Three excursions for 2009. There’s no extra charge - so there’s no excuse for not going.

1.  HAY 0N WYE

A tour up through the heart of rural Monmouthshire and Herefordshire to the wonderful world of second-hand books which is the border town of Hay-on-Wye. With just one hour and a half in Hay, we’ll hardly be doing it justice - but as promised this is another chance to visit a few more of those places you missed this year. Whatever you do don’t get so lost in the books that you miss the bus back to Caerleon.

2.  ...DAY TRIP TO BARRY ISLAND (or GAVIN AND STACEY COUNTRY!)

Don your handkerchief, roll up your trousers, unfold your deck-chair, this is your chance to visit the sea-side! Now made popular by the mad GAVIN & STACEY, why not spend an hour or two on the beach, fun-fair, or just Gavin and Stacey Spotting whilst eating your toffee-apple or struggling with your candy-floss!

3.  WELSH COUNTRY AND FOLK MUSEUM AT ST. FAGANS

This is an absolutely fabulous afternoon insight into the history of Wales, with hundreds of exhibits from the old rural cottage, toll booths, through to working cottage industries. It is impossible to do justice to this expansive attraction in a few hours and this is our third visit to the museum in five years. Catch it this time because we will not be visiting it again next year.      

Alternatively, you can stay in Caerleon and enjoy the peace.
