Wales
Dragons, castles, and wild mountain peaks
Wales punches well above its weight as a family destination. It has more castles per square mile than anywhere in the world, Snowdonia offers genuine mountain adventures for all ages, and the Pembrokeshire coast is one of Britain’s finest stretches of coastline. Add in warm Welsh hospitality and you’ve got a brilliant UK escape.
