expertise in finding the back roads, the hidden gems and the places only experienced locally based guides can know. In Spring, the air is clearer, the views better and the wild flowers are bursting forth ready to greet the walker or explorer.

 The really interesting and beautiful places often lie a long way from the main roads and tourist signposts. They don't even come up on Sat Navs / GPS! But don't just go to the same places as everyone else - use a guide! Whether you want to hike in the Bannau Brycheiniog / Brecon Beacons National Park, explore the remote places of Mid Wales or enjoy the delights of Herefordshire's many villages, we can offer a bespoke tour for you. Local knowledge is everything and we offer a personal experience so that every day's tour is uniquely designed for you. Rob and his team are all graduate geographers who have lived most or all of their lives in Mid Wales. If you'd like to know the story behind the scene, the reason underneath the reason, then do get in touch. Whether it's landscape and scenery, history or mythology then we can design a tour for you picking you up from your accommodation.

The Zeitz family from the USA at Capel-Y-Ffin in the Black Mountains

 

The Zeitz family, from Montana and California were over here for a family wedding in Herefordshire. With a few days to see the "Old Country" they used Rob as their personal guide to Herefordshire and the Wye Valley. They retraced the steps of some of the earliest "tourists", in the eighteenth century, when they travelled down the Wye Valley from Ross-on-Wye to the spectacular Tintern Abbey via England's allegedly best view - at Yat Rock. Next up was a tour of the western borderlands - the enigmatic Kilpeck church and the stunning Vale of Ewyas before descending from the high Gospel Pass to the bibliophile's paradise of Hay-on-Wye. Fibnally the family toured the Black & White Village trail on the NW of the county where, somewhat unexpectedly, Monkland cheese factory proved to be a highlight. The ancient half timbered villages of Eardisland, Pembridge, Weobley and Eardisley completed a lovely day out with new friends from across the pond.

“ We spent two wonderful days in August hiking with Rob. Weaving along midWales magnificent shore line as we hiked  beaches, woods, and lovely berry-lined paths for the occasional foraging; with the constantcy of the bright blue Irish Sea as a gorgeous backdrop. With Rob’s impressive knowledge of nature and British/Welsh history our hikes were always filled with lively and intelligent conversation. We felt as though we had just taken two courses “ 
“Welsh Flora and Fauna” and “An idiots guide to Welsh’s history, culture, religion and politics “.  He even brought us a delicious homemade lunch filled with homemade jam!  Don’t miss hiking with warm, intelligent and  thoroughly entertaining Rob Rees!”
