Our collection of escorted coach holidays to Wales showcase the best that this area has to offer, from the steep peaks of Snowdonia to the stunning valleys of the Brecon Beacons, the beautiful countryside of the Pembrokeshire Coast, to charming towns of Betws-y-Coed, quaint Hay-on-Wye, and the Italian-esque village of Portmeirion, alongside the traditional coastal towns of Llandudno and Tenby, there truly is something for everyone.

Wales also has a strong sense of history, and the spectacular landscape is scattered with evidence of this, from ancient castles where famous battles were fought, to fortresses built to keep invaders at bay, as well as more modern records of the industrial revolutions like the coal mines.
