Wales is where.............

Wales is where Miss lives and Fran, so I think it is full of clever and important people.............and I didn't like seeing 'Never' next to threads for the Wales board.

My tip for Wales is a wildlife one. We've stayed in New Quay on the Ceredigion Heritage Coast. There (used to be) are regular sightings of bottlenose dolphins. You don't need to go out on a boat, we've sat on the harbour wall and watched the dolphins.

aww Nile you've brought back some lovely memories
hubby and I spent a week in New Quay Wales in 1990 and always look back on that as a wonderful trip

I'm going camping in Wales this summer, I live in Bristol and believe it or not have only ever been to Cardiff, and once to the Gower when I was a kid. I would love to explore the Pembrokeshire coast but our camping trip is actually at a lovely site called Fforest Fields in Builth Wells, Powys.

you are less than an hour and a half from the coast, so could think about a daytrip maybe

Dont forget that theres also North Wales ! here in N.wales we often say that there's only one Wales... South ! but thats not true, north Wales is also beautiful, we have a lovely coastline plus we have one of the longest names in the world 'Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerynchwyndrobwllsantysiliogogogoch'.Try saying that after a couple of drinks !!:eek: Plus we speak a different Welsh to the South.

Just to repeat the bit about New Quay, i often go there and never fail to see Dolphins, sit by the tourist infirmation and look out to sea (obviously!) and sooner or later you will spot some.
Take time to travel down the coast a little to lovely places like Llangrannog and Mwnt.

Yes, hard to say with no drinks, twenty drinks or a cup of coffee. :rolleyes: Also hard to spell correctly! This is the correct spelling:-

Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch.

Yes the Welsh is certainly different - I've lived in North & South Wales and words are different apart from the accents. West Wales has a distinct accent too, in fact there are many variations - just like England other places.

As in the listing on this board, Wales often gets referred to at the end of the other countries of UK, and people think Wales is part of England too.

The Heads of the Valleys is rather stunning too - I've just moved up from Newport to Blaenavon and there are the most amazing views from on top of the Blorenge into the Usk valley and over towards Abergavenny (on a clear day of course!!) It's almost enough to make me start walking - at least when the evenings are a bit lighter for longer!!
