Enjoy the scenery of Wales, holiday homes on the coast and the mountainsIf you enjoy a mixture of coastline and hilly terrain with long valleys along the way, Wales is a great destination for your walking holiday. While longer walks are popular in Wales, with extended tours possible thanks to the Offa’s Dyke, Wye Valley and Pembrokeshire coast paths, shorter day walks allow you more flexibility. Doing things at your own pace is always the key to enjoying a holiday and if you choose the right location in Wales you will be able to visit lovely towns and villages alongside your trekking in the Welsh countryside. Circular walks are the name of the game here and the Cwm Idwal trail is among the best short walks. Taking you through a bowl shaped valley with a lake in the middle, the views here are really special on the right day. Keep an eye out for the Darwin boulders and the “Devil’s Kitchen,”a boulder field below the Idwal slabs. Bringing the right gear is essential if you want to follow the route that Edmund Hillary used to train for his Everest ascent but your efforts will reward you with some fantastic views of the surrounding scenery of Snowdonia. The Dinas Oleu walk in Barmouth is a shorter coastal walk that will take you past some points of historical interest alongside views of the Cardigan bay. The snowdonia region isn’t the only delight in Wales for walkers though, as South Wales is equally as interesting. The Henrhyd Falls walk takes you to the tallest waterfall in Wales and the Bat-Cave from the Batman.
