Places to visit in Wales

There isn’t another country we know at least in Europe that offers such a range of attractions from castles, parks and museums. Wales is a small country, which means you don’t have to go far to find something new and interesting to discover. 

Wales also is well known because it has wonderful landscapes and of course that have a lot of interesting places but, on this list I will try to put together some places with history, wonderful sceneries and a lot of fun.

1: Snowdonia

Think of Wales, and you'll likely think of Snowdonia. The English name for the area derives from Snowdon, which is the highest mountain in Wales at 3,560 ft  is one of the most popular places in wales and of course is one of the most popular places for hiking and climbing destinations in Britain. When you're there, it's easy to see why the area has featured so heavily in local legends, including those based around King Arthur, who locals will insist was Welsh. 

2: Caernarfon Castle

Built by King Edward I in the 13th Century as a seat for the first Prince of Wales, Caernarfon Castle is one of the largest castles in the country. With its 13 towers and two gates, this massive castle is recognized as one of the most impressive and best-preserved medieval fortresses in Europe. of course the castle has a lot of history because it was used in so many important events of history in different ways, as parlament, as a base in the world war etc. actually Is considerated world heritage for UNESCO until 1986

3 Conwy

Located on the north coast of Wales just a short distance from Manchester, Conwy offers just about everything one could hope for in a day trip: a stunning castle, medieval architecture, and plenty of great shopping. has The best views of Conwy Castle and River Conwy with its suspension bridge designed by Thomas Telford are to be found from the 13th Century town walls built by King Edward I to keep the Welsh at bay.

4 Travel in wales by rail

Wales was once famous for its mining operations, in particular of the slate used for the roofing still so common. While the majority of these mines and quarries have closed, the railways used to transport material around the country have been restored and now provide a fun way of travel. Wales has more than 10 heritage railway lines, and it's now possible to take in many of the most popular landmarks, whether mountains, seaside towns or castles, simply by jumping on a steam train. Many of the bigger lines, offer unique train driving courses and volunteer opportunities to add to the experience.

5 Pembrokeshire Coast

Surrounded by water on three sides, Wales has more than its fair share of dramatic coastline. Some of the most imposing places to be found is this the coast of Pembrokeshire which just looks like an old man's chin into the Irish Sea. Whether on foot or by car, you'll find everything here: historic castles and keeps (Pembroke Castle), cathedrals (St David's in the town of the same name), and idyllic fishing harbors such as Laugharne, perhaps this is most famous as the place where Welsh poet Dylan Thomas lived for much of his life (his boathouse home is now a museum) this place is a wonderful option to enjoy the sea, and relax
