Croeso (Welsh for welcome) to my post all about Wales<\/a>. Particularly West Wales<\/a>, but I will try and name a few important places to visit while in Wales.<\/p>\n

I have had many experiences of visiting multiple places in Wales. Actually, I must admit I have previously lived in Wales, but I still go back now and again to enjoy and consider it a privilege to go.<\/p>\n

Wales is truly a beautiful country, with the most amazingly diverse landscape you can imagine.<\/p>\n

From the Rugged Snowdonia National Park<\/a> (claiming the highest peak in both Wales and England) to the picturesque Italian village of Portmeirion and the cosmopolitan capital city of Cardiff<\/a> that boasts some amazing shopping, culture and arts.<\/p>\n

Getting to Wales<\/strong><\/h3>\n

For me, Wales is somewhere I always like to visit. For me, a week in Wales, exploring the country by car or train is awesome.<\/p>\n

There is a small airport in Cardiff<\/a>, but also consider Bristol or Birmingham Airport, too (there is a direct train to West Wales from the airport).<\/p>\n

If you are travelling from London, take a train to Birmingham<\/a> and connect to the trains service to West & North Wales.<\/p>\n

Welsh Culture & Food<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Once arriving in Wales, you will notice straight away how friendly people are, always willing to help. Welsh people are very proud of their heritage and culture…and rightly so.<\/p>\n

From embracing their own language for many thousands of years to ensuring the survival of their heritage through festivals that celebrate everything Welsh (try visiting the Eisteddfod<\/a>, a Welsh festival that embodies everything from signing, dancing and eating).<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t forget to try Welsh cakes and cawl (lamb based stew). Yummy!<\/p>\n

You can also try some fresh cuisine in many of the West Wales<\/a> Coastal towns such as Aberaeron. Here, farmers markets operate selling foods such as honey ice-cream, Welsh cheeses and even freshly caught fish, including my favourite, Scallops pan-fried in Garlic butter.<\/p>\n

Natural Beauty in Wales<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Do also take a trip to Snowdonia National Park if you like walking\/hiking, a great place to see the awesome nature that has shaped this beautiful land.<\/p>\n

Also, I don\u2019t think that any trip to Wales is complete without a trip to Portmeirion, an idyllic Italian village nestled on the coastline in Snowdonia; such a great place to spend a day.<\/p>\n

Hotels in Wales<\/strong><\/h3>\n

There are some great hotels to stay in around Wales.<\/p>\n

Do take advantage of many of the independently owned guesthouses around West Wales<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Or if your looking for a little more luxury head to the St. David\u2019s Spa in Cardiff for a few nights and enjoy the vibrancy of the city alongside a calming, soothing massage.<\/p>\n

If you have enough time, head to a rugby game at the Millennium Stadium, Cardiff<\/a>. Wales is famously committed to rugby, a sport that is much bigger than football in Wales.<\/p>\n

If you can, try and take in the atmosphere at a game, its friendly and a great day out.<\/p>\n

Look Out for Dolphins<\/strong><\/h3>\n

If you are heading to the largest town in West Wales, Aberystwyth<\/a>, try and take in the world-famous electric cliff railway<\/a>, this is not for the faint-hearted.<\/p>\n

It is very steep but it is well worth the view. Top Tip: head up the cliff on the railway as the sun sets and watch the sun disappear behind the Irish sea while watching out for dolphins in the bay. Magical.<\/p>\n
