How to enjoy a holiday in a cottage in Wales
Consider Wales, and what comes to your mind? What I can picture are rugged mountain peaks, green rolling hills and plenty of grazing sheep. Wales retains a charm and beauty that is rare in a world where natural landscapes are disappearing. It could account for the fact that visitors numbers are exceeding 13 million per year!
Wales as a holiday destination has a little something for everyone - historic castles, open spaces and an array of adventure sports to suit any level. Another fascinating option when considering things to do in Wales, is exploring the ancient mines and caves litter the hillsides.
The history of Wales has been dramatic and rich, with conflicts and battles and royal misdemeanors. The small country boasts 641 castles, built between the 10th and 18th centuries and displaying an enormous range of both ancient and modern architectural styles. For example, Beaumaris Castle on the Isle of Anglessey, which was started in the 13th century, is a fine piece of British medieval military architecture. Wales also has many chuches and abbey, as well as its medieval castles most of which are available to the public to visit. And while you're soaking up the historic atmosphere, you might as well drop in to any of Wales' 320 art galleries or the National Museum to get a glimpse of Welsh culture.
If checking out Welsh history is not your idea of perfect holidays in Wales, there is plenty of scope for indulging in all sorts of adventure sports. Activities are abundant here and range from cycling, walking, surfing and canoeing.
Although the perfect holiday is one that lets you dictate the pace that you want to go. Holiday cottages in Wales are the perfect location for a lazy vacation when you decide to do as little or as much as you fancy. A cottage, unlike a hotel, lets you make your own decisions and plans and removes the need to worry about other people and their habits. It's one of the best ways to enjoy some quality time with the family and friends, away from the bustle of daily life.
