VISIT WALES

92

SEPTEMBER

“Cardiff is bursting with culture, so visit one of its many museums and galleries, such as

National Museum Cardiff or St Fagan’s National History Museum…”

It’s the

Year of Adventure in Wales in 2016

, so why not explore the buzzing capital

city of Cardiff and its surrounding area? Here are just 5 of the many fun things to do!

Come to Cardiff!

1. Hit the beach!

Rhossili Bay

In 2015, Rhossili was once again voted the third

best beach in the UK and the 11th best in Europe,

by users of TripAdvisor. It’s on the Gower Peninsula,

near Swansea, which was the UK’s first designated

Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Relax on three

miles of golden sands or take a clifftop walk with

stunning views over the sea!

2. Celebrate rugby

Principality Stadium

Take a tour around the home of Welsh rugby – a

huge part of Welsh culture. The tour gives you the

opportunity to walk in the footsteps of Wales’ rugby

heroes, from seeing the home team dressing room to

walking down the players’ tunnel to the pitch.

3. Head for the hills

Four Falls Walk, Brecon Beacons

Enjoy wooded gorges and waterfalls on the

5.5-mile Four Falls Walk in the Brecon Beacons

National Park, including Sgwd Clun-Gwyn, whose

roar can be heard far in advance. Further east,

there’s supposedly an entrance to a fairy kingdom

somewhere along the three-mile Elidir Trail.
