Scaling New Heights: Climbing in Snowdonia National Park
Obviously, Snowdonia National Park is a must-visit in Wales for any outdoor enthusiast. Mount Snowdon is the highest mountain in the British Isles south of the Scottish Highlands, so there are plenty of great climbing routes here for all abilities, such as Llanberis Path for beginners through to the challenging yet highly rewarding Crib Goch route for experienced climbers.
There are also many lesser-known crags and climbing routes to choose from, and the park itself is bursting with breathtaking natural scenery, making it an incredible place for nature lovers to explore.
Coastal Kayaking Along Pembrokeshire Coast
The Pembrokeshire Coastline is truly breathtaking and a hidden gem compared to other coastal areas in the UK. It is the perfect place for a kayaking adventure, which would give you the chance to explore secluded sea caves and even see puffins if you come between mid-April and late July. This is also a great time to come because the waters will be calm and the weather will (hopefully!) be pleasant.

Wales is famously home to the Brecon Beacons – a stunning mountain range that is used to train members of the UK armed forces and military reservists. This means that there are all kinds of thrilling outdoor adventures to have here, including exhilarating mountain biking trails. There are trails for all abilities here, including the popular Gap Road offering incredible views of the area. Newer developments in areas like Afan Forest have brand new facilities that will provide an enjoyable experience. After an exhilarating ride, you can stop and unwind at a coffee shop to refuel and share stories with fellow bikers.

Anglesey is also the perfect place for this, with a rugged coastline where you can explore caves, rock pools, and natural arches. Of course, safety is key with an activity like this, so you should always book with reputable companies that offer coasteering sessions for all abilities.
Wales is a nature playground with many exciting and beautiful landscapes that are perfect for an adventure holiday.
