LEGENDARY WELSH SCENERY
History buffs are well catered for by specialist tour operator Andante Travels, whose expert-led UK trips range from one-day study tours of Northumbrian rock art, to three-day breaks investigating the wartime code-breakers of Bletchley Park. New for 2022 is Mabinogion: Magic Medieval Welsh Myths – a five-day journey around north Wales this June, exploring the region’s archaeological and medieval sites through the lens of the Welsh legends. From crag-top castles and Roman fortresses, to rugged standing stones and windswept beaches, all will be viewed anew in relation to the Mabinogion.
