Kevendys Coach Holidays & Short Breaks 2017

Cardiff and the Royal Mint
Cardiff has an abundance of attractions, culture and leisure facilities – and
it's all so easily accessible. There's the fairytale castle, the famous millennium
stadium and acres of lush parkland, along with first class shopping facilities
Day 1 We make a lengthy stop in Newbury to
enable you to purchase refreshments before
we continue to our hotel for our four-night stay.
Day 2 Today we visit The Royal Mint. The Mint
evolved to become a sophisticated industrial
concern operating today as a government
company. The 1100 or so years of its existence
track the history of Britain through its wars and
political upheavals, its social and economic
progress, its technological and scientific
advances. Its history is in short woven into that
of Britain itself. We gain a fascinating insight
into the history of the Royal Mint, the
technological advances that over centuries
have made minting to such exacting standards
possible. Learn about the role of the people
at the heart of this great institution; from the
artists and engravers, to the Royal Mint
officials, to the highly skilled production
workers. In the afternoon we return to Cardiff
for a Guided tour by coach.
Day 3 Today is a free day for you to explore
Cardiff at your own leisure. Why not visit the
Bay area comprising of a number of shops,
restaurants and the Millennium Centre or
the newly developed shopping centre and
traditional Victorian arcades. You could also
visit the stunning Cardiff Castle, the National
Museum or even the Doctor Who Experience
(local charges apply).
Day 4 Today we spend the day at St. Fagans,
which is one of Europe's leading open-air
museums and Wales's most popular heritage
attraction. The museum stands in the grounds
of the magnificent St. Fagans Castle and
gardens, a late 16th-century manor house
donated to the people of Wales by the Earl
of Plymouth. Since 1948 over forty original
buildings from different historical periods have
been re-erected in the 100-acre parkland,
among them houses, a farm, a school, a
chapel and a splendid Workmen’s Institute.
Traditional crafts and activities bring St. Fagans
alive, in workshops where craftsmen still
demonstrate their traditional skills. Their
produce is usually on sale. Native breeds of
livestock can be seen in the fields and
farmyards, and demonstrations of farming
tasks take place daily. You will gain an insight
into the rich heritage and culture of Wales, and
the Welsh language can be heard in daily use
amongst craftsmen and interpreters.
Day 5 We return home via Marlow to enable
you to purchase refreshments before we start
the last leg of our homeward journey.
