Often referred to as the 'Red Dragon', Wales is a country blessed with some of the most dramatic landscapes in Britain. To the north lies Snowdonia, a land of awe-inspiring mountains, wild moorlands and enchanting lakes whilst further south the land is abundant with deep valleys and vast forests. To the west the country has a spectacularly varied coastline of cliffs, coves and sandy beaches. Wales also has a rich cultural heritage full of myths and legends founded on Celtic ancestry but has an equally strong industrial past.

 

Whether you’re energetic, a history buff or culture vulture, The Hidden Places of Wales is the ultimate companion for locals and visitors alike.

 

Energetic

Enjoy a long scenic walk by the sea, the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park (p139) is the ideal setting for such an activity set against the backdrop of the Preseli Mountains, which is where the Stonehenge bluestones are said to have originated.

 

History buff

Visit a place of historic interest, among these is the ruined Elizabethan mansion that is Carew Castle (p153), along with the remains of Lamphey Bishops Palace (p154) and the more complete Pembroke Castle (p152).

Culture vulture

How about a tour around St Fagans National History Museum (p196) one of Europe’s leading open–air museums that explores Welsh traditions and lifestyles.

 

Animal lover

On a bright sunny day why not pack a flask or picnic and head off to Mwnt (p136), part of the Ceredigion Heritage Coast, this beautiful beach is a perfect sand cove. Steeped in wildlife, it’s a great place to spot seals and bottle-nosed, common and Risso dolphins playing among the waves.

Foodie

Whatever you fancy, the Royal Welsh Show (p112) is a crowd pleaser with animals, stalls, food, fun and a summer carnival atmosphere.
