Walking

Walking in Wales is something of a national obsession.  With the stunning mountains, beautiful countryside and flat cities it's not surprising that we just love to lace up our boots, stick on our back pack and head outside. 

Then there's our glorious coastline, all 870 miles of it.  And now thanks to the Wales Coastal Path you can walk the entire length of it.  Starting in Chepstow in the South East, the path follows the Severn Esturary and then the Bristol Channel along the South coast, past the the cities of Newport and Cardiff and on to Wales' premier seaside resort in Porthcawl.  From there the path heads to Gower and Pembrokeshire before turning right and up the West coast and then along the North coast to Queensferry.  Quite a trek. 

And if that's not enough for you, you can take the Offa's Dyke Path back down the eastern side of Wales to Chepstow where you can start your second lap.
