A Brief Rundown on All the Great Places Wales has to Offer   by Anne Harvester

Looking for an exciting place to travel to this summer? My family and I decided to visit a few holiday parks last vacation season in the beautiful country of Wales. We couldn't have asked for a more scenic and relaxing trip. We stopped to see its historical castles, celebrated at some local festivals and strolled along beautiful coastlines. There are exciting activities for families of all sizes in Wales.
Wales is located in the southwest part of the UK. While it may share a border with England, these two countries share very little in common in regards to language, culture, and traditions. Vacationers looking for somewhere different to travel choose Wales for its inimitable traveling experiences.

One of the reasons we chose to stay in holiday lodges at Wales is because of the three different coasts. My family simply loves the beach and breathing in the fresh coastal air. The National Park in Pembrokeshire is probably one of the best places for holiday parks in the entire world with its superb scenery of green hills and mountains. My advice when you are traveling through Wales is to enjoy as much of this beautiful land as you possibly can.


As you make your way to your holiday homes, stop to see the sunset at Cregennen. This is inspirational setting instantly takes you to a place of inner peace and tranquility. Did you know that the great writer Charles Darwin reportedly spent many nights along this very same bay? The stunning 27 acre lake is one untouched area, and it continues to fascinate geologists and Celtic historians. Take a hike around the lakes for some stunning views of Welsh hills and cliffs.

Another fun little side adventure is to take the time and explore Raglan Castle. Sir William Herbert's well-designed fortress is still maintained in all its glory. Here you will not only find a great deal of history and Tudor inspiration, but the remarkable hexagonal-shaped towers will keep you exploring for hours. 

For an added bonus on this pit stop, the castle turrets and towers offer some of the best views of the surrounding countryside in all of Wales.

Wales offers everything a vacationer with a family in tow could possibly want in the way of relaxation and peace. This truly unique little country combines the beauty of nature with the history of a great culture. 


With exciting cities to visit, scenic outdoors to hike, and plenty of holiday parks to park your caravan at night, Wales is a great vacation destination for families of all ages and sizes.
