Wales Trip

Options
Hi

We are planning a trip to wales in the coming weeks, does anyone know what is good to see and anyone have any suggestions on good reasonable places to stay

we were thinking of staying in and around Brecon Beacons

we are travelling by car so getting around isn't a issue

im more into seeing hills and castles but not sure what else is good and not sure what the rest are into

is there anything to see in cardiff ?

thanks in advance

    Is there anything to see in Cardiff.....how long have you got lol?

    Cardiff Bay - lovely restaurants & bars not to mention the Wales Millennium Centre to catch a show, Doctor Who experience.

    City Centre - lots of lovely shops, Cardiff castle, Bute Park. New Theatre, which has been there since Adam was a lad, also ideal for catching a show

    Brecon Beacons - ideal for walking. there's also the Royal Welsh military museum.

    Brecon is not far from Cardiff - about an hours drive

    There's a nice blonde lady who lives near Caerphilly.

    Shame she ghosted me!

    All the major hotel chains are in Cardiff - last time we stayed at the Holiday Inn Express near the bay.

    A visit to the Royal Welsh Museum in Brecon is a must if only to see the Artifacts from the Zulu Wars

    You could spend that short time in Cardiff itself or walking in the Beacons.

    I'd leave Swansea alone.

    There is the Welsh national museum of history (St Fagans) just outside Cardiff which is well worth a visit & it's free!!

    Dwy raff yn cydio’n ddolen,
    Dau enaid ond un taith.
