Wales
Land of ancient myths and Celtic legends, Wales is a small and compact country boasting a diverse landscape, from lakes and mountains, rivers and valleys to beautiful coastlines and rolling wooded countryside. It offers superb opportunities for an active holiday.
What to see in Wales
Wales’ biggest asset is undoubtedly its countryside, home to three National Parks that make up almost a quarter of the country’s total area. Snowdonia National Park in the north combines dramatic mountain scenery with glacial valleys, lakes and streams, while in the south the Brecon Beacons boast mountains, moorlands, forests and wooded gorges with deep caves. The surrounding area of the Wye Valley on the borders with England is a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty; as are the Gower Peninsula, the Lleyn Peninsula, the Anglesey Coast and the Clwydian Range.
The endless miles of largely unspoilt and beautiful Pembrokeshire coastline in the west have some of the finest long beaches in Europe, with pretty little bays plus the lively traditional seaside resorts of Tenby and Whitesand. Further inland is the secluded and pretty Gwaun Valley.
The capital of Wales, Cardiff, has many attractions, including its newly developed waterfront, the Millennium Stadium. Castles can be seen all over Wales, ranging from tiny stone keeps to huge medieval fortresses; some of the best preserved are Caernarfon, Conwy and Harlech, all built by Edward I.

WALES FOR WATERSPORTS
Wales for watersports
Whatever is on your watery wishlist, Wales might be a good place to look for it. World class beaches mean water, seaside in most cases, and here you will find a dizzying array of aquatic activities: sailing, windsurfing, kayaking, paddle boarding, surfing, canoeing and kite surfing, just for starters. For many, their motorhome, campervan or motorcaravan is the perfect way to indulge in these activities – the perfect way to travel independently with all necessary kit on board.
Inland there are the tumbling rivers with their own appeal for canoeing and canyoning, or more peaceful waters for messing about in a boat.
OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES IN WALES
