Yes, Wales does NOT have its own currency. They use pound sterling, just like the rest of the UK. Do they drive on the left or the right? Aberystwyth is an ancient market town but these day’s it is much more developed and the town centre isn’t so attractive in places but it does have a big beach and promenade to walk along and some other tourist attractions. TheFairy Fallsare located in the village of Trefriw which is located on the edge of the Snowdonia National Park. Trefriw is a good place for a walk around and you can continue walking further down the river that make the falls. 41. Cwmorthin Lake (Snowdonia National Park) Generally, there’s never a bad time to visit Wales as long as you are prepared for the weather. I’d say that late Spring in May and June and early Autumn in September and October is the best time for a Wales Road Trip and the best month to visit Wales. How many days do you need to see Wales?
Llanddwyn beach. Anglesey has many beautiful beaches but this one makes the cut because of its soothing views across to the Snowdonia peaks. Beyond that, expect to find most international cuisine in the cities and lots of hearty “pub food” in the countryside. What’s that, you ask? Pastry laden pies, Indian influenced curries, roast meats and, of course, fish and chips by the sea. Road Trip Wales At a Glance For this stretch of your Wales road trip itinerary, you can either head northwest to Anglesey, the lighthouse strewn outpost where Prince William and Kate spent their early married years. Or take a left turn into Snowdon’s Arm, the Llyn Peninsula. Highlights of the Anglesey Option Getting in and out of Aberdaron if you are in a motorhome is reasonably easy. Using the reasonably priced National Trust car park right on the beach makes for an easy visit. Nestled along the mesmerizing coastline of Pembrokeshire, the Blue Lagoon at Abereiddy offers a playground for adventure enthusiasts and a haven of tranquillity. Once a busy slate quarry, this unique natural feature captivates visitors with its bracing blue-green waters.A gateway to some of the most picturesque coastal landscapes in Wales, start with the hidden gems of St Non’s Bay and Whitesands Beach, which are just a stones throw away. St. Non’s Chapel: A Revered Birthplace and Serene Sanctuary I’d highly recommend an overnight stay in The Welsh House, a lovingly restored 18th century Welsh cottage set in the countryside. A pit stop for food at Wright’s Emporium is another essential feature for your Wales trip.
This scenic area is also popular with hikers. Inland walks from Poppit wind through dense forest, pretty river valleys and fields of sheep. Poppit also lies at the start (or end!) of the 300-kilometre-long Pembrokeshire Coastal Path. Caerphilly was a medieval fortification and is the second largest castle in Britain after Windsor Castle. As well as the usual castle features such as the Great Hall, battlements and various nooks and crannies, Caerphilly has a secret in store for visitors. Dragons! Yes, you read that right. Two adult dragons and their babies have a lair at the castle. There’s also a fun maze at the rear of the castle. The problem with doing this is you will miss some beautiful places- after all, part of the joy of a road trip is getting out and experiencing the place you’ve just driven to. It also excels in self-catered accommodation. Think cottages with sea views, sloping beams and all the mod cons in the kitchen. Outside the cities, parking rarely costs extra with accommodation, which makes visiting Wales on a road trip all the more pleasurable. Freedom on a road trip like this is only limited by how far your imagination takes you. After Londonderry, the road keeps going south into Ireland, to Sligo and Galway or Dublin. Simply roll down the window and keep on driving.
Coastal hikes — there are SO many to choose from and all will deliver incredible views over the sea. 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!) At least 3 days in Wales is a good amount of time to see a lot of the Country. However if you have 7 days or more, this will enable you to see both the North and South of Wales in one trip, or get to know one area really well. I hope this has helped you plan your Wales road trip.
Snowdonia National Park encompasses a mighty 823 sq. miles in northernWales. It’s home to the tallest mountain inWales, Mt Snowdon at 1085m and it’s also this mountain that gives the park its name. Waterfalls! There are some incredible waterfalls all over the Brecon Beacon National Park. One of the most popular waterfalls is Sgwd Gwladys. On some there is a small commission for entry and some can be a long walk to get there!There are few places in the UKmore beautiful than scenic, rugged Wales. I’ll be sharing three Wales road trip itineraries, as well as handy tips to make the most of your trip. Nestled on the southwestern tip of Wales, St Davids, with its rich historical heritage, breathtaking landscapes, and diverse range of activities, serves as an ideal starting point for embarking on the Coastal Way. Of course, it could also be your finishing point should you wish to do the journey in reverse! St Davids: Historical Significance
Kidwelly Castleis a large well-preserved Norman castle overlooking the River Gwendraeth and the small town of Kidwelly in Carmarthenshire. Although the castle changed hands several times in the 12 thand 13 thcenturies within the hierarchy of Welsh royalty, it remains a symbol of power and conquest. Porthmadog is a beautiful harbour town where you can explore its Maritime Museum and stunning beaches. That said, the drive from Beddgelert to Porthmadog is equally as stunning as following the A498 through the Aberglaslyn Pass, and past Tremadog gives you great views of Snowdonia national park. Need travel insurance? I use True Traveller(for UK & Europe residents) since it’s affordable but covers everything you’d need including various activities, valuables and pre-existing conditions. Unlike some companies, they insure you if you’re already travelling / don’t yet have your flight home booked. Get a quote.
One day: South Wales in a day
How long: One day, though it’s far better to extend your trip and stay in the Brecon Beacons area for at least 48 hours. The A470 running through the park’s east is also highly recommended. For travel insurance for other nationalities, I recommend Hey Mundo and for long-term digital nomad travellers, I suggest Safety Wing. By now, you’ll have enjoyed the mountains of the Brecon Beacons and the coastlines of The Gower peninsular, so a stop in the bustling Welsh capital will be a welcome bit of variety.
