Wales
Wales is one of the most spirited countries on the planet.
Wales is stronger today than it has ever been. The stereotypical images of desolate mining villages are very hard to find; instead you’ll be warmly welcomed by a friendly population who are proud of their background, language and culture. Wales is colourful and vibrant, a reflection of it’s fascinating history.
Cardiff, with its healthy dose of hedonism, is a capital city that many countries should be jealous of, and is certainly worth a visit if you head that way. Cardiff is best known for its environmental progressiveness, sports and it’s regenerated Cardiff Bay area, where you’ll find boutique restaurants, trendy bars and beautiful people (well they were when we went anyway!)
Wind along the narrow roads while heading further north towards the more isolated Brecon Beacons; you’ll find some great little villages that, while you probably won’t be able to pronounce their name, play host to some of the best local pubs serving local ale and wholesome home-cooked food.
The adrenaline-junkie in you should head further north still to Bill Bryson’s ‘favourite sea-side resort’, Llandudno. Being just 27 miles from the base of Snowdon, Llandudo is not just a good base for walkers, the west shore is becoming increasingly popular with the extreme sports crowd... see you there.
After your first visit Welsh food, friendly locals, remarkable landscapes, surf and white-knuckle adventures will leave you craving more.
This country won't just get your heart pumping, it will get into your blood.
The Award was part of Coast magazine’s annual competition, with readers selecting the 186-mile Pembrokeshire Coast Path as their favourite long-distance route.
