When you are on a short trip, a weekend or slightly longer, it is important to make the best possible use of your time. Day trips or half-day trips are the key to getting a lot into a mini-break in Wales, and luckily there are plenty of activities that fit 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.
There are some country parks worth a visit, where you can try your hand at archery or clay pigeon shooting, or get in a spin on a quad bike or go-kart.
If you like cycling, climbing or walking this is the place where you can take as long as you wish to enjoy yourself. Ramblers and hikers will be delighted by the number of trails on offer. 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. And at least a day can be spent around the Gower Peninsula or Snowdonia.
Fishing is another popular option and with a wealth of fisheries scattered throughout the country, you will never have to use up too much time getting to one.
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.
