A weekend in Wales

2 days For everyone Built from visitor-rated places

♥ Save as my trip

This is a weekend that begins with stone and ends with sky. Day one stays companionable: a morning at Llandovery Castle, where you can wander, read the view and let the trip properly begin, then an afternoon at Dolaucothi Gold Mines, a hillside that rewards curiosity. It suits a slow start, a decent lunch and boots you don't mind scuffing.

Day two swaps walls for open ground. Mornings on The Begwns are all breeze and big horizons, the kind of walking where conversation drifts and nobody checks their phone. Then it's Llanthomas Castle Mound for the afternoon, a gentle, grassy full stop that asks very little of tired legs but still leaves you with something to think about on the drive home. Two days, four places, no rushing.

Day 1

Give the morning to Llandovery Castle at an easy amble, then head to Dolaucothi Gold Mines for the afternoon, when you'll be glad of sturdy footwear and a layer for the hillside air.

Day 2

Start high and breezy on The Begwns while the light is fresh, then wind down at Llanthomas Castle Mound in the afternoon, a softer, slower finish that needs nothing more than comfortable boots and a flask.
