Southern Wales
Come and see us!
Southern Wales is such a diverse area, rugged coastline,
lively Capital City, vales and valleys we have it all.
The hustle and bustle of
Wales' capital city, Cardiff is must see when visiting the
region. Historic museums and castles sit comfortably
alongside modern sports stadiums and shopping centres.
Highlights include the National History Museum at St Fagans or the
impressive Wales Millennium Centre performing arts complex in
Cardiff Bay.
Just a short drive away from the thriving city is the peaceful and
tranquil Wye Valley and Vale of
Usk. The stunning
scenery is home to historical remains from both
the Roman and Norman eras as well as the magnificent ruins of
Tintern Abbey. The area is popular for walkers and foodies
and hosts the famous Abergavenny Food Festival each September and
is home to both of Wales' Michelin starred restaurants.
People the world over would have seen for themselves how beautiful
this area is as it was home to the 2010 Ryder Cup.
Heritage, walking and activities are just some of the
highlights on offer in the Southern Wales
Valleys.
Don't miss the annual walking festival each autumn where you get
the chance to see the breathtaking scenery for yourself. As
you'd expect there's plenty of historic sites to visit with the
World Heritage Site and Big Pit National Coal Museum at Blaeanavon,
Caerphilly Castle, Cyfarthfa Castle Museum and Bedwellty House and
Gardens amongst the most popular.
Come down from the
Valleys and head for the coast and Wales' premier water sports
centre at Porthcawl on the Golden Coast of
Southern Wales with Rest Bay considered one of the best surfing
beaches in the country. Elsewhere in the area is the Bridgend
Designer Shopping Outlet, the historic castles of Coity and Ogmore
and the vast Merthyr Mawr sand dunes system. Along the
Glamorgan Heritage Coast you will find an array of quaint
picturesque villages. Here you will find the town of
Cowbridge in the Vale of Glamorgan. Described as having a
rural edge with city chic it's a great place to lunch after a
morning of browsing designer boutiques.
We hope that's given you a taste of what we can offer you in
Southern Wales, there's plenty more information throughout the
website so please go and take a look.
