Holiday in Wales
Fresh air and wide open spaces spring to mind when we think of a holiday in Wales. There are certainly excellent opportunities for holidaying in Wales as this country has three National Parks: the Brecon Beacons National Park, the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park and Snowdonia National Park, each with its own distinctive character and special features. These areas are protected sites and certainly enhance the pleasure of holidays or short breaks.
Welsh National Park
Lying to the North of Cardiff and Swansea lies the Brecon Beacons National Park which covers a vast area of rural countryside and mountains. From its remote wilderness, contrasting with sheltered ancient woodlands, reservoirs, breathtaking waterfalls, caves and windswept uplands, there is something for everyone here.
The Pembrokeshire Coast National Park on the far West coast of Wales is the smallest of the National Parks and consists mainly of protected coastline, small islands, wildlife, coves, historic castles and sandy beaches. This peninsula is an unspoiled area of breathtaking beauty and the visitor can choose to stay in one of the small fishing villages along the coastline. Off the shore of Pembrokeshire lie the islands of Skomer and Skokholm, internationally famous for their bird life such as puffins which nest here. Venture into the Preseli Hills North of the market town of Haverfordwest and you are almost sure to hear the Welsh language spoken by the people who live there.
