Weekend breaks and short breaks in Wales
If you are staying for only a short break or for a weekend, it is important to make good use of the time available. Day trips or half-day trips are the key to getting a lot into a mini-break in Wales, and luckily there are plenty of activities that fit the bill.
I have listed below a selection of activities that awaits a visitor on any short breaks in Wales, or weekend breaks in Wales.
You can find country sports parks where you can spend and hour or two doing archery or clay pigeon shooting, or you could have a go at quad biking or go-karting if moving fast is appealing.
If you feel like go cycling, climbing or walking around the country, you can take as long or short as you prefer. Ramblers and hikers will be delighted by the number of trails on offer. You may wish to take a short walk for several miles, requiring less than a day, or go camping for the full weekend and feel the great outdoors.
There are half day indoor courses availble for climbers, which are designed to save you precious time. A day at least can be enjoyed in the picturesque Gower Peninsula or the mountains of Snowdonia.
Another popular option is fishing, with a profusion of great fisheries throughout the country, you won’t waste too much time trying to find one.
You can use the evenings or half days to sample some of the culture, visit a museum or art gallery or centre for crafts, or maybe see a performance in the Wales Millenium Centre.
If you are not spending long in the country, you may prefer to stay in one of the delightful holiday cottages in Wales or a B&B. Wales has plenty of high-quality hotels if you don’t fancy catering for yourself or your family, and cosy, family-run B&Bs to give you a taste of home away from home.
