If you’re planning a holiday or simply need a few days break but don’t have the luxury of time to travel a great distance, Wales is a great place to go. Located in the United Kingdom, Wales has a wealth of national parks, stunning beaches, and beautiful landscapes that’ll let you forget all your worries and return home revitalised and rearing to go.
Explore Wales’ coastline by visiting the best Welsh beaches; ENCAM Seaside Award winners Llandudno and Colwyn Bay are must-sees for their exceptional water quality, while Llandudno’s North Beach promises ultimate relaxation with its golden sands, historic pier, and an elegant promenade. For some water action, head to Anglesey, which has a huge selection of beaches where you can indulge in various water sports such as Holyhead, Beaumaris, and Rhosneigr; also try Pwllhelli and Abersoch beaches.
Looking for some thrills? Then head to Oakwood Theme Park and have a dose of family fun! Brave your way through Megafobia, a roller coaster ride that’ll turn your world upside down as it whips you up in the air. For a heart-stopping drop, try Hydro, which will take you 100 ft up in the air then drop you in the pool below. For kids who can’t brave the scary rides, Lost Kingdom is waiting, a terrain where kids can navigate through and run along.
You don't have to go far afield to find some great European destinations - why not visit Tuscany, particularly Pisa or Florence? France has a number of beautiful regions to explore, such as its fabulous capital, Paris.
With the Staycation being the preferred new holiday type, the British Isles has some amazing places to explore. Wales has everything you could wish for from a holiday. Admittedly the weather may not be guaranteed to be sunny but if action and adventure is what you are after then that really doesn’t matter. The coastlines range from wild and rocky to beautiful large stretches of golden sand. There are mountains and lowlands. You can visit the shopping centres in Cardiff or share a joke with the locals in one of the many small country pubs dotting the hills and valleys. You could even try to learn a bit of Welsh.
There are plenty of companies offering rental cottages throughout Wales. We particularly love the island of Anglesey – just off the coast of North Wales, in the Irish Sea. Menai Holiday Cottages offer a range of beautiful holiday accommodation for rental in Anglesey, Snowdonia and the Lleyn Peninsula. There are many categories available for you to choose from and some of the properties also welcome dogs for those of you who hate to leave the family pet behind.
You can even join a local fishing trip to try your hand at catching sea fish or lobsters and crabs. Many are caught off the coast of Anglesey and enjoyed in the local restaurants.
A caravan holiday trip is one of the best ways to bond with your family or friends; it's goes well with even the tightest budget! Looking for a quick break? Plan it in the UK, where you’ll find camping sites all over the isles. Cornwall or Devon is an excellent choice if you want beautiful scenery, comfortable weather, and nice beaches; here you can picnic in the dunes, go rock-pooling in the coves, and check out the wildlife.
Newquay, Torquay, and Dawlish are hugely popular areas too.
Further north is the "White Rose" county of Yorkshire, popular for caravan travelers because of its vast, open spaces, and untamed landscape. The Dales and the Moors are great areas for hiking, picnicking, and exploring the wilderness. Best for families, the remoteness of these caravan parks mean noise pollution isn’t an issue; plus, there’s nothing more kids enjoy doing than running around for days on end in the meadows.
Dumfries and Galloway in Scotland are good for big groups, or you can venture into the quiet Welsh valleys and the stunning north coast, which has amazing views of the Llyn peninsula or the Snowdonia national park. Visit Helsinki for some great camping facilities too. Book your caravan holiday online today! We have caravan holiday tips for you to keep in mind, as well as a list of equipment for you to bring.
