Overview

You travel in a luxurious fully electric vehicle, limited to a maximum of seven passengers, in the company of your guide, Andy, who is a Mountain Leader and a Green Badged Tourist Guide.

This tour includes two or perhaps three guided tours at these attractions:

Penderyn Whisky
Rhondda Heritage Park
Castell Coch

South Wales is geologically 'lucky', having all elements required to fuel the industrial revolution, iron, coal, limestone and silica rock. From the 1750's iron boom through the 1850's to the 1980's when coal was king, South Wales was a hive of activity, smelting, mining and developing technologies to improve production.

We look at this history, its effects upon the landscape and people who laboured so hard and also at those who profited from that labour.

We'll also have a look at the scenic beauty of the Brecon Beacons which lie to the north, on the fringes of the coalfields, and how the mining communities are recovering, post the closure of the mines in the 1990's.
