Itinerary

Day 1 - Outward Travel

Day 2 - Full Day Wye Valley Cruise & Monmouth

  • Enjoy a scenic cruise on the River Wye with informative commentary along the way. This a wonderfully peaceful way to take in the spectacular surrounding scenery and wildlife that lives along the banks of the river. We'll also visit Monmouth, a centre for tourism since 1780 and known for its iconic 13th century gatehouse bridge.

Day 3 - Full Day Chepstow & Dean Forest Railway

  • Situated in the lower Wye Valley, Chepstow is home to a magnificent castle which towers over the cliff sides of the River Wye. We continue into the beautiful Forest of Dean and enjoy a journey on the Dean Forest Railway. Offering the chance to experience the relaxing pace of a typical country line, the Dean Forest Railway winds its way through this beautifully wooded scenery.

Day 4 - Full Day Gloucestershire & Warwickshire Railway and Broadway

  • Excursion including a journey aboard the Gloucestershire & Warwickshire Railway, a heritage railway that trundles through the scenery of Cotswolds to reach the picture-postcard village of Broadway. A beautiful and historic village which remains today as it has done for centuries, ancient honey-coloured buildings line the streets of the historic 'broad way' High Street.

Day 5 - Return Travel
