New Products Launched For Winter And 2025

Wales Outdoors has been consolidating and re-imagining, working on new tours for 2025 and a new tour that we have made available from December 2024.

Along with our regular guided hikes in Wales we have added a few more, bookable as private hikes for groups. These include Sunset on Pen y Fan, King Arthurs Wye Valley and Foraging and Batmans Waterfall.

We have added a new guided tour, this a Cardiff City Centre walking tour and we think something a little different, so a darker history of the capital of Wales and one that best suits the dark nights of winter.

This professionally guided Cardiff walking tour, led by a Wales Official Tourist Guide, sees us visiting, over the two hours and two miles walked, some of the major landmarks as well as locations infamous for dark deeds, hauntings and miscarriages of justice.

By the end of the tour, you will have a mental map of the city centre, and some tall tales told that will certainly not ease you into a good nights sleep… But that’s what this tour is all about! Unsettling tales and spooky occurrences. You will be regaled with stories of murders, restless spirits, the innocent hanged and of people that disappeared, never to be seen again…

The tour begins at the main entrance of Cardiff Castle and ends two hours later, just over the road from the castle entrance, at The Rummer, Cardiff’s most haunted pub. Here, you are invited to remain for a pint with your guide, or you can continue your exploration of Cardiff on your own… If you dare ;)

Your guide is a professional with a keen interest in the darker histories of Wales. Qualified as a guide through the Wales Official Tourist Guide Association your guide has a grounding in the history and culture of Wales. On this tour we look at the central area of the city of Cardiff and hear tall tales of its darker past...

And sticking with guided tours, we have duplicated all of our tours and made them available for private bookings.

That will be it for the time being although we are still looking at working out how we can begin again to deliver regular mountain hikes, aimed at locals and those keen hikers from further afield. These will be priced at a much reduced rate, to encourage repeat attendance and a social, walking group feel. We think that this can be achieved through a wholly owned social site and we are looking at options for this. Watch this space ;)

You can book our walks through the Wales Outdoors Website.
