Why we love Wales

When we say that Wales has more castles per square mile than anywhere else in Europe, you already start to picture the beauty of the Welsh landscape. Add its rugged coastline, stunning beaches, lush valleys and mountainous National Parks, and the image of this intensely beautiful Celtic country is almost complete.

But scratch further beneath the surface, and you’ll uncover a nation bursting with adventure. Zoom through the air on an exhilarating ride on the world’s fastest zip wire in Snowdonia (Eryri). Or, discover the nation’s depths on a subterranean caving tour, and hit the waves on some of Britain’s most spectacular coastline.

Did you know that Wales plays a leading role in some of your favourite films and TV shows? Maybe you’ll recognise it from Doctor Who, House of the Dragon or Sex Education. Now go behind the scenes to see the real stars of the show. Take a stroll along Pembrokeshire’s Freshwater West Beach, the backdrop to Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, or admire Bodnant Garden’s blooms, as seen in The Secret Garden. Ready to explore these A-list landscapes?

No matter where your Welsh adventure goes, you’ll see that Wales may be small, but it’s certainly mighty.

Our favourite experiences in Wales

Wales’ hidden gem

Can we let you in on a secret? Ceredigion(opens in a new tab) offers a crowd-free summer escape, where adventure awaits you along its unspoilt coastline. Its biggest town Aberystwyth – with its pastel-hued houses and vibrant arts scene – will act as your transport hub. From here, catch the bus to explore the rest of the county. Picture-perfect New Quay will surprise you with its golden beaches and abundant wildlife. Head out on a New Quay Boat Trip(opens in a new tab) for the chance to spot bottlenose dolphins, porpoises, grey seals and countless sea birds. Get your adrenaline pumping with a visit to Adventure Beyond(opens in a new tab) in Cardigan Bay, and try your hand at anything from white water tubing to sea kayaking. And for a well-deserved tipple, In The Welsh Wind(opens in a new tab) distillery offers gin tasting and making sessions, as well as a bar fully stocked with their very own spirits.
