The best short breaks in Wales
When your stay is only a short or weekend break, it is important to maximise your time and make the best possible use of it. Day or half day trips are generally the key to obtaining the most out of a short trip to Wales, and as luck would have it, there are plenty of activities on the bill.
I have listed below a selection of activities that awaits a visitor on any short breaks in Wales, or weekend breaks in Wales.
You can find country sports parks where you can spend and hour or two doing archery or clay pigeon shooting, or you could have a go at quad biking or go-karting if moving fast is appealing.
If you like cycling, climbing or walking this is the place where you can take as long as you wish to enjoy yourself. Plenty of trails exist for hikers and ramblers. You may wish to take a short walk for several miles, requiring less than a day, or go camping for the full weekend and feel the great outdoors.
For climbers there are half day courses available, especially indoors to enable you to maximise your time wisely. With at least a day that can be enjoyed in the Gower Peninsula or Snowdonia.
Fishing is quite a godd option, and you will never waste much time looking for a place to fish as there are plenty of fisheries scattered over the countryside.
Use perhaps half a day or an evening to sample the country’s culture, by a visit to a museum or art gallery or perhaps visit the Wales Millenium Museum to take in a show.
If you are not spending long in the country, you may prefer to stay in one of the delightful holiday cottages in Wales or a B&B. Wales has plenty of high-quality hotels if you don’t fancy catering for yourself or your family, and cosy, family-run B&Bs to give you a taste of home away from home.
