Farming communities are the very heartland of Wales, where old traditions live on and Welsh is still spoken in many homes. From the gentle greenery of mid Wales to the distinctive landscapes of the National Parks, the Welsh countryside brings a choice of scenery – and outdoor activities – right to the farmhouse door. The Snowdonia National Park, with its peaks, waterfalls and clear mountain streams takes its name from Mount Snowdon, whose 3000ft summit is scaled by a breathtaking railway. Other highlights of the park include picture-postcard Betws-y-Coed, Blaenau Ffestiniog – home of another scenic railway – and Harlech with its mighty castle, just one of 400 in Wales! Coastal attractions here in North Wales range from enchanting Portmeirion, a private village of architectural follies created by Clough Williams Ellis to Llandudno, complete with donkeys on the beach or the mystic Isle of Anglesey, beckoning from across the Menai Bridge. 2 There’s more magic in the coastline of Pembrokeshire’s National Park, with its superb beaches and cliffs, coastal walks and tiny islands like Caldey, with its monastery, or Skomer – alive with seals, puffins and other seabirds. Popular towns here include picturesque Fishguard, walled Tenby and St David’s, whose 12th-century cathedral lies concealed in a hollow to hide it from predatory eyes. To the east, the Brecon Beacons National Park brings yet more variety: its bare escarpments and mining valleys provide memorable views, and there are attractive little towns like nearby Hayon-Wye, a world-famous centre for second-hand books. ay, B li i s os r Rh n e v o View Glamorga Curiou s lamb , Cer edigio n Just follow the valleys for a day out in Cardiff’s superb castle, museums and shops or maritime Swansea, where an excellent museum tells the story of Wales and the sea. Right on Swansea’s doorstep is the Gower Peninsula – a charmed corner of beaches, cliffs and smugglers coves beloved of Dylan Thomas, whose former home is open to the public along the coast at Laugharne.

CEREDIGION – PEMBROKESHIRE Wales Ceredigion Pembrokeshire Cardigan Bay Britain’s Coastal National Park Regional Map 5 (page 2) Regional Map 6 (page 2) For the smell of fresh coastline and country air, head straight to Ceredigion. When you’re not sampling the fine, uncrowded beaches of the Ceredigion coast, head into the Cambrian Mountains and the Teifi Valley for the fresh farm and country air. Although they’re more than fond of a spot of canoeing in these parts, old habits die hard and you’ll still see the odd coracle skimming along the River Teifi. Pembrokeshire scores highly on the chill out factor. It boasts Britain’s only coastal National Park, take your pick of plentiful top-notch beaches. The county is as colourful as they come, with pastel coloured villages, bird-specked islands and an impressive cluster of artists dabbing away at the easels. When sea kayaking or beach riding isn’t enough, there’s always Pembrokeshire’s very own sport of ‘coasteering’.
