Talking of wild swimming, one of the super unique and cool places for wild swimming in Snowdonia is the Watkin Path Waterfalls! The sprawling sandy beach at Llangennith and across Rhossili Bay is one of the best beaches in Wales, if not the world. Once you’ve exhausted the sights of Conwy, it’s time to drive further north to Llandudno. Congratulations! You’ve reached the final stop in your road trip. Llandudno is full of gorgeous seafront hotels, from the Imperial Hotel on the famous promenade to the Wildings Hotel with views across Ormes Bay. Finding somewhere to stay will be no problem. The only challenge you’ll face will be never wanting to leave. The final place to visit in Pembrokeshire is St David’s. This is the smallest city in the UK but is a great place to visit. Don’t miss the beautiful cathedral and small winding streets- as well as one of the best pasty shops we’ve ever found! How long should you plan for a Pembrokeshire road trip?

But the highlight, for me, is watching the sun set over Worm’s Head, a place the Vikings thought was a sleeping dragon. This is the land of slow boat trips along canals, leafy walkways and a hulking great feat of engineering right in the middle of it all. Built in 1805, the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct carries the Llangollen canal across the River Dee. But it’s the pedestrian walkway that earns its place as one of the best things to do in Wales. Not only is this the longest aqueduct in Britain but it’s the highest in the world, carrying iron, water, boats people 38 metres above the ground. The Gower is also a top location for coasteering and a popular destination for surfing, particularly at Llangenith. After you’ve finished your outdoor activities on the Gower, head to the Mumbles for a fine selection of restaurants and places to stay. If you’re doing this Wales road trip with kids and want to wear them out, or you want a really good walk yourself, Pembrey Country Park is where you need to visit because it is easily one of the best places in Wales. As the summer approaches, organised outdoor activities for up to 30 people will be allowed to take place from 3 May, and wedding receptions limited to 30 people can also resume.

Is there anything more than this map?

The Watkins Path is another route to the top of Mount Snowdon but close-ish to the start of the walk you’ll find lots of pools one after each other than run down the mountain. They’re basically natural infinity pools in Wales! 43. Mount Tryfan (Snowdonia National Park) For a slice of Italy in Wales, you can visit Portmeirion. It is a pretty iconic place so you may have seen photos of it before online and it’s definitely one of the most iconic places to visit in North Wales.

With limited ‘headroom’ to ease the current restrictions, choices need to be made and we want to make those choices in consultation with our partners and the people of Wales. However, from my experience living in Wales, I say that late Spring and early Autumn is the best time for a Wales Road Trip though as the weather is more pleasant – not too hot, not too cold, and you miss the summer traffic and crowds.Definitely put in a stop at the small town of Rhossili, where you can rent a surfboard at PJ’s Surfshop and also enjoy delicious fish and chips at the ‘The King’s Head’ pub. Other fun things to do in the area include visiting the charming grounds of Chirk Castle and the oldest Welsh bible in St Asaph’s Cathedral. You can also drive another of the best driving roads in Wales- the A4069 (to the west of the Brecon Beacons.) This road was made famous by Jeremy Clarkson and Top Gear (no, this is NOT the same road as the Gospel Pass!) But those driving routes can take longer than you might have for your trip, so we’ve put together some alternative Wales road trip itinerary ideas for you. Shaped by conquest and conflict, Carew Castle is one of the most architecturally diverse castles in Wales and is set in stunning surroundings.
