An under-rated gem
Wales is often overlooked by travellers heading to the UK and it’s a mystery to us. It’s a land full of incredible trails, waterfalls, history and a few beaches that feel like they were taken from the tropics. You’ll always receive a warm welcome (maybe less so if you’re English 😉) and we could happily spend months uncovering the hidden gems of Cymru.
Quick Summary
Top Tip: We love the rural side of Wales, so make sure you include the Brecon Beacons and Snowdonia on your itinerary.
Currency: Sterling (the Pound)
Visa: Unless you are an EU national, you will need a visa to visit.
Safety: On the whole Wales is very safe.
When to go: We’ve always loved Easter (April) and September as they tend to be the months where the weather is surprisingly good and few tourists.
Peak Season: July - August. School holidays, peak of summer and those loooong days (it doesn’t get dark until 9pm). Prices go up a lot and places get very busy.
Low Season: November - February. It’s cold, damp and the days are short (it gets dark at 4.30pm at this time of year).
Walk My World cost index: $$$$ - whilst Wales isn’t as expensive as England, it’s still on the pricier side.
