Climbing Mount Snowdon itself, of course, is a big draw for hikers.The picturesque village of Betws-y-coed, which means "temple in the wood." It's also the home to the postcard perfect but strangely named Ugly House.Snowdon Mountain Railway which travels up some of the steepest tracks in the world to reach the most popular part of the park.It's a big old place and you wont' have time to see it all in just two days. It measures up to 1085 metres and can be climbed through a brisk walk in around 3 - 4 hours. Not only is Snowdonia the largest national park in Wales but it contains the largest lake and, for its star turn, the highest mountain in both England and Wales: Snowdon.Īll that said, compared to other mountain ranges, Snowdon isn't that high. Snowdonia is one of the most popular places to visit in north Wales. The Devil's Bridge Falls, a menacing yet captivating natural feat around 12 miles from Aberystwyth.Īnd then it's time to make your way on to the north.Look out for Penbryn Beach in Ceredigion, one of the most remote and beautiful beaches in west Wales.
It's a fabulous reconstructed iron age village with actors in costume to walk you through the past.
Castell Henllys Iron Age Fort - while technically part of Pembrokeshire, I think it's easier to plan for it in this section of your Welsh road trip itinerary. Surrounding Cardigan Bay also has plenty to keep you occupied. Half a day in Aberystwyth itself allows plenty of time to see the main highlights of the National Library of Wales and Constitution Hill and to have fish and chips on the promenade. It's also, if we're being a little less cerebral, the place where a young Prince Charles visited in The Crown (and real life, of course) and the home for the police station in hit detective show Hinterland (if you haven't watched it yet, dig it out, it makes for a fantastic introduction to the wild beauty of rural Wales!) This university town sits right on the seafront at the midpoint of the coast in west Wales. It took me years to make it to Aberystwyth - and what a mistake that was. However, if you're looking for a base that helps you to see a lot in a little time, then I'd recommend staying in Fishguard. This is an area with so many options, from remote cottages to bustling seafront apartments. When it comes to where to stay in Pembrokeshire, you will be spoiled for choice. Read about more unusual things to do in Pembrokeshire here. Leap from the cliffs and go coasteering in the Preseli Hills. RHYTHM DOCTOR DEVELOPER FULL
The walking routes are simply spectacular, full of small coves, narrow pathways and invigorating sea views.
The Pembrokeshire Coastal Path stretches for 186 miles along the clifftops of west Wales. This seaside down with pastel-pretty houses also has a reconstructed Tudor Merchant's House to retrace steps into the past. A trip to Tenby is another highlight of travelling to Wales. Listen to music concerts or else drink a cwtch sparkle at the restaurant named Cwtch. Visit the smallest cathedral in the UK in its smallest city, St Davids. Take a boat to Skomer Island and walk amid flocks of puffins as well as seals and peregrine falcons. This Wales road trip itinerary carves out two days in Pembrokeshire, but in all honesty, you could spend two weeks here and not run out of things to do. Pembrokeshire is the mighty tourist hotspot for Wales and deserves its every visitor. It's still on the small side and incredibly walkable. That said, Cardiff is a European city, not a vast skyscraper behemoth like you'll find in the Americas and Asia. As the capital city, there's lots going on. If you want a livelier home base, then settle yourself in Cardiff and take road trips into the Brecons, the Gower and Caerphilly Castle from there. 
In fact, you may be making the most of life :-) So, don't feel as though you're missing out if you choose to base yourself in a region and drive from there. It's perfect for hiking, canyoning, cycling and playing on the beach, as much as it is about scrambling up and down castle walls and listening to music. Wales excels in pristine landscapes, rugged coastlines and wild country escapes. You won't cover all the highlights of this Wales road trip itinerary if you do it like that, but crossing everything off is rarely the point of travel! Another popular choice is to base yourself in one of the picturesque regions (the Brecons, Gower, Pembrokeshire or Snowdonia) and take day trips from your base.
