Summer Short Breaks in Wales
With summertime coming into full swing, thoughts often turn to holidays, and with the fuel crisis pushing air fares up, not to mention the environmental damage such journey cause, why not holiday closer to home this year?
Wales is a great destination for a holiday, with so much to see and do for adults and children alike, you can have a fantastic time which saves money and doesn’t cause so much harm to the environment.
Summer is a fantastic time for a holiday in Wales – the sun is shining and the, and with the awe inspiring scenery and fantastic activity options available, what more do you need?
For sun, sea and surf, visit the Pembrokeshire Coast or head over to Swansea and to Rhossili Bay and the seventh most photographed sunset in the world!
There are many great beaches in Wales, but if country walks are more your thing, Snowdonia National Park provides some of the best scenery: lakes, rolling hills and of course the majestic Mount Snowdon – a mere 3,560ft above sea level!
There are some great events which take place in the summer time. Wakestock is Europe’s largest wakeboard music festival held at Abersoch beach, Penrhos & Pwllheli Marina in the Llyn Peninsula.
Watch top wakeboarders battle among the surf and enjoy live sets from top musicians and DJs.
For those seeking to enjoy a more energetic holiday, Visit Wales offer a great guide to active holidays in Wales featuring some of the best active pastimes on offer.
Much can be done, even in a short weekend break in Wales – take in the history of the country with a tour of the great castles in Wales, or enjoy a more leisurely walk over the rolling hills of Carmarthenshire – dubbed as the garden of Wales.
Whatever your interest, Wales has something for every interest, and is not a place to be missed!

We generate our own environment. We get exactly what we deserve. How can we resent a life we’ve created ourselves? Who’s to blame, who’s to credit but us? Who can change it, anytime we wish, but us? ~
