One of the many highlights of a tour with Welsh Overland Safari is Richards knowledge of countless stories of local myth and legends. Find out the story of Twrch Trwyth, which can also be found in the Around and About Builth Wells publication.

Spring is almost upon us, the nights are getting lighter and even daffodils are starting to pop up! Therefore Richard is getting ready for another busy season of Welsh Overland Safari tours.

In preparation Richard has shared some of the highlights of the Cwm Graid Ddu (Black Rock) to Brecon Beacons tour, which featured in the recent Around and About Builth Wells Winter 2021 edition;

What better way to start our first blog post of 2020 on providing an introduction to the Cambrian Mountains!

The third we are featuring is Soar y Mynydd Chapel, which if nothing else set in the heart of the Cambrian Mountains is one of the highlights of the Abergwesyn Pass tour.

Touted the “most remote chapel” in the whole of Wales on route to the chapel Richard will point out on the tour you also pass the “most remote telephone box” in Wales also!

We are pleased to announce we have put a date in the diary for a special Mothers day tour on Sunday 31st March.

The second Church we have choose the feature is St Martin’s Church in Cwmyoy near Abergavenny titled the Leaning Tower of Mid Wales and can with can be visited on our Eastern Beacons tour!

You may have seen the Guardian and Observer recently gave the Heart of Wales line some much needed publicity last weekend. Although we were pleased to see that the 122 mile railway line that runs through the very “heart” of Wales from Craven Arms all the way to South Wales was given the platform to reach millions of readers throughout the UK (and the world) we were rather disappointed that many parts of and highlights linked to the line were not included. However rather than dwell on that fact we thought we would compliment the article by listing 5 other things you can see and do along the Heart of Wales railway line!

So in the mini series we will feature a church or chapel on our tours. The first of which is the Church of St Mary the Virgin in Capel-y-Ffin near Hay on Wye!

One of Europe’s oldest mountain ranges, the Cambrian Mountains of Wales, has launched its first ever visitor map and it features Welsh Overland Safari!

On Sunday 21st October 2018, Richard guided the Wye Life walking and camera club on their second Welsh Overland experience!

What a great open tour of waterfall country in the Brecon Beacons National Park!

Don't just take our word for it!

We are delighted to announce our second Open Tour of the Autumn!

On Sunday the 28th October Richard will be taking an open tour on the very popular Abergwesyn Pass tour!

On Tuesday 2nd October Richard took part in a Brecon Beacons National Park course to maintain his ambassador status for the next 12 months.

We have had a very few May tours;

Three highlights were:

- We took Mr & Mrs Phillips on the Abergwesyn Pass tour - their son had brought them vouchers for a tour for Christmas

On Saturday 16th June we are holding a special Father's day tour of the Elan Valley, near Rhayader to celebrate the day specially reserved for your dad AND we still have a couple of places remaining!

As you will probably already know Wales is packed full of myths and legends from north to south, from east to west. However on our Abbeys tour Richard will tell you the story of the left leg of Henry Hughes Cooper buried at Saint Mary's Church near Strata Florida....

We are delighted to announce the first four open tours for visitors to book on as solo travellers or as friends!

Following our recent trip with the Wye life and Hereford walking and camera club we caught up with budding member Sara Ayliffe to find out about her experience as part of the trip.

It was great to take a group of like minded walkers and photographers on a tour of waterfall county. Although the group was far bigger than a group we've taken out before, I think everyone enjoyed it and there have been plenty of amazing pictures flying around facebook already and I'm sure more will follow. Hopefully the group will be keen for another tour later in the year

The six nations is in full swing and although the result didn't go our way at the weekend there is a lot still to play for!

On the subject of Rugby, the national sport of Wales we were honoured to take ex professional rugby union player Jason Chandler on a tour earlier in the year.
