Wales Castle Tours Customized for You
Custom Wales Castle Tours can be taken as a Wales Self-Drive Tour or why not take a Wales Chauffeur Driven Tour – just sit back and let one of our fantastic driver/guides take the wheel allowing you to take in the scenery without worrying about the road ahead? We recommend combining your Custom Wales Castle Tour with some of the Castles from our Custom England Castle Tours in order to to extend your stay in the British Isles.
You may also like to include some of the elements from our Custom Ireland Castle Tours and/or our Custom Scotland Castle Tours.
Day 1: Roch Castle, Pembrokeshire, Wales
Start your Wales Castle Vacation in Cardiff – you can get here by way of some of our England Castles or fly into Cardiff Airport. Your driver/guide will meet you at arrivals if you have chosen a Chauffeur Driven Tour or alternatively you can pick up your car for your Self Drive Vacation. Whatever your mode of transport spend some time in Cardiff – a visit to Cardiff Castle is a must. Afterwards travel the scenic route to your first Wales Castle stay.

Pembrokeshire Coast National Park is Britain’s only Coastal National Park and the Pembrokeshire coast path skirts the county with stunning views along the way.
