Wales

With such beautiful valleys, mountain peaks, and shoreline, Wales is considered one of the most picturesque parts of the United Kingdom. The Welsh culture is one that is on display everywhere you look, from the capital, Cardiff, where hundreds of years of history meet modern-day innovation, to the valleys of Glamorgan, to the beautiful north where mountains such as Mount Snowdon are just a short drive away from gorgeous seaside resorts such as Llandudno. Visit the beautiful castles, enjoy hiking and nature-watching, or enjoy such recreational activities as horseback riding and golf. Wales has quite a few options for those looking for a charming and breathtaking getaway.

Cardiff

Cardiff is the capital of Wales, and the epicenter of political, economical, social, and cultural life in Wales. In the early 19th century, the small town of Cardiff was one of the principal ports in the British Empire, and the area around the port is now a noteworthy tourist area which is home to such buildings as the Welsh National Assembly, the Pierhead Building, and the Millennium Centre. Other noteworthy sights include the city's two grand cathedrals, Cardiff Cathedral (Roman Catholic) and Llandaff Cathedral (Anglican), the latter dating from the 12th century. Cardiff Castle was built on the site of a 3rd-century Roman fort; the castle we see today also dates from the 12th century.

Visit Cardiff Castle, Cardiff Bay, St Fagans National Museum of History, National Museum Cardiff, Caerphilly Castle, Wales Millennium Centre, Mermaid Quay, Llandaff Cathedral, Cardiff Cathedral, Pierhead Building, and so much more!

Swansea

Swansea sits on Swansea Bay and the western bank of the River Tawe. The maritime district is home to Swansea Museum, the oldest museum in Wales, as well as the National Waterfront Museum and the museum dedicated to the life of celebrated Welsh poet Dylan Thomas. In the vicinity there are many parks and nature reserves, and the area in and around Swansea is considered one of the most ecologically diverse and beautiful regions of the United Kingdom. The city is situated on the far eastern portion of the Gower Peninsula, the first area of the UK to be named an 'Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty'. Swansea is a popular beach and surfing destination, and is also a hub for nightlife, as is the small seaside community of Mumbles that sits southwest of town.

Visit Swansea Bay, National Waterfront Museum, Mumbles Pier, Oystermouth Castle, Clyne Gardens, Swansea Marina, Swansea Museum, Glynn Vivian Art Gallery, Swansea Castle, Dylan Thomas Birthplace, and so much more!

Pembroke Coast

Jutting out into the Irish Sea, the southwest tip of Wales is an area just begging to be explored, whether on foot, by bike, or by car. Pembroke Coast serves as an excellent base from which to explore the scenic coastlines around the rugged Pembrokeshire Peninsula. Fortunately, much of this spectacular coastline is protected as Pembrokeshire Coast National Park. Established in 1952 and covering an area of 243 square miles, this must-see landscape is notable as Britain's only coastal national park.

Visit Pembrokeshire Coast Path, Whitesands Bay, Oakwood Theme Park, St Davids Cathedral, Preseli Hills, Folly Farm Adventure Park and Zoo and much more.

Aberystwyth

Aberystwyth, meaning the mouth of the river Ystwyth, and commonly and colloquially known simply as 'Aber,' sits smack in the middle of the rugged Ceredigion coastline, making it a perfect short break destination. Located comfortably close to the cathedral city of St Davids in Pembrokeshire and the surfers' haven of Aberdaron at the Western tip of the Llyn Peninsula, it's the obvious base to tour the 180 mile Coastal Way.

Visit the Amgueddfa Ceredigion Museum, Aberystwyth Arts Center, Aberystwyth Beach, Saint Padarn's Church and much more.

Betws-y-Coed (Snowdonia)

Betws-y-Coed is a village in the Conwy valley in the Gwydir Forest and the gateway to the snowy peaks and dazzling lakes of Snowdonia National Park. With spectacular terrain for hiking, biking, and climbing, it's perfect for an action-packed adventure at any time of year. It has a large village green which is the playing field for the local football team.

Visit Saint Michaels Old Church, Pont-y-Pair Bridge, Saint Mary's Church, Fairy Glen River, Llyn Parc Lake and much more.

Llandudno

Llandudno is located on the Irish Sea coast in north Wales, just an hour's drive from Cheshire in the northwest of England. It has been a popular seaside vacation destination since the 1860s. The town is situated on the Creuddyn Peninsula between two headlands: the Great Orme, and the smaller Little Orme. The Victorian promenade which takes visitors to the popular North Shore is called 'The Parade'. Llandudno Pier, which is nearly a half-mile long, is the longest seaside pier in Wales. Mostyn Street, Llandudno's high street, is the place to be as it buzzes with activity day and night. Take in a show at the state-of-the-art Venue Cymru, and definitely don't miss a chance to ride the Llandudno Cable Car up to the summit of the Great Orme.

Visit the Great Orme, Llandudno Pier, Venue Cymru, Mostyn Street, Llandudno Cable Car, Great Orme Tramway, West Shore Beach, Great Orme Mines, Little Orme, North Shore Beach, Llandudno Promenade (The Parade), and so much more!

Brecon

Brecon is a bustling market town at the edge of the glorious Brecon Beacons National Park. It's known for the famous Brecon Jazz Festival, independent shops and cafés, history, military connections and of course, the magnificent cathedral. Brecon is the perfect base for exploring the national park, watersports and fishing in the local rivers, canal and lakes, plus cycling and mountain biking.

Visit Brecon Cathedral, The Regimental Museum of Royal Welsh, Brecon Canal Basin, Llangorse Lake, Y Gaer Museum, Art Gallery and Library and much more.
