Our fifth Great Rail Journey holiday which we enjoyed until the last day which turned into a disaster. Our scheduled visit to Llangollen was changed at the last minute to Aberglasney Gardens and Brecon. We elected to cut our losses and return home after a cold and wet walk around the gardens missing the final evening dinner etc.

It really was good value for money, the places were fascinating to visit and it managed to be safely carried out with current pandemic restrictions in place.

Terrible mix up about the Tallyllyn departure time ruined the day, and the trip to Aberdovey abandoned. Otherwise apart from the very long coach journeys everything was fine, especially the Elan dams [but more time needed at the visitor centre] and the Llangollen railway.

It was good that they managed to put a tour together at all under the circumstances. I only wish it had been longer. Hotel was excellent as was the coah company and the service throughout.

Nothing really special happened. Railways were of average interest and the hotel room did not rate four stars
