Whether you holiday cottage is in North or South Wales, there is plenty to see and do. A selection of activities can be found below. Take your pick to help ensure your cottage holiday is fun-filled!

The National Parks of Wales with their peak and landscapes are often a big attraction to the visitors to Wales. One of these mountains includes Moel Famau which translates to mean Mother Mountain will on a clear day provide the opportunity to view Liverpool, Snowdonia and the Cheshire Plain if you go on a clear day. Whilst Snowdon itself which is the highest peak in Wales also offers fabulous views and for those who are unable to make the climb there is a train which can take you to the peak and the cafe on top.

If walking is what you're after then rambling through the three castles in South Wales is a great way to enjoy the region. Sample dizzying heights with a stroll across the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct.

For more of a thrill, the Mountains of Wales offer some fantastic mountaineering and rock climbing opportunities, and there are some wonderful caves to investigate such as Ogof Draenen, with 65km of underground tunnels or head to the coastline for all types of surfing including wind and kite surfing.

Carmarthenshire in the South of Wales also offers great places for walkers, cyclists and horse riders with miles of paths through farmlands and coastlines. Alternatively, you can head around the coast to Pembrokeshire which offers the chance for whale and dolphin spotting trips.

The terrain also offers further activity sports such as White-water rafting, sea kayaking, wakeboarding, 4x4 trails, paragliding, land yachting and jet skiing.

The isle of Anglesey just off the North West Coast of Wales is an extremely popular destination for tourists with sandy beaches as well as having the variety of freshwater and sea water angling. Also on offer are four eighteen hole golf courses which are scattered around the island. With many of our properties within walking distance it can be the perfect location for those looking for a round of gold or a day of fishing. The island also caters for those looking for more history with a number of historic sites including Beaumaris Castle and the Melin Llynnon windmill which is still in operation even to today.

As well as the mountains and landscape, Wales also has plenty more on offer with a huge amount of castles including Harlech, Caernarfon and Conwy as well as steam trains, museums, citadels, art galleries, lively family parks, craft centres, coalmines, adventure places, rugby and football stadiums, stately homes and retail therapy centres crammed with flavour and Welsh hospitality meaning that you don't just have to be interested in nature to enjoy a stay in Wales!

If you enjoy your food then there are a number of dishes that can be tried during your stay. The well known Welsh Lamb is a must whilst many seafood dishes are worth going trying as when they say fresh they mean fresh with many being fished within 200 metres of where they are sold.

If you are looking for something a bit more sophisticated or lively then look no further than the Welsh capital of Cardiff where you can find round the clock entertainment and also the famous Millennium Stadium where many big sporting and musical events take place.
