For such a small country Wales really does pack it all in! Mountainous at its heart it is nonetheless a country of winding country lanes, stunning coastal scenery, wonderful wildlife and the friendliest of people.
Pembrokeshire is home to the country’s only coastal national park which includes the dramatic, brooding and beautiful Preseli Hills. Here you find strong Celtic links, pretty seaside towns such Tenby and tiny villages like Solva, castles, stunning, clean and empty beaches and some of the best food in Wales!
In the north, Snowdonia is world famous for its mountain walking, with 100 lakes, 90 mountain peaks, 37 miles of pristine coastline and beaches, moors and wetlands and of course Snowdon, tallest mountain in England and Wales. The Lleyn Peninsula is an 8-mile-wide strip of beauty that has been attracting people for centuries whilst the stunning Brecon Beacons offers traditional market towns, stunning landscapes, canal paths, castles and plenty of family attractions along with wide open spaces and the wild beauty of waterfalls and caves.
The Welsh Marches and border country are different again, Offa’s Dyke, a dozen amazing castles, the Forest of Dean, Hay on Wye, Builth and Llandrindod Wells. Head to south Wales and the capital, Cardiff, and, along the coast, the spectacular Gower Peninsula on Swansea’s doorstep.
There really is something for everyone in the big, little country!
