Wales Outdoors

About Us

We’ve been involved in tourism in Wales since opening the first mountain bike hire and guiding business in the Brecon Beacons - Bannau Brychieniog, oh so long ago… Wales Outdoors developed into an adventure activity company of note and is now focused on guided walks and historic car based tours of Wales.

Croeso i Gymru! Welcome to Wales!

Andy is the main man, delivering guided walks and guided tours in Wales. Andy is both a Mountain Leader and a Green Badge Tourist Guide, has been a Brecon Beacons National Park part time warden, chair of Brecon Beacons Tourism, a Duke of Edinburgh's Award Co-ordinator and is a keen part time historian . Andy is supported by his partner Kate on some hikes and then there is Graham, the foraging specialist extraordinaire and Chris a mountain leader who lives in Mid Wales. We have a network of sessional leaders that we call in at busy periods or for large groups.

Gone are the days of large groups and vicarious activities. We decided some time ago to deliver only small group hikes and tours in Wales. It's safer, allows for good engagement and you, the clients, very much appreciate this approach. It's good for the environment too...

Yes, we've been about since 1995 and the sun is not about to set upon us yet ;) From mountain biking, through most adventure activities, youth provision and overseas holidays, we've been a huge part of the landscape of guiding in Wales. Amongst other things Wales Outdoors is responsible for the development of the Environmental Charter for activity providers in the Brecon Beacons National Park and for SWOAPG, the coordinating group for all activity provision in South and Mid Wales.
