Wales på 6 dager

Wales

Oversikt

A compact loop covering Wales's strongest contrasts: Cardiff's castle and revitalised waterfront in the south, then a drive north into Snowdonia National Park for genuinely dramatic mountain scenery, finishing at Conwy's near-complete medieval town walls and castle. A rental car makes the north-south drive far easier — the two halves of Wales are otherwise poorly connected by public transport.
