A virtual tour through South Wales from Chepstow to Worm’s Head looking at industrial history that sits among a more ancient landscape

South Wales was transformed by the industrial revolution, and its mines and factories equipped the world and made towns like Cardiff and Swansea rich. But South Wales has its own beautiful coast with its own mysteries and legends.

Our journey starts at Chepstow Castle, one of the most scenic castles in Wales. We will take in Roman remains and a Medieval Ship, look at iron works that transformed the modern world. We’ll take in the docks at Cardiff and some of the earliest railways in Britain and take a trip to an island that housed cholera patients. And finally we will end up on the Gower Peninsular for one of Britain’s most beautiful views

This is a live virtual tour hosted via Zoom video conferencing where your guide will give an illustrated presentation of the tour route with an accompanying talk. There will be opportunities for questions and interaction both during and after the virtual tour.
