]]> Nestled in the rugged landscapes of the United Kingdom, Wales beckons travelers with its rich history, stunning natural beauty, and vibrant cultural heritage. From ancient castles to majestic mountains and picturesque coastlines, Wales offers a wealth of experiences for adventurers seeking exploration and discovery. Here are three reasons to pack your bags and visit Wales.

Rich History and Heritage

Wales is steeped in history, with a legacy that spans millennia and is reflected in its impressive array of historic sites and cultural landmarks. Explore the majestic castles that dot the Welsh landscape, from the imposing fortresses of Caernarfon, Conwy, and Harlech to the romantic ruins of Tintern Abbey and Raglan Castle. Discover the ancient stone circles and burial chambers of Anglesey and the Brecon Beacons, where you can trace the footsteps of early settlers and unravel the mysteries of Wales’ prehistoric past. Immerse yourself in the tales of legendary figures such as King Arthur and the Welsh princes, whose exploits are woven into the fabric of Welsh folklore and tradition.

Stunning Natural Landscapes

Wales is blessed with some of the most breathtaking natural landscapes in the United Kingdom, from rugged mountains and verdant valleys to dramatic coastlines and pristine beaches. Explore the wild beauty of Snowdonia National Park, home to the highest peak in Wales and a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts seeking hiking, climbing, and mountain biking adventures. Discover the enchanting landscapes of the Brecon Beacons, where rolling hills, hidden waterfalls, and ancient forests await exploration. Explore the picturesque coastline of Pembrokeshire, where rugged cliffs, sandy beaches, and hidden coves provide a stunning backdrop for coastal walks, wildlife watching, and beachcombing.

Vibrant Culture and Traditions

Wales boasts a vibrant cultural scene, with a rich tapestry of music, art, literature, and traditions that celebrate the country’s unique identity and heritage. Explore the lively streets of Cardiff, the capital city, where you can immerse yourself in the vibrant arts and music scene, visit world-class museums and galleries, and experience the warmth and hospitality of the Welsh people. Discover the rich musical heritage of Wales, where traditional folk music and singing are deeply ingrained in the culture and celebrated through festivals, concerts, and Eisteddfods (traditional music and poetry competitions). Experience the thrill of watching a rugby match at the Principality Stadium, where the passion and camaraderie of Welsh rugby fans are legendary.

]]> The capital city of Wales in the UK is a buzzing hub of creativity, culture, and color. From the renovated docklands to the thriving city center, check out three of the best things to see and do if you’re spending time in the Welsh capital. 

Cardiff Castle

If you’re a history fan, make a beeline to the fantastic Cardiff Castle in the city center. There has been activity at this site for over 2000 years, and Victorian improvements in its architecture have given the castle a dramatic, ornate feel. You will need to pay to access the interior but the large, landscaped grounds are free.

Explore the City Docks

The docklands demonstrate Cardiff’s industrial past, although recent renovations and changes mean that this area feels cosmopolitan and exciting. The docks are a great place to grab a bite to eat as there are plenty of trendy bars, or simply enjoy a waterside stroll.

National Museum of Cardiff

This centrally located museum is free to enter and contains many fascinating exhibits about Welsh history, language, and culture. There are plenty of child-friendly interactive displays, plus a wonderful on-site cafe so you can spend a whole morning or afternoon here with your little ones.

]]> Wales is an interesting and varied country, with stunning stretches of coastline, misty moorland, and beautiful mountains. If you’re keen to visit this history-drenched nation but feel unsure of where to start, this list offers you some of the best towns, beaches, and rural escapes to explore.

Hay-On-Wye

This charming town is just within the Welsh border, so makes a great day trip from English cities such as Bristol or Birmingham. Known as the world’s first town of books, Hay offers a wealth of book emporiums to explore. Once you’re done browsing the shelves, head to one of the many cafes for Welsh delicacies such as bara brith (fruit cake with butter) or Welsh scones (fruit-filled griddle cakes). If you’re feeling adventurous, a 15-minute drive out of town will take you to Hay Bluff, a steep, impressive hill with views across England and Wales.

Tenby

Located at the far western edge of the Gower, the stretch of coastline running along the south of Wales, Tenby is a lovely town. With views out to sea from almost anywhere, keep an eye out for harbor seals or even dolphins swimming by. The brightly colored houses are postcard-perfect, and there are many cafes and restaurants (with that all-important sea view). There are some excellent coastal walks just a few miles from Tenby, so if you tire of the town make sure to check out these.

Porthmadog

This Victorian town has the best of both worlds, being very close to the sea but also within sight of Snowdonia National Park. Visit with a car or transport, so you can take trips out to the mountains and explore other nearby towns and villages. Most of the residents of this area are Welsh speakers, so you will really get a sense of a different culture.

]]> Wales is known for its gorgeous landscapes. Between the rugged coastlines, mountainous national parks, and rolling hills, the Great Britain country is full of natural beauty and much of it can be found in its small towns. These towns may be small, but they’re full of unparalleled beauty that few places around the world, let alone Europe, can match.

Conwy

This town has more castles per square mile than anywhere else in Europe and alongside Conway Castle, is the Smallest House in Great Britain. The house is just 72 inches wide and the last person to live in it was a local fisherman who was 6 foot 3. The Plas Mawr, which is one of the finest surviving Elizabethan townhouses in Britain, is also worth a visit.

Menai Bridge (Porthaethwy)

Menai Bridge is set against the Snowdonia Mountains, the gorgeous water, green coastline, and the Menai Bridge. Take a stroll along the Belgian Promenade, visit St Tysilio’s Church on Church Island, and marvel at Thomas Telford’s 98-foot suspension bridge. If you’re up to it, check out Menai Straits’ whirlpools and shipwrecks.

Beaumaris

Enjoy the mountains and coast at the same time at Beaumaris. The town’s most prized attraction is the Beaumaris Castle, which also happens to be a UNESCO World Heritage Site. There’s also the town jail, which is now a museum and it’s believed to be haunted.

It’s Around 4,000 Years Old

Welsh comes from the Celtic language and it’s around 4,000 years old. This makes it one of the oldest languages in Europe that’s still in use!

20 Ways to Say Yes

There are 20 different ways to say yes in the Welsh language. Which one is used depends on the context—what’s the question, who’s being asked, and which tense the answer is in. There is, however, only one word for no— “no”.

It’s Very Difficult to Learn

The resources for learning Welsh are quite limited compared to other languages and it’s also very difficult to learn. There are many things learners struggle with and one of them is how to make certain words plural. There are some other things that make Welsh difficult and new learners never expect them, which can be frustrating.

There’s a big number of great beaches along Wales’ coastline that’s yet to be discovered by travelers around the world. Here are some that we love.

Aberffraw, Anglesey

Aberffraw is a long, sandy beach rich with wildlife dunes. It’s only accessible by foot along the River Ffraw bank, which makes discovering it even more special. The views here are incredible!

Traeth Soden, Ceredigion

If you ask the locals, you’ll learn that there’s something called Secret Beach at the end of this beautiful valley. You can get to it at low tide or swim to it if you’re feeling brave.

Porth Wen, Anglesey

Visit this ancient island and its beautiful beaches if you’re in a mood for a unique experience. You can enjoy the view of the hidden bay from the ruins of an old brickworks or visit an old harbor and explore its beehives.

]]> Wales is a little country in the United Kingdom that often gets overlooked since it’s up against so many other amazing countries and cities in Britain. But, if you take the time to visit, you will have such a magical experience in this gorgeous slice of heaven. Cardiff is the capital and is said to have been inhabited since 6000 BC! If you want to explore this historic and vibrant city, there’s plenty of Cardiff for everyone.

What to Do

Cardiff Castle is one of the most famous sites in the city, so it’s a must-see. The castle was built over 2000 years ago, although it has been renovated many times, but the moat that surrounds it remains original and was built in the 11th century! The castle is right in the city center, so it is super easy to access.

If you're like me and you hate people in your photos then I would suggest staying away from Cardiff Castle on a Saturday! Foolish mistake on my part. My goodness it was busy… a never ending stream of people walking up and down the castle steps. It only took me an entire evening to remove them in Photoshop 🙈 My stories will give you an idea. . . . russellfinch.com . . . #cardiffcastle #igerswales #visitwales #walesshots #exploringwales #beautifulwales #discovercymru #thewalescollective #castles_oftheworld #castlesofwales #walesonline #ruinedcastle #bestunitedkingdom #bestoflenses #lovegreatbritain #govisitbritain #lifeoftheuk #ukshooters #capturingbritain #ukshots #ukscenery #placestovisit #gloriousbritain #genuinebritain #cardiffshooters #theadventurecollective #bbcwalesnews #epic_castles

A post shared by Russell Finch (@russell.finch) on

St. Fagans National History Museum is another well-known site in Cardiff and is most definitely worth a visit. St. Fagans isn’t a normal museum, but actually a living museum! When you go, you can see people doing normal crafts, trades, and chores from historical eras, and even farm animals that are raised on the premises! The museum covers over 100 acres and also hosts a lot of events and festivals, but the very best part is that’s totally free! It’s really the perfect activity for people of all ages.

For an interesting shopping experience, visit one of Cardiff’s many arcades! These arcades aren’t the ones with games, but instead, Victorian buildings that house adorable shops and boutiques. The buildings themselves are really elaborate and beautiful, and the perfect place to even just window shop.

Since Cardiff is a coastal city, do be sure to take advantage of the location! To enjoy some proper fish and chips and see more Victorian-era architecture, go down to the Penarth Pier. The pier was first built in the late 19th century and has shops and stunning sea views.

The National Museum of Cardiff is another place you have to hit. This museum is huge and full of exciting exhibits about zoology, anthropology, archaeology, and more! What’s even nicer about it is that admission is free, so enjoy a day there and save some money while you’re at it.

If you need a little break from city life, you can always pop over to Brute Park to enjoy the natural landscape of Wales. Located right in the middle of Cardiff, you can kick back next to the River Taff and take a load off.

Dining and Nightlife

If you want to experience the oldest standing pub in Cardiff, you have to go to Rummer Tavern. This bar has been opened since 1713 and is right next to the Cardiff Castle, so after you’ve taken a look around, pop over to Rummer Tavern for a pint.

For a dining experience that’s totally unique, you have to go to Chapel 1877. This restaurant is actually inside a converted chapel, which makes for a really interesting and definitely romantic evening with incredible classic fare.

The Clink is another restaurant that goes beyond just serving traditional but high-end Welsh food. The Clink is actually run by inmates to help them train to be in the hospitality business after they’re released from prison.

There’s a big number of great beaches along Wales’ coastline that’s yet to be discovered by travelers around the world. Here are some that we love.

Aberffraw, Anglesey

Aberffraw is a long, sandy beach rich with wildlife dunes. It’s only accessible by foot along the River Ffraw bank, which makes discovering it even more special. The views here are incredible!

Traeth Soden, Ceredigion

If you ask the locals, you’ll learn that there’s something called Secret Beach at the end of this beautiful valley. You can get to it at low tide or swim to it if you’re feeling brave.

Porth Wen, Anglesey

Visit this ancient island and its beautiful beaches if you’re in a mood for a unique experience. You can enjoy the view of the hidden bay from the ruins of an old brickworks or visit an old harbor and explore its beehives.

]]> Wales is a little country in the United Kingdom that often gets overlooked since it’s up against so many other amazing countries and cities in Britain. But, if you take the time to visit, you will have such a magical experience in this gorgeous slice of heaven. Cardiff is the capital and is said to have been inhabited since 6000 BC! If you want to explore this historic and vibrant city, there’s plenty of Cardiff for everyone.

What to Do

Cardiff Castle is one of the most famous sites in the city, so it’s a must-see. The castle was built over 2000 years ago, although it has been renovated many times, but the moat that surrounds it remains original and was built in the 11th century! The castle is right in the city center, so it is super easy to access.

If you're like me and you hate people in your photos then I would suggest staying away from Cardiff Castle on a Saturday! Foolish mistake on my part. My goodness it was busy… a never ending stream of people walking up and down the castle steps. It only took me an entire evening to remove them in Photoshop 🙈 My stories will give you an idea. . . . russellfinch.com . . . #cardiffcastle #igerswales #visitwales #walesshots #exploringwales #beautifulwales #discovercymru #thewalescollective #castles_oftheworld #castlesofwales #walesonline #ruinedcastle #bestunitedkingdom #bestoflenses #lovegreatbritain #govisitbritain #lifeoftheuk #ukshooters #capturingbritain #ukshots #ukscenery #placestovisit #gloriousbritain #genuinebritain #cardiffshooters #theadventurecollective #bbcwalesnews #epic_castles

St. Fagans National History Museum is another well-known site in Cardiff and is most definitely worth a visit. St. Fagans isn’t a normal museum, but actually a living museum! When you go, you can see people doing normal crafts, trades, and chores from historical eras, and even farm animals that are raised on the premises! The museum covers over 100 acres and also hosts a lot of events and festivals, but the very best part is that’s totally free! It’s really the perfect activity for people of all ages.

For an interesting shopping experience, visit one of Cardiff’s many arcades! These arcades aren’t the ones with games, but instead, Victorian buildings that house adorable shops and boutiques. The buildings themselves are really elaborate and beautiful, and the perfect place to even just window shop.

Since Cardiff is a coastal city, do be sure to take advantage of the location! To enjoy some proper fish and chips and see more Victorian-era architecture, go down to the Penarth Pier. The pier was first built in the late 19th century and has shops and stunning sea views.

The National Museum of Cardiff is another place you have to hit. This museum is huge and full of exciting exhibits about zoology, anthropology, archaeology, and more! What’s even nicer about it is that admission is free, so enjoy a day there and save some money while you’re at it.

If you need a little break from city life, you can always pop over to Brute Park to enjoy the natural landscape of Wales. Located right in the middle of Cardiff, you can kick back next to the River Taff and take a load off.

Dining and Nightlife

If you want to experience the oldest standing pub in Cardiff, you have to go to Rummer Tavern. This bar has been opened since 1713 and is right next to the Cardiff Castle, so after you’ve taken a look around, pop over to Rummer Tavern for a pint.

For a dining experience that’s totally unique, you have to go to Chapel 1877. This restaurant is actually inside a converted chapel, which makes for a really interesting and definitely romantic evening with incredible classic fare.

The Clink is another restaurant that goes beyond just serving traditional but high-end Welsh food. The Clink is actually run by inmates to help them train to be in the hospitality business after they’re released from prison.

]]> The new season of Sex Education left us with a lot of food for thought, but if you’re a passionate traveler, its stunning filming locations are probably the only thing you’re thinking about. Here’s a couple of breathtaking spots from this teen series you can visit right now.

Margam Castle

Adam didn’t stick around in military school for too long, but it was just enough time for the viewers to fall in love with stunning Margam Castle where these scenes were filmed. This Victorian-era country house is located in Wales, and it’s pretty popular with paranormal investigation groups.

University of South Wales

Caerleon Campus at the University of South Wales served as the setting for all the scenes at Moordale Secondary School, and you don’t have to be one of its students to pay it a visit.

Forrest of Dean

Nature lovers will have a blast exploring filming locations from Sex Education. Otis’ home is situated in the Forest of Dean, and it overlooks River Wye. Unfortunately, the chalet isn’t open to the public at the moment, but you can take time to hike or camp in the nearby area.
