The Royal Mint Experience

This visitor experience involves a 45-minute guided tour, including a look inside the factory where the UK's coins are minted, and a museum you can walk around at your own pace.

Hay-on-Wye

Straddling the Welsh-English border, this town flanked by the River Wye and the Black Mountains is best known for its many bookshops and annual literary festival.

London: Wellcome Collection

This museum houses a series of unusual objects collected by Victorian philanthropist Henry Wellcome. Its permanent collection explores the human body, science and medicine.

Llandudno

The Victorian seaside town on the north Wales coast may be a little frayed in parts, but it's still an attractive and appealing place.

Bath

Famed for its Roman Baths, Georgian pump room and gorgeous Regency architecture, Bath is a compact, picture-perfect city.

Southerndown

Nestled in the shadows of the golden yellow limestone and shale cliffs of Wales's ancient Jurassic coastline, the sandy beach of Dunraven Bay only emerges when the tide is out.

Chepstow Castle

This impressive and sprawling Norman castle sits high on a cliff overlooking the River Wye on the border between England and Wales.

Bletchley Park

The centre of Britain's code-breaking activities during the Second World War is a fascinating place and well worth a visit.

Crickhowell

This attractive market town on the banks of the River Usk is surrounded by the Bannau Brycheiniog National Park and is a great base from which to explore the nearby countryside.
