Wales Tours & Holidays

JOIN US ON A HOLIDAY TO WALES

The country is home to a wealth of natural attractions, including Mt Snowdon - the tallest summit in the United Kingdom outside of the Scottish Highlands - located within the picturesque Snowdonia National Park in North Wales, and the mountainous Brecon Beacons National Park, another popular stop on many Wales tours. 

The country is also home to fantastic sandy beaches. Near Swansea is the Gower Peninsula, an idyllic, coastal stretch of land that was designated the UK’s first Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in 1956. To the west of the Gower is the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, an impressive, unspoiled stretch of coastline that is the third of Wales’ three national parks.

Although rightly famous for its outstanding natural beauty, a Wales vacation offers a lot more to visitors, including compelling culture and medieval castles. In fact, there are over 600 castles in Wales, more per square mile than any other country in the world! From coastal paths to ancient history, our Wales holidays are perfect for those wanting to enjoy the natural wonders close to home.

FOOD AND DRINK IN WALES

Wales is home to a rich, traditional spread of dishes, many of which involve lamb. One of the most popular lamb dishes is Cawl: a hearty slow-cooked broth made with root vegetables and either lamb or bacon. But the country's most famous dish is the Welsh rarebit. While the name ‘rarebit’ derives from rabbit, the dish is in fact a deluxe iteration of cheese on toast: a rich, cheesy roux with mustard is poured over hot bread. You can't go wrong.

Vegetarian visitors will be happy to know that one of Wales' most popular dishes - the Glamorgan sausage - is actually meat free. It is made from cheese, breadcrumbs and one of the country's favourite ingredients, leeks.
