1. The Brecon Beacons National Park
The picturesque Brecon Beacons National Park is a natural paradise for the whole family. There are trails and outdoor activities to suit all ages and fitness levels. Particularly interesting for children are the dinosaur exhibition and a reconstructed Ice Age village.
2. The Pembrokeshire Coast National Park
The Pembrokeshire Coast National Park consists mainly of coastal landscapes that invite you to relax in the fresh air. Show your children the breeding colonies of seabirds, the Iron Age fort of Castell Henllys or the smallest town in England, St. Davids.
3 Aberystwyth
Charming Aberystwyth looks like something out of a picture book. Enjoy swimming on the beaches lined with colorful little houses or enjoy the view from the giant camera obscura on Constitution Hill. Another highlight are the Iron Age ruins of Pen Dinas.
4. Portmeirion
From the village of Portmeirion, which is often used as a backdrop for TV shoots, you can explore Snowdonia National Park. Here you will find the highest mountain in Wales and activities such as ziplining, tobogganing and white water rafting. You can also visit castles in the area.

The most beautiful places for a vacation with children
Cardiff
As the capital of Wales, Cardiff naturally has numerous exciting activities on offer for young and old. The city's landmark, Cardiff Castle, is a must-see. Here you can immerse yourself in the local history of the past centuries and marvel at the extravagant interior.
The interactive science museum Techniquest also promises lots of fun. You will find a wide variety of exhibitions on art and natural history at the National Museum.
Anglesey
Anglesey is a beautiful island off the north coast of Wales, offering plenty of room for kids to run around and explore. With about 125 miles of coastline, you'll find lots of family-friendly beaches where you can swim in calm waters or try out water sports.
Take a walk through peaceful forests, visit Llynon Mill — the only working windmill in Wales — spend an afternoon at the local zoo, or step back in time at the medieval Beaumaris Castle.
Llangrannog
Llangrannog is considered by Welsh people to be one of the best places for a vacation with children. This is mainly due to the Urdd Centre and its neighboring beach. In front of the uniquely shaped rock Carreg Bica, which according to legend is the tooth of a giant, you can swim and play in the sand in peace and quiet.
There are also a variety of activities on offer here, such as climbing, go-karting and horse riding.
