Welcome to South Wales

South Wales has a lot to offer for anyone considering spending the weekend in Wales or longer. Whether it's a short trip or an extended holiday, South Wales has a lot to offer, and the positives definitely outweigh the negatives.

South Wales has a lot to offer and one thing that cannot be ignored is its beautiful scenery. From fields that stretch on for miles and miles full of wildlife to the huge Welsh hills, it can definitely be said that Wales is beautiful. You can capitalise on these beautiful landscapes by visiting places such as Caldicot Castle & Country Park with its medieval castle and 55 acres of parkland, gardens and grounds, which is a sure fire hit for any countryside lover. There are also plenty of places in Wales for the family (if you are holidaying with your family) and many of them are free, such as St. Fagans National History Museum where the whole family can experience centuries of Welsh history in acres of beautiful land. There's a Big Pit: National Coal Museum where you will be taken 300 feet under ground for a tour of real mining conditions. These are just two of the many great things Wales tourism has to offer. If this isn't really your thing, South Wales is also the home to two huge shopping cities, Cardiff, the Welsh capital and Newport. Both cities have just undergone huge revamps and are homes to some of the best High Street fashion retailers, vintage/charity shops and restaurants from around the world. A must visit for anyone spending their holidays in Wales.

The main negative about South Wales is the weather. If the weather is nice, then you will have an absolutely amazing time, but if it's bad, then you could possibly have the worst time of your life. However, as we all know, this can happen anywhere in the world. If you are planning on visiting Cardiff, remember that it does have a huge student population and binge drinking culture which can get a little out of hand. This is true of many major cities, so don't let it put you off. So, when you are thinking of your next holidays, why not consider Welsh holidays?
