These take the form of Days Out travelling in our People Carrier to visit a variety of places of interest in the locality. Examples of what is on offer are shown opposite.

 

There are routes which are aimed primarily at discovering the immense scenic beauty of the area whether we go West deeper into Wales, North through the Marches, East into rural England or South into the mountains and valleys of South Wales.
