This tour begins and finishes in London. You will be picked up from your London hotel at approximately 09:00. TENTATIVE ITINERARY DAY 1 From London, we will wander via the pretty Chiltern Hills, an area teeming with literary heritage, to historic Gloucester. Here, we’ll see Gloucester Cathedral and can explore children’s literature connections with Beatrix Potter and Humpty Dumpty. Once in Wales, there’s the scenic Wye Valley, Chepstow Castle and romantic Tintern Abbey, inspiration for one of William Wordsworth's loveliest poems to enjoy. If we’ve time, we may also catch a glimpse of the area where Harry Potter author JK Rowling grew up. En-route to our night stop location, we’ll travel through the once gray and hard world of a Welsh mining valley, now transformed, but a time so memorably captured in the great novel of industrial Wales, 'How Green Was My Valley'. NIGHT STOP: Bridgend/Gower
DAY 2 A unique day following the Dylan Thomas Trail and affording us the opportunity of touring one of the UK’s nicest areas, the Gower Coast. We will spend time in the village of Laugharne. This was Dylan Thomas’ village, the inspiration for Under Milk Wood, where we’ll see his famed boat house writing studio, home and grave. Also, we will feature the city of Swansea and explore a few other legends of Welsh literature including the great Celtic tradition that gave birth to the Arthurian legends. NIGHT STOP: Bridgend/Gower
DAY 3 Yet even more stunning scenery as we make our way through the verdant Vale of Glamorgan to the the open-air Museum of Welsh Life in the village of St Fagans. This fascinating mirror of hundreds of years of Welsh life embraces dozens of authentic buildings, removed from all corners of the country and painstakingly and faithfully rebuilt and refurbished here. Houses, churches and chapels, a mill, bakery, pubs and even a school, have been wonderfully preserved. You can easily imagine the life of times of Dylan Thomas during time here. We'll take our leave of the land of the Red Dragon, crossing the river Severn and, time and interest permitting, can stop at the mysterious ancient standing stones of Avebury and the amazing Silbury Hill en-route back into London.
