Whether you're looking for romantic breaks for couples or a trip away with the whole family, Wales will deliver. Boasting large areas of natural beauty, as well as bustling cities and quaint villages, you're sure to find something that suits your party.
Parents looking for UK family holidays that won't break the bank, but will still keep the kids occupied, will discover Wales has a host of attractions suitable for everyone from young toddlers to teenagers. One of the best ways to spend time together is to simply get out and about in the Welsh countryside.
If a break by the seaside is what you're looking for, there are plenty of spots to choose in the area. Pembrokeshire on Wales's south coast is one of the most popular places to visit, boasting 13 Blue Flag beaches, as well as one of the UK's most scenic coastal walking paths.
Free days out here are easy to find, especially with so many stretches of sand nearby. Kids who love exploring will enjoy discovering the old tramway and its tunnels at the top of Coppet Hall beach, as well as delving into the rock pools to find all manner of sea life. For little ones, Tenby may be a better option, with its three bays offering more than a mile of sand to play on. Tenby North is particularly good if your kids are keen to swim, as it's sheltered, making it the perfect place for a dip. Parents, meanwhile, will enjoy the backdrop at the Tenby Castle beach which, as its name suggests, is home to the remains of a fortress on one of the headlands.
Should you wish to entertain your teenagers on short UK holidays, travelling inland to one of the mountain biking parks is a good option. There are numerous trails all over the country, so you should be able to find something suitable for you and the kids. Whether you're all accomplished cyclists looking for a challenge - like the 46 km Skyline trail in the Afan Forest Park near Swansea - or want something a little gentler, such as the Elan Valley route in Rhayader, you'll be able to seek out the ideal cycling destination.
Wales isn't only a suitable place for families to visit, though, with plenty on offer for couples seeking a romantic trip away from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Hide away in one of the country's quaint villages, get back to nature on long walks in its national parks or discover the attractions in one of the main cities for a getaway to remember.
Perhaps one of the best things to do on romantic breaks for couples is to enjoy leisurely meals at wonderful restaurants - and Wales can definitely deliver on this front. Monmouthshire is a good place to pick if you and your partner are foodies, as the region is home to numerous excellent eateries where you can sample everything from gourmet cuisine to simple, yet delicious, local dishes.
For the former, book a table at the Michelin-starred The Crown in Whitebrook, where you will be treated to a dining experience to remember. All the dishes are produced using seasonal ingredients, so what's on offer will vary depending on the time of year you plan your trip. Among the options you can find on the dinner menu are hay-baked venison with celeriac, winter vegetables and chocolate and pan-fried turbot served with cauliflower, wild mushroom and samphire.
Alternatively, you can dine at the Foxhunter in Nantderry, which serves up mouth-watering cuisine in a relaxed setting. The restaurant is located in an old, Victorian pub, which has been brought up to date while leaving many of the original features - such as its flagstone floors - in place. Dishes on the a la carte menu include starters like grilled mackerel with tomatoes and rhubarb chutney and mains such as Madgetts farm duck breast, port-soaked damsons, sauteed potatoes and thyme. Those with a sweet tooth will be well catered for too. Creamed rice pudding with poached cherries and rum and dark chocolate mousse with poached wild Mirabelle plums are just two of the choices on the dessert menu.
Wales's all-round attractions make it the perfect destination for a range of holidaymakers, whether it's couples looking for some solitude or families seeking an action-packed break to occupy the children.
Whether you are planning romantic breaks for couples or UK family holidays, Wales is the ideal destination. To learn more about the kind of UK holidays you can have in the country, come to Visit Wales. We also have suggestions of free days out in case you're on a tight budget.
