Take a Heritage Break and discover the Wisdom of the Valleys

Use this site to take a tour of this fascinating region, steeped in heritage and history. Although better known for their industrial heritage the South Wales Valleys are now mostly rolling green hills ripe for discovery.

Whilst on your travels you can discover the truth about the heroes of the Industrial Revolution, read spine chilling stories about haunted houses and castles, select one of the stimulating activities available, visit an art gallery or explore the spectacular walking and hiking country. Alternatively why not delve into your family history and find out if you have Welsh roots like Tommy Cooper and the Osmonds who have strong family connections with this ‘land of song'

All this is complemented by a variety of good quality places serving fine food and drink plus a wide range of excellent accommodation, all inspected and graded to ensure you book in with confidence. Visit the accommodation section now and book your holiday. You'll be surprised to find that the South Wales Valleys are very accessible from most regions throughout the UK.
