WALKING HOLIDAYS IN WALES
The Welsh dragon roars loud and proud about its credentials as a world-class walking destination – and rightly so. Glittering lakes, soaring mountains, and time-frozen villages nestled in green valleys are just a few boast-worthy mentions. Add a trio of national parks to the mix and it’s no surprise England’s western neighbour makes for a walking holiday worth shouting about.
