The Roman invasion in Wales was not as comprehensive as in Britain due to its rugged terrain and hostile tribes, but Romans did have some success. Today the south of Wales is dotted with some well preserved Roman sites near major cities like Cardiff (make sure to visit the Cardiff Roman Fort), Brecon (with its impressive Brecon Gaer Fort) - as well as in some cities often overlooked by tourists such as Carmarthen (which has a remarkable Roman Ampitheatre) and Newport (with the beautiful Caerleon Roman Fortress, Baths, and Amphitheatre). If you love history, make sure to add all these sites to your list because with a rental car you can make time for all of them and more!.

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.
