With immense mountains, lonely lakes and golden-hued beaches that seemingly stretch into infinity, Wales holidays offer the perfect playground for every type of outdoor pursuit.
Then there's Wales' rich history. There are hundreds of Norman and medieval castles here, many of which occupy evocative locations and remain remarkably intact.
Add in some fun-filled Victorian seaside resorts, a choice of steam railway attractions and some up-and-coming cities and you have everything you could ever need for an unforgettable holiday in Wales.

History & Culture
Wales has a wealth of castles begging to be explored, with arguably the most impressive fortification being the multi-turreted Conwy Castle, originally built by Edward I in the 13th century, this is an unmissable and imposing piece of history.
Further south, Laugharne Castle is a medieval ruin brimming with character - a must visit if you’re staying at Carmarthen Bay. In terms of Roman activity in Wales, the best place to experience this is Caerleon Fortress in Newport, which also features a preserved bathhouse and amphitheatre.

Outdoors & Adventure
As a country with an abundance of coastline, there’s plenty to do water sports wise in Wales. Sailing and kayaking are available at Plas Menai - the National Outdoor Centre for Wales, which is only a short distance away from the pretty, largely Welsh-speaking town of Caernarfon.
If you want a high-speed Eryri (Snowdonia) experience, then plan a visit to the Coed y Brenin mountain biking centre in the midst of the National Park, one of the many trail centres across the country that caters for hardcore MTB fans and beginners alike.

There are plenty of small-scale restaurants all serving excellent food along the south coast of Wales. Our pick for a relaxed meal in Tenby is the Lighthouse Kitchen, which is one of the most highly rated restaurants in the region, offering locally caught seafood every day.
There’s a number of food options on park, too, with Trecco Bay Holiday Park boasting Prego’s Pizzeria for Italian tastes, the Legend’s Diner for American style cuisine and the Deli on the Deck for a more relaxed dining option.
