Information

Wales

There are many attractions throughout Wales, but you may be in danger of missing the best if you rush between them. Take your time and enjoy your journey. Take in the scenery. Look at the woodlands, the castles, hills and mountains and the welcome of the friendly folk. You may also see Kites flying overhead in the hunt for food, you will certainly see many craft centres - so pop in.

There is a subtle difference between entertainment and activity, if you find something entertaining you are an observer. If you have taken part it is an activity to you. There are many opportunities in Wales for both ....

Dams and scenery in the Elan Valley, mid Wales.
