Give yourself a break that's right on your doorstep in Wales - the Celtic land of castles, myths and legends, pure mountain air and sheep-speckled scenery.
Friday
The weekend begins with arrival at Abergavenny station, when you'll be picked up and taken straight to your accommodation in Hay-on Wye - the beautiful book town - home to the Guardian Literary Festival. There's time to do some exploring before dinner in one of Hay's great eating places.Saturday
Saturday means a bike ride through the Brecon Beacons! With routes tailored to suit everyone this can be as gentle or as challenging as you like. We have comfortable bikes for road riding and top-quality mountain bikes if you fancy something a bit muddier! We'll also supply you with a picnic lunch to enjoy en route. Once you reach Brecon there'll be time to look around this pretty Georgian market town with its historic sites, shops and galleries, before you and your bikes are picked up and taken back to Hay.
Sunday
Following breakfast, take to the hills for a half day walk (again there's routes for all abilities), rewarded perhaps by a hearty Sunday lunch or a little shopping in Hay's boutiques and bookshops. Then it's time for your transfer back to the station for the journey home and a chance to read the Sunday papers on the way.
