Where to Go on Vacation in Wales
Snowdonia National Park
If you love hiking and the great outdoors, then plan sure to visit Snowdonia National Park during your Wales vacation. Located in northwest Wales, this extraordinary area of national beauty is home to glacial landscapes, endless lakes, and numerous peaks that offer great views of the Irish Sea. If you prefer to take a more leisurely approach, jump aboard the Snowdon Mountain Railway Tour, which ascends to the top of Wales’ highest mountain.
Cardiff
Cardiff is the capital city of Wales, and is a destination in its own right. This energetic city is the primary gateway to Wales, with an international airport and frequent trains to London. If you’re interested in history, visit Fagans National Museum of History, which provides a great introduction to Welsh history and culture. Cardiff is also a great place for shopping, if you’re looking to pick up some gifts during your vacation.
Conwy
Located on the north coast of Wales, Conwy is one of the most interesting towns in Wales, and perfect for those with an interest in medieval history. Conwy boasts its own town walls and a truly massive 13th-century fortification called Conwy Castle, which played a pivotal part in several walls. You’ll be amazed by how well the castle has been restored, and how it towers impressively over the town.
St. David’s
If you want to visit a quaint, peaceful destination for some rest and relaxation during your Wales vacation, then St. David’s is perfect for you. This tiny, secluded city (the smallest in the United Kingdom) is home to one of the country’s most beautiful cathedral, which is the resting place of Saint David, the patron saint of Wales. There are also a number of sandy beaches, medieval ruins, and old chapels in the area, which is the most westerly point in Wales.
Brecon Beacons
If you’re looking for excellent hiking trails, mountain biking, and other outdoor pursuits, then the Brecon Beacons National Park is a great place to travel to. Prepare to be mesmerized by the forest walks, which lead you to hidden lakes, sudden ridges, and amazing vistas. The Brecon Beacons are located in the south central region of Wales, making them very accessible by car from Cardiff.
Tenby
Tenby is one of the most desirable villages in Wales, and for good reason. It impresses visitors with its 13th-century town walls, harborside eateries, and extensive stretches of sandy shoreline. It’s a great choice for families and those looking to spend time on the beach while on vacation in Wales. Less
