Welsh Climate
You’ll want to pack your hiking boots, but don’t rely on faultless sunshine during your excursions. It rains a lot in Wales, though spring and summer do bring their fair share of beautiful, blue-skied days. Don’t feel down if it does rain as it’s all part of the fun. If you leave Wales without going on a windswept, rainy hike then you’ve missed a vital experience. Of course, you'll have a warm and cosy Wales vacation rental to return to at the end of it.
Wales’ Great Attractions
You’ll find plenty to keep you occupied when you book your Wales vacation rental, especially if you love the outdoors. One of the highlights is Snowdonia, a beautiful national park in the north of the country. This park covers an area of more than 750 sq. miles and hosts the magnificent Mount Snowdon, the highest peak in Wales.
In Snowdonia and the other national parks, such as the mountainous Brecon Beacons and coastal Pembrokeshire, you can engage in many recreational activities, including hiking and cycling, as well as some adventure sports.
Once you’ve had your fill of outdoor pursuits, step back in time by visiting some of the castles that are dotted around the country. The stunningly well-preserved castle in Caernarfon, which dates back to the 11th century, is one of the best in Europe and is a definite must-see. Another good option is Conwy Castle, which is located just 30 minutes from Caernarfon in North Wales. This castle is a World Heritage site and dates back to the 13th century.
Culture in Wales
With a Wales vacation rental you will have a great base from which to explore this beautiful, green nation. This is also a modern country with much culture to be enjoyed, especially in the capital city Cardiff and the second largest city, Swansea.
The National Museum of Cardiff focuses on natural history and interesting artefacts, as well as hosting an art gallery which opened in 2011 and showcases works from international and domestic artists. In Cardiff, you will also find St. Fagans National History Museum, one of the most popular attractions in Wales, in which old Welsh ways of life are presented in an open-air setting.
Best Events in Wales
Wales has a number of unique, often quirky annual events that you may enjoy visiting during your stay in a Wales vacation home. The Dylan Thomas Festival takes place in the Dylan Thomas Center each October and November and hosts events related to the famous Welsh poet.
In March, celebrate the Welsh patron saint on St. David’s Day. Don your Welsh flag and enjoy the day with the locals to commemorate all that is great about Wales. In June, listen to the world’s best classical singers as they try to win the prestigious Cardiff Singer of the Year competition. Note that this event takes place every two years. At Christmas, towns and cities across the country are transformed into winter wonderlands, with ice-rinks and fairs.
Self-catering in your Wales Vacation Home
Booking a fully-equipped Wales vacation rental allows you to explore the best of Wales while also having your own cosy space to relax in. If you’re near a big city such as Cardiff and Swansea, then you’ll have many options for buying food. Those in more rural areas will have the pleasure of buying groceries in quaint, traditional stores as well as larger supermarkets in nearby towns. What better way to round-off an exciting day of exploring, then by sharing a hearty meal with your loved ones and planning the next day's adventure?
