Some of the best holiday experiences can be found not at the other end of a long plane or boat trip but in Wales. Every stunning corner of the country has incredible and varied places to stay, exhilarating things to do, history to discover and a range of fantastic food to indulge. Don’t forget, to check current travel restrictions when looking to travel and holiday within Wales, please make sure you are aware of any restrictions in place and the general advice to try to travel as little as possible and to only do so safely. Staying responsible and safe is a must so don’t forget to keep the two-metre distance from other walkers and travellers. Also, as things are constantly changing and reopening, please check with venues like castles, restaurants, and tourist spots, whether they are open. So, start planning your ultimate Welsh staycation, from relaxing in a hot tub in a field to snuggling in front of a roaring fire in a cute cottage before exploring four wonderful regions in Wales that can easily compete with a foreign holiday.
Pembrokeshire With turquoise crystal-clear waters and soft sandy beaches, Pembrokeshire can compete with any Caribbean holiday destination, apart from maybe the weather. In 2012 National Geographic magazine named Pembrokeshire the world’s secondbest coastal destination, so it is an obvious choice for a staycation in Wales. The county has long been a popular holiday destination, enticing people back year after year with its unspoilt beaches, abundance of outdoor activities, pretty and peaceful coastal villages and centuries of unique history.
Llyn Peninsula In the top, left corner of the Welsh coast is a stunning peninsula that is designated as an area of outstanding natural beauty. Surrounded by the sparkling clear waters of the Irish Sea on one side and Cardigan Bay on the other, if a holiday abroad is based on quiet sandy beaches, luxury, and intriguing places to visit then this area of Wales is a perfect staycation replacement. There are remains of Iron Age Forts and islands to discover, sweeping stretches of sandy beaches and plenty of cute coastal villages and historic sites to visit.
