Paul Harris of SeeWales.com spoke to me about his company’s sightseeing tours while we were at the Brecon Beacons National Park Visitor Centre.

During the Cardiff leg of the Summer 09 UK Blogging Tour, I went on the SeeWales Mines, Mountains and a Single Malt Whisky day tour. Our first port of call was the Big Pit National Mining Museum, where I found the Underground Tour down the mine fascinating. Next it was off to the Brecon Beacons National Park for a delicious lunch, eaten on the patio of the Visitors Centre Tearoom, followed by a walk to admire the views and a sighting of three wild ponies. Our last stop was at the Penderyn Welsh Whisky Distillery, the only whisky distiller in Wales.

All in all, I had a great day out which encompassed industrial heritage, the great outdoors, lunch with a view and finding out about locally produced spirits.
